Really cool idea! Though I do find the game too hard, the orders get very overwhelming very quickly. It's difficult to go past a few orders. Also, I feel like having another key (other than tab) that lets you select the food in a counterclockwise order would streamline the gameplay a lot.

Neat idea! The tutorial explains the concept well, which is nice. Art is very well done!

Nice idea! Was fun to call the human around. Amazing music and art.

Very cool idea and beautiful art

Clever idea! I also particularly liked the tutorial text as it was pretty fun to read. I was a bit confused about the chef though. Sometimes she'd walk up to the left hand corner without me doing anything.

I like the idea of controlling the food and it have good art and music, but i feel there is actually no much difference in gameplay than a normal cooking game, only that you move in the countertop instead of on the floor.

I really liked the concept, super creative! The tutorial was great, and very amusing, and I liked the art direction.

I also loved the idea of the food being able to summon the human chef, great role reversal!

My main suggestion would be to allow some way to cycle forwards and backwards through selections, rather than just forwards, or perhaps to be able to click on the thing you want to control. It was at times stressful to be frantically tabbing through items while the meat is about to burn only to overshoot and have to go around again.
