First and foremost, let's talk about the fact he freaking turn Paper Mario into a game of Overcooked? Then again, this the guy who made a Rouge-like out of Paper Mario, so if anyone could pull it off in such a short period of time, it makes sense it would be him.

The mod itself was fun (once I fully figured out how it worked) and it was a nice way to introduce/refamiliarize myself with the genre.  It is deceptively difficult but that and the ranking system do add to the replay system.  Which is perfect, as this would be a short mod otherwise.  While assets themselves aren't anything new, the fact they've been repurposed into a completely new style of gameplay is amazing.  First level makes a great introduction to the gameplay, though maybe the tutorial could make it a little more apparent that I have to hold down the button on the rolling pin to mix the batter...as I got stuck because of that level for more time than I'd like to admit  because of that... Second level really went out of it's way with the details.  There's so much going on in the background as you play it that really add charm to it.  

Third level...oh boy... it had a very interesting gimmick, but oh boy, it was hard.  Not to it was a bit buggy, as I found myself passing through counters at times and I'm pretty sure I got myself soft-locked at least once. What is it with the mods in this game jam trying to make me hate Gourmet Guy? xD It certainly felt good when I finally was able to beat it though.

Overall, amazing idea, a few unpolished moments, but definitely understandable given the time frame it was made in.  I do see myself going back to this mod someday to perfect my cake baking skills.
