i remember playing the predecessor to this game on yoyogames when i was a kid, and i remember really liking it despite being extremely clunky. so when i found out that it became a standalone game i was super psyched. the gameplay loop is great and the presentation is miles ahead of its predecessor. the only major downside though is that it's pretty grindy and the foods are kind of expensive. if it weren't for that this would probably be one of my favorite games, but it's kind of a big turn-off for me. ah well, at least the visuals are charming enough.
