Hey there Mr.Srcarpato loved ur game so much I made an itch.io account. If I ever get the money for ur game I will definitely buy it. And here's the best Bento I've made so far. Enjoy the meal

Hey, can you add a thing to discard the food you're holding? This has held me up on a lot of runs.

I really like this game, both in gameplay and style. It's super cool, (the Customer gives big Leshy Inscryption or the Dealer from Buckshot Roulette energy lol)

There are a few things about the game balance I would like to note, I hope it's helpful :3 (I played for 45 minutes, beat the game and unlocked most items. But there might still be things I missed.)

There currently seems to be no reason to use bigger/more complicated ingredients like Beef, Bacon or Baguettes over small ingredients like Olives or Pickles. There are a few way I suggest, that could fix this:

• Limiting how many ingredients can be used in a Bento Box, forcing the players to use the bigger/more complicated ingredients if they want to fill the whole box
• Making the bigger/more complicated pices worth more than the smaller ones, e.g. making the Olive (1 square) worth 1 point and the Baguette (4 squares) worth 8 points. This could also be used to encourage the weirder shaped ingredients like Beef, Bacon and Pepper
• Employing a deckbuilder type system where the player has a limited amount of each ingredient (e.g. 2 of everything), so they can't just spam the same ingredient over and over.

I thought the items were fine, just lacking in variety (but that's understandable since it's a demo). I was stumped by the wording at times on items like Miser's Fingers; "Whenever you get X or more bonuses from a single plating:", since I didn't fully understand what a "plating" was. I assumed it was whenever you put an ingredient down, but Six Fingers?  made that seem unlikely, since getting 6 bonuses from one piece is (I think ?) impossible. Another small thing was that I was initially confused on if Glutton's Ring was permanent, for the round or for the Bento Box, though that could just be me being dumb (something like: Gives +1 Multiplier permanently would clear any confusion, though).

A small final nitpick is that if you reach the goal score with Bento Boxes remaining, the game seems to progress to the next round without giving you any compensation (like additional points, extra Bento Boxes next round or the letting you play the round out) leaving you at a disadvantage for playing too well (which might be intentional, but it seemed silly).

Overall, I REALLY enjoyed this game, even if it is quite small right now. And I hope this feedback is helpful. Sorry, if what I wrote is unnecessarily longwinded, but I hope you appreciate it.

And if you need help playtesting in the future I would love to help out if possible :3 (discord: isucunei)

Hi Eduardo! Loved the demo so much; the atmosphere is amazing. I sent you an email to discuss a possible LATAM Spanish translation if you're interested. I wish you all the luck with the game's release 🫡

Hello, I would like to ask if in the future I could work and help with adding the Belarusian language to the game?
