Made it just past the triple potato fight. it was nice to learn the logic to see when to use each item and figure out which rule went wrong when I missed, reminds me slightly of Shin Megami Tensei / Persona combat systems in which you keep up your 'combo' as long as you use the right elements, but in a more unique enemy-specific way.
Some graphic tweaks could help make the info faster to read -like highlighting respective colors on the recipe itself-, more specific details if you'd like to polish this further.
Cool beans!

Whoa, quite the interesting game, being some sort of fusion of a roguelike deckbuilder and one of those rules-heavy job sims! It definitely tickled my fancy with its unique concept, and I found the presentation to be rather cute and charming as well: I found it amusing that it ran with the concept to an extreme degree, even making health represented by physical documents when it could've just used a non-diegetic HUD for that.

For the most part, I had a good time playing the game and trying to strategize the best way to approach the fights, balancing what cards will ensure that I don't violate any rules not just for the enemy I'm fighting, but for the remaining enemies as well until my deck gets to draw again. There were some subtle tricks to consider here and there, like how as long as it's a killing blow, you can use any card you like, allowing you to save some critical colors for another opponent.

It could certainly be me just being bad, but in spite of my best attempts and how much fun it could be, it felt rather inevitable and frustrating that you could just get screwed over by bad RNG. Compounding this is when I swear I'd used the appropriate card but I'd get counter-attacked: wish when that happens that the rule I violated would be highlighted or something to give me feedback. Sometimes I also feel that the rules just weren't written in a clear manner, both in terms of wording and as to whether they have preference of order, and that could be leading to my failures as well.

While I had a rough time, I'd still consider this a nice game jam result as the experimental concept hooked me and had me very intrigued at all the different ways it could be iterated upon, so well done!

Very Cool!

one of the best games in this website for me

My secret of success - as soon as possible find tomato soup.
