Thank you so much!! It's the first time I put my own music in a game so it makes me really happy that people like it :D

(+2)

my bento :)

Looks tasty :)

i want my mom to pack me this

Me too! :D

(+1)

that´s exactly what I did!!! even with the box and background

(+3)

I think it's a game that could be really good for education. I think it would be great to add bento boxes from other countries besides Japanese ones!

(+1)

Sounds nice :) I didn't think about that! 
Are there bento boxes in other countries? or do you mean lunch boxes in general?

(+1)

Bento boxes for picnics in Korea are similar to those in Japan, but whereas in Japan they have triangular kimbap, in Korea they have a variety of regular kimbap, and there is no umeboshi in the rice!

Interesting, thank you for the information! :)

I love this - do you think you'll be adding more food options? I'd love to use it with my students later this year when they study Japanese food.

Wow cool! how old are they?

Yes, I'm planning to draw more :) When are you planning to use it with your class? Right now I'm in the middle of my semester, it's supposed to end in July.

Year 8. We are doing our Food unit in term 4 (October-December).

sounds great :) I'll let you know when we release a new update

Sooooooo cute!! And I like the music. Thank you for the game.

Thank you!!
it was really fun to compose the music for this :)

(+1)

I like this game a lot! I read you were planning on adding more design options and I'm excited for when those come out! 

(+1)

So happy to hear that :) Thank you! I hope we'll manage to do so soon

wish bentos were a thing where i live

Me too! It can be your thing though, I made bento twice and it was very fun :)

(+1)

i'll try to do one someday

(+1)

this is so cute i had a lot of fun with this, thank you!!

Thank YOU!! :) I'm glad you enjoyed

(+3)

love this!!

Thank you :D

its a rlly cute game

(+1)

Thanks :)

bento-poster-exampleSo cute!!!

 And I suppose it might get even better if the export function can generate a simple poster with the bento I made and a QR code / link leading to this wedsite (maybe like the one I made above), rather than just a screen shot. People might be more likely to post that on their social media and thus attract more people to have a try!

All in all, really curing and fun. Thanks for making my day!

Thank you :) :)
That's a cool idea, we will keep it in mind!

HEARTWARMING, JUST LIKE SOME MOTHER PREPARING FOR CHILDREN BEFORE SCHOOL OR WORK, EXTRA TRAVELS/ 

(+1)

Aww thank you :) :) this is part of what I thought of when drawing  

(+2)

Love this!! It's such an esthetic experience that makes you feel happy and relaxed:)

Thank you! :D

(+2)

This is very cute, the music perfectly match the graphics and I love all of it! It would be also better if there would be an actual gameplay. Maybe you can try to make a game based on making the highest number of bentos within a timer...what do you think?

(+2)

Aww, Thank you :) 

I also love the kind of games you suggest, I think our game is more about design so we are planning to add more design options in the future.

(+2)

Oh, I see! So I'm waiting for those!

(+2)

Happy to hear :) hope I'll manage to draw more soon!

Verry Cute!

Thank you :)
