Pros:
- The hand-drawn font is fun and creative.
- The art is well done and fits the theme.
- The idea and gameplay are fun and creative (besides the some of the controls)
- Ending was kind of unexpected
Cons:
- The overlapping letters in the title (on the menu) really bothered me, also the "Bonus" text looks gross. IDK how to explain it.
- The controls are HORRIBLE. The WASD movement is wayyyy to slidey and controlling the dial was a nightmare.
- When controls change, there is no prompt. How am I supposed to know that to strain the macaroni, I have to spam the spacebar? For each step, I recommend adding little popups in the bottom corner telling you how to do it (like you did for the first task).
- Don't show me the score after each task. Gamers don't like being interrupted by unnecessary, uninterruptable cutscenes. This is the same.
- Physics are bad. A few times macaroni fell through the bottom of the pot or strainer. It was also frustrating that when it was time to stir, the macaroni would catapult the spoon out of the pot every time you started stirring fast enough.
- The "gre/at(e)!" thing was just odd and confusing. I get that you are trying to make a pun, but its just confusing. Change it to "grate"!
Overall, creative idea with potential, but the execution needs some work.
