Neat game! I wish the start was a bit harder and more hectic, the first like few seconds are really easy and a bit boring. The last few seconds are really cool and hectic. I can see this being fleshed out more with more recipes and minigames. Great art. Good job!

This is a very cool game and concept! Wish it was a bit more forgiving though: the mouse doesn't always pick up the tomato/meat so a bigger hitbox would be nice there, and the knife sometimes reaches all the way across the board for some reason. Overall a good submission, would like to see this get expanded upon. Good job!

Squared AwayVery fun indeed :D Took a while to understand the remaining knife is dangerous, somehow it felt like it was still in the air rather than on the board, maybe something can be done to improve that visualization. Also sometimes the object drops from the cursor for some reason.

The Hotheaded HatNot the first person to think the remaining knife wasn't dangerous! Didn't even cross my mind and then as soon as someone pointed it out I realized I should've made that more clear. The cursor drop was a hacky solution to stopping players from glitching the food out of bounds. I definitely could've made it so that it remembers that the food is being dragged, I just didn't have time.
So cool and creative! Loved the concept and presentation! Congrats!

COUNT CLAYCULA DREAMSI really liked this game! The only thing I didn't like is that I lose the thing I was holding if I move too quickly. Anyway it's my favorite game I've tried so far.

#DateMyMonsterThe idea that the tomato halves are essentially extra lives is genius. Also that music is bumpin'

Mimic's LureReally fun game - feels like a massive boss fight. Visuals and tone are nailed down really well in my opinion.

And Roll For AdventureFun Game! Although the hixbox for the knife in the first level is a bit harsh.
