I’d have liked the difficulty to ramp up a little slower, but otherwise a solid effort.

I like that you have thought of the difficulty settings, but I found that easy or normal didn’t really seem to make it more or less difficult for me – are they working?

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the difficulty settings are working, but they were really rushed as the last feature, so they are very subtle. If we had more time, we would definitely tweak the settings, add a high score, some more sounds, and bit more polish :)

Very real game, nice art and music.

This is incredibly addicting! I honestly have no complaints, it's just amazing how well the difficulty is balanced out. My PB is 213 on hard mode, I swear the tension is unreal as every single bar starts to inevitably run out. Great work!

Submitted

Great game! Biggest issue was that it was too real hahaha Quite hard to balance things out

It's a cool idea, I just had issues where for some reason I could not interact with the wife, the circle would be green and I would be hitting spacebar and nothing would happen.

Developer

Yes, the wife circle is just for dropping off food, so there is no other interaction. It should not be green when you don't have food I guess, or there might be other better solution. Thanks for the feedback!

haha great take on the theme! got to 85. Good job for the jam! Wish the oven glowed or dinged or something when it was done cooking.

Developer

Good idea! Sadly we didn't have enough time for polishing, but it supposed to be a feature :)

Submitted

Oh, no! I shitted myself to death!

Very funny! Quick, addictive and challenging. Your wife is really demanding!

Submitted

I got a highscore of 103!

It was pretty hard to keep the wife happy even with the hamburgers!

Pretty enjoyable and stressful watching those sliders go down

Submitted

Nice art, nice idea, points for 3 levels of difficulty. :)

Submitted

That was fun, I tried 3 times and my best score was 65! The wife sure likes hamburgers hehe.  Very creative idea and all the pixel art was layed out really well, the UI was super clear and easily understood too!!  Managing a gamer's household is a lot of work, I should thank my wife more hehe.  Neat Game!! Please check out my non-creative entry when you can :D
