Fun concept, I love me a good cooking game! Cool how it affects your opponents side of the scale. I'd love to see a PVP version of this!

Pretty cool chef stomp-off game! Victory by sabotaging is a cool concept.

The game is so hard, I swear I couldn't beat the silly mustache man! Love the silly graphics and gameplay. Would have loved more food or mechanics to spam on him to make it a bit more chaotic, overall super fun!

I adore this concept! The visuals are great and it's a really cool theme. I tried a few times and ultimately it felt like I couldn't win. It seemed like anytime I pressed the "Send Carrots" button, nothing happened. It also took me awhile to realize that "Send Onion" cost 10 since that isn't displayed.

With a bit more content I could definitely see this being a full game. Love it!

Thanks for the feedback! The carrots should be dropping on the opponent's side but we'll take a look! And yes...we realized we forgot to put the price in for the onion 😅

It's a cute idea with cute designs and nice take on the theme but it didn't feel engaging enough for me. You said that the chef attacked automatically, maybe it would feel better to be the one initiating the actions even if it's just smashing a button. I mean we are in a life or death situation : I wanna play with this intensity ! Nicely done nonetheless

I thought this was a really innovative interpretation of the theme. I also really liked your art!
