A Recipe for Disaster is a cooperative video game for 1–4 players on the same device, in which you try to run a bakery! (But you can only move around … and throw ingredients.)

What’s special?

This game was made as part of a (self-imposed) “one week game” challenge. I did this to force myself to keep the project small and contained, and ensure I release something fun within a week.

It turned out to be such a success that I made many more “one week games” afterwards! This game has 20 levels, each adding something new (which means it still received a surprising amount of content), and is just plain fun.

At the official page, you can also find more information — such as trailers and screenshots — how I made it, and why I gave myself this challenge.

What’s even more special?

This game was noticed by an online gaming platform (POKI). I ported the game to their system, together with another one of my “one week games” called Totems of Tag. (Although by that time, they completely stopped being “one week”, of course.)

It was the first time I made a web game, supported by ads, as contracted work for a big gaming website.
