KuloNiku: Bowl Up!

Love it! So cute and so much personality! Exactly what I need, it's interesting but you can play it for fun and relaxed. I love using Bahasa Indonesia setting, its so Indonesia and it makes me bond with the character even more. So proud to know Indonesia create this game!

Awesome game. Scratched the cooking game itch and also has Dan. Dan is the best ever. In real life, please never order a soup and then ask for everything in the soup to be removed. It's diabolical.

虽然这个小镇上都是一些喜欢篡改我菜单的刁民，但这个游戏很好玩，角色们也都很可爱，我决定和解了

Gameplay dan storynya lumayan bagus, cuman pas udah kebuka semua section masaknya jadi kerasa repetitif pas di akhir game. over all 8/10

It's so good, I'm glad I bought this when it released.

El juego me impresionó muchísimo. Es súper divertido, dinámico, fluido y con mecánicas que se acoplan de una manera perfecta. No es un simple juego de cocinar y servir; todo tiene su chiste, su táctica y hasta el cuidado para que cada platillo sea perfecto. También tendrás que hacer retos de cocina muy divertidos, establecer conexiones y amistades, comprar diferentes cosas, decorar y mucho más. Por otra parte, tambien hay una narrativa interesante y que se desarolla conforme pasan los días de labor. Los personajes tienen un peso durante el desarrollo de la misma y aportan de manera individual con una personalidad bastante pulida y única. La ambientación y la estética es buenísima. Me encantó el diseño de los personajes, las ilustraciones y se nota que cada detalle del juego está hecho con amor. ¡Me encantó el juego en general! Le doy un 10/10. De verdad es de los juegos de cocina más increíbles y bonitos que he jugado. 😊

fun little game. a lot of steam users are always looking for cooking mama style games, and i think this delivers a similar vibe without being a direct ripoff. there are two main styles of gameplay, running your shop, and doing meatball brawls. meatball brawl has more of the cooking mama style minigames and there less of a rush, more strategy involved than what running your shop entails. at your shop, you'll be given an order and you have to complete it in a certain amount of time. less minigames but still satisfying gameplay, and you can skip running your shop if you really want to. the character designs are very cute, but i do feel like the "VN/dating sim" side of the game pales in comparison to the actual game, it's more of a gimmick that drives the plot and your relationships with the characters and less of "i'm going to date my favorite character in this roster". i wouldn't go in expecting what you'd get out of a typical dating sim, even though you can (and should) go on dates with the NPCs, it's mostly for gameplay boons than anything else. you do learn more about their backstories and you can get some cute unique art pieces depending on your choices, but that's about it. i can't really complain though because that's not a heavily advertised part of the game or a real selling point, but if i were to provide some actionable critique, i would love if some of the other characters could be selected as partners in some eventual dlc. esp characters like mami, ludo, the bread delinquent, the catgirl maid chick, the otaku dude. certain npcs are very generic, but because of their designs, i honestly thought they'd be partners/datable/whatever. either way, i recommend this game! the progression is well-balanced, you feel like the game is still gradually increasing in difficulty throughout the game without overwhelming you, instead of turning into a cakewalk halfway through. i still feel challenged and i'm almost to the end at this point. the free cat delivery update is also very cute and adds even more challenge to the late-game!

A fun cooking sim with a basic relationship system for the NPCs. While the main storyline cooking is simple (click buttons to add ingredients), there is a brawl that has more involved QTEs. What I really like about this game is the ability to fast forward time if you prefer getting relationship storylines done quickly, or just playing the brawl. Both of those events are only playable on your off days of the week, but the game allows you to skip ahead to these days, and you'll still earn daily income for the days you skip. Works great on Steamdeck!
