Colour me surprised! Or whatever colour is associated with that expression... purple.
This 'game' isn't bad! I've been playing the tutorial levels and I'm doing the first recipes where they don't walk you through step by step.
The interface works quite well. At the top, there is a banner of icons that display all of your kitchen areas.
Pantry, Chopping board, Stove, Oven, Mixing Area, sink... etc etc. Finished chopping that spinach in the chopping area and need to add it to your pot for soup at the stove? No problem! Drag that spinach to the "Stove" icon. Click on the stove icon to go to your stove and your spinach is there on a nice little plate beside your pot!
If anything, it's much more realistic than cooking mama. The graphics are sweet.
