Description
Mai-Chan's Sweet Buns is a puzzle game about pastries. Our goal is to help Mai-Chan serve her sweet buns to customers at her bakery.
This game was created as part of the A Game By Its Cover Jam 2018.
How to Play
Arrow keys - Move Cursor
X or M or V - (X) Button. Confirm. Serve pastry.
Z or N or C - (O) Button. Cancel. Turn cursor.
The 4 cards at the bottom of the screen represent the orders of the customers. Our task is to find and select a line of pastries on the board that matches one of the cards. We can select vertical or horizontal lines. But it needs to be an uniterrupted line of the same pastry
We can only serve lines of pastries that perfectly match one of the cards. If we ever get stuck, we can look into the Star Box to activate special powers. Special powers cost stars. We can gain more stars by aligning 4 of the same pastry in a row.
We lose the game if we get stuck and run out of stars. But if we manage to serve all of the order cards in the deck, we win!
Developer Updates
Iโve heard a lot of peole struggle with figuring out the keyboard controls. So Iโve added a reminder underneath the game that pops up if you try to use the mouse. Hope that helps! Enjoy!

I like the game :) the star-powers really make it more fun than your general match-3 game.
One complaint though, the game doesn't seem to save progress, had to start over when I returned :|

For a theme/jam game this is pretty good! Wish it had mouse/WASD/space, or a bit more power variety ('overeat' ~ more than # in an order, change single pastries, or so on) but it's fun unlocking the powers. speaking of which (most cost 1 star to use): [5] swap pastry with its 'next' at the top. [6] (free) start with +1 star. [7] swap 2 adjacent columns. [8] swap 2 vertically. [9] redraw 'next 4' slots. [10] randomly change an order's pastry. [11] swap 2 horizontally. [12] (free) start with +1 star. [13] swap 2 adjacent rows. [14] flip board vertically. [15] duplicate pastry into 4 'next' slots. [16] (costs 2) clear all of a type.
