The gameplay offers around 10 hours of content, primarily structured around weekly exams that become too easy, diminishing the intended challenge. While the inclusion of elementals adds a charming farming element, it may feel repetitive over time. Overall, players appreciate the fun aspects but desire more depth and rewards to enhance the experience.
“Each exam takes place every Sunday, which means you have 6 weeks of gameplay.”
“Another aspect of the gameplay are the elementals, cute creatures that when hugged will release spices.”
“The gameplay was fun the first couple of weeks.”
“The idea of taking the exams is nice, but it is too easy: by week 3 I had every recipe prepared on the first day, kind of ruining the 'exam anxiety' part of the gameplay.”
“That part of the gameplay is a bit too farmy for me.”
“I feel like the orc should at least acknowledge that she has nothing else to offer, or Baba should tell my character that 'oh wow, you completed the exam table already?', etc. Nothing that changes the gameplay, but just a little reward.”

“I was not expecting a storyline, but it was there.”
“The story was cute but short.”
“There's a cute storyline, but I don't think it was executed so well to make up for the rest.”

“The vibrant artwork and attention to detail and decoration of the shop sets a perfect whimsy tone.”

The game has limited replayability, primarily offering achievements as the only incentive for multiple playthroughs, which can be completed in a single run. Many players feel the game is overpriced for its playtime and express a desire for more content to enhance replay value.
“Overall though, I enjoyed my playthrough, and wish there was more replayability involved or more content in general.”
“I think overall it's a little overpriced for the amount of playtime you should expect; there's not really any replay value other than to get the achievements, but you can easily get them all in one playthrough anyway.”
“Overall though, I enjoyed my playthrough and wish there was more replayability involved or more content in general.”

Users find humor in the game's challenges, suggesting that the tension of potentially losing enhances the comedic experience. The interplay between difficulty and humor is highlighted, with some expressing that the game's ability to evoke laughter is tied to its challenge level.
“If it's not challenging, it's not funny. If I don't lose or get close to losing at least once, it's not entertaining.”
