This is a gem, I had a lot of fun with this text based game, the random items you can receive really got a chuckle out of me.

Really creative idea. this was the first text based game I have ever played. A new experience for me and a funny game.

I spent much more time on this game than I planned. Thank you for a great entry!

At the beginning I was a little unsettled, but it's good! I liked it very much in its simplicity..Having no graphics, it attracts. I loved the music.

Haha this really was great. I loaded it up expecting to play for a couple minutes, but the music kept me going and i managed to win the competition. Really fun!

Your game is brimming with personality and I love it! If baking sourdough is this fun in real life, sign me up, send me some starter right away and I'll give you a gift (and then lie and not give you a gift).

The music ensured I had a dopey smile on my face at all times. At first it felt kind of irrelevant but as it played over and over it became the soundtrack of my journey to master bakership. The descriptions had me laugh out loud multiple times. Even the title of the game is hilarious to me.

A thought that occurred to me while playing the game is that if you get into baking sourdough bread, you become a spreader of the sourdough bug, so to speak, where your friends are the victims. And as an added perk, you can get *stuff*! Who doesn't like *stuff*?? I loved looking over my list of gifts, by the way.

Very nice game. Loved every minute of it.

I really love the concept, but, unfortunately, I know little to nothing about sourdough starters and have no idea how to play! A tutorial would have been nice, but I understand the limitation, time-wise.

Fun game, made me wish I could hire local grandmas to feed it and bake for me.

Quite a fun little game, would like to see it expanded a bit.

This one made me chuckle! The music is goofy, but works very well here! The idea is a great application of the theme, and it was fun to figure out the sweet spot and get all those breads. I think the player needs better friends though, they kept lying and taking all the starter. What a bunch of layabouts!

I spent way more time on this game than I thought I would, great work!

Nice game for sure, even though I am not a fan of text games that much to be honest. Had fun with it though!

Just the looping music got annoying after a while. :)

I enjoyed this game! It was simple and easy, but the game still kept me going because it has a certain charm. I didn't really know when I had 'won' the game, I guess when I had won the baking competition. I kept going after that hoping there would come new options or dialog. Maybe it would be a good idea to explicitly tell the player what the goal of the game is and when they have finished the game. Anyway, well done!

One of the best takes on the theme. Enjoyable simple entry!

I loved the simplicity and humour of this game! Great tie in with the theme too. And the music capped off the whole thing. Loved it!
