I love eating croissants and this is a fresh new idea. I love the art and the kitty cat character. I hope you got some good sleep. I would encourage you continue expending on this idea. Good job!
I love the ascetic and feel of this game! I found the content of the settings page particularly relatable :) I hope you keep updating this because this could be a go to fun casual game I'd pin in my browser.
Possibly user error, but something broke (I saw you r"it broke" button) once I tried to move resting dough from the fridge.
Minor notes you may already be aware of: punctuation characters are rendering as missing characters for some reason, and the loading bar over the station in the lower right only flashes when it's visible.
For context: I tested on Firefox 121.0.
Nice game! It looks very nice. Took a while to get used to the gameplay loop, but once I did, I had a good time :) It's very creative, and I don't think I've every played anything like it. Great job :)
A little review:
Gameplay wise, there's a lot of things to do and it took me a while to understand the game loop, specially because of the different types of "clicking" (Holding, double click, click ten times). Also the timer for the end of the day is a bit too short at the start for how expensive the upgrade is IMO. I like the cat having to move through the stations to work on them.
The artstyle is really charming and I personally I love it, maybe a bit more animation on the stations would make it better but time is gold in game jams so that's ok. But the music though, it gets annoying really fast, it's too simple and too short to have it looping all the time. Something calmer and/or more atmospheric would work way better, the actual music sounds like it would fit some kind of arcade game with more action.
