inbento is a short but sweet puzzle game. The game starts off slowly as it introduces various blocks you'll use to create all the game's bentos in the first 8 worlds (of nine puzzles each), but the difficulty ramps up enough that you'll find a fun challenge in some of the later sections! (Since World 13 introduces a new mechanic, it's on the easier side, but the other 5 worlds have some nice head-scratchers.) But at the same time, level grids never get too big (most are 3-by-4 grids or smaller, iirc), so they'll never feel so complicated that they feel impossible.
I spent just under 5 hours and completed every puzzle in the game without a guide, so I'm satisfied with inbento's price. The cute illustrations between each level provide a nice sense of progression, and the puzzle challenge falls in just the right sweet spot. Even the sound effects and music provide a good backdrop on which you can puzzle over the arrangement of ingredients in a box for a while, and enjoy doing so!
I'd definitely recommend inbento if you're looking for a cute puzzle game with just the right amount of challenge and playtime.

even outside of tutorial levels the difficulty isn't very linear but overall it's a pretty decent game with good art. some of the late-mid levels are fairly challenging; worth the price on sale for anyone interested, worth full price for people moderately experienced with spatial puzzles who can get the most gameplay out of it

love the graphics and the story heppening in the background, the puzzles are challenging but not so much that you'd be stuck at them for hours, a really good casual game to chill out to.

Very cute artstyle, runs really smoothly and the music is very pretty. I wish I wasn't so bad at puzzle games so I could enjoy this a bit more.

Pretty good puzzle game - nice aesthetics, good mechanics, and mostly good level design. The music could use some more variety, and some of the mechanics outstayed their welcome a bit, but overall Inbento was an enjoyable experience. Recommended.

I like this game, but the majority of my playtime was just staring at the screen while the two brain cells occupying my head were trying to connect to one another.
