This was very cute and fun. The movement (especially jump) feels a little floaty but it's got real charm and a very fun mechanic.

- I see the vision, but I feel like the theme could have been stronger. As an example, instead of the sauce being spread onto the worker alone, you could be tasked with attempting to catch the sauce before it hits the ground and "shatters", forcing the player to utilize their movement and the platforms more. In addition, when those allied sauces shatter, it could introduce a new hazard to the field. Take too long, and there will be too many! Hope to see more from you!
