Love the look and feel! The sounds and visuals are spot on, and I love the slicing/chopping challenges - it felt satisfying. I do think that the instructions were a bit overkill - the game seemed pretty well laid-out and your use of symbols to indicate ingredients presents (I believe) a clear course of action for the player.
One small thing that bugged me was that after picking up an ingredient, I had to re-press the arrow keys to begin moving again! Overall I enjoyed my playthroughs of this cute & clever game!
