Just got done playing this for far too long. A genuinely fun short game. The core gameplay loop is very strong, the amount of upgrades is nice, and selling the barbecue is satisfying. On top of that, the art is great. It's all strong, but the Chipp sprite was the standout for me. Fantastic job on this one.

this is insanely cool please consider putting this up on steam for like 5$

Amazing game!  They style is fantastic, the concept is super on theme, and the game play is so fun!  I did get a bug when returning to the restaurant from the anomaly where I couldn't move my character.  Gonna play again though.

Edit:  It seems that there is no limit to how high you can upgrade most things, and I am not proud of how long I spent figuring that out.

Really enjoyed this one! Couldn't finish it since I got softlocked in place after exiting the anomaly space with 0 health, but damn this was cool!

How did an hour pass so quickly? This game will have you locked in from the moment you press play! Great gameplay loop, and the satisfaction of the super smile and Chipp going off along with the regular tips in the food serving portion, peak. Fantastic art and audio, great UI for the shooting portion, awesome!

the art for this game is incredible.  its also really addicting.  the gameplay loop is so clear and so fun.  its a very easy game to just sink into and play a lot of

What an incredibly addictive game with an outstanding visual style to boot!

Hey, I really liked the look and feel of this game! The presentation is just really, really appealing. The combat section has a ton of potential, and it's got that retro crunch that feels soooo good. Reading through the other comment, it looked like you planned more for this game. Would have been nice to see everything you had planned, but oh well. This was still a fun experience!

I did encounter a little glitch that prevented me playing with a controller. The camera kept spinning around the character. I tried unplugging/replugging, or waiting for the game to start before plugging in, and a few other things, but couldn't figure it out. I ended up playing with mouse and keyboard, which didn't diminish the experience at all. (It was a PS4 controller, if that helps!)

This is really good! The balancing of the weapons is interesting, and I like the graphics style. However, since I like some constructive criticism in these posts, here are some nitpicks:

• Is there an ending? At first I assumed it would be defeating The Pitmaster, but that didn't do anything special. Then I thought it might be getting Chip's upgrade (which seems overpriced compared to what you get, more on that later), but that wasn't it either. I only got to around Anomaly 15, so maybe it's later? I assume there's an ending somewhere (if only because I haven't seen credits), but a clicker might not have one.
• The game doesn't seem like it handles coming back with tons of meat especially well--the stack disappearing when you have plenty left isn't a big deal, but it could use with a speed-up of the stacking animation after you cook (say, if you hold A it goes much faster).
• The pickup range on the meat seems a little low--maybe starting at the level 1 range (as opposed to 0) might be good?
• Simply increasing the money you get per dish is a much better deal than going through all the upgrades related to tipping, so much so that those upgrades feel like bloat. I can see how all the tipping upgrades could be better if you combine them, but it's much easier/faster to just upgrade the base price. Maybe that should be a more expensive upgrade--or if you meant it to be commentary on how bad tipping is for service workers, good work! ;)
• The Pitmaster being able to put his hurt area over the teleporter feels a little cheap, but I don't know how you solve that without making it too easy to dodge (though it's not like you could just stay on that spot with all the other enemies swarming you).
