As someone that adores Game & Watch Gallery 2 and Chef in particular... This is super cool. I jumped right in to Classic Hard just to see how close you got it, and it's seriously impressive. It might be just a slight bit easier than it is on Gameboy, but I imagine that's mostly because the way framerate/game logic is handled in the original limiting just how fast you can move. I'm gonna end up playing this thing a lot just to see how high of a score I can get.

Your assumptions on this version's difficulty are definitely all correct, but I also admittedly added a little more leniency in the favor of the player. Like for instance- Yoshi has much less frames of animation where they can't eat food, compared to the original. I aimed for accuracy, and I tried not to deviate too far from the original game's difficulty with the decisions I made. Thank you so much for your feedback!
I think I've done alright so far when it comes to score. I kinda just... Got in the zone during the one medium difficulty classic round and sorta... Kept going. That game lasted a full hour. Now I'm curious if the score caps at 9999 like the original or not... If you read this Bunnynaut, don't confirm that. I can and will figure this out for myself eventually.
