Spring has hunger - GameJam Edition

This game was made for Cozy Spring Jam 2025, hosted by Virtual Turtle Games.

Please note: The web version is sort of busted since I was silly enough to use the function keys for my menu. I recommend playing the Windows version, but by all means, give the web version a try. 

The Fire, Wind, Air and Earth spirits of spring are stirring, stretching in the soil and whispering through the thaw. They are awake now, and they are hungry. 

Your esoteric little food stand in the middle of the woods offers them the elements they crave. It may feel like a small task, but remember; sometimes it’s not thunder that begins the storm, but a match struck quietly in the dark.

Features:

- Half-broken mechanics in a rushed game project.

- Create different dishes by combining arcane elements.

- Feed cute little Spring spirits. 

- Five different endings depending on your score.

- Cozy mode (you can pause the timer).

- Original lofi sound track. 

- All assets were created for this jam (no generative AI or store assets).

Potential future features if the game is appreciated: 

- A good game, hopefully.

- Character-driven narrative.

- RPG elements.

- Improved graphics and movement mechanics.

- Voice acting and sound effects.

Known bugs:

- You tell me!
