I'm kinda on the fence on this one. It feels like a coaching game, where you prepare your "players" and let it run to see if your team wins. Still, it's well presented, though I wish there was more instructions on how to play the game, since it's not really clear what the benefits of having the items are. Like, does having milk and/or lasagna affect their speed, stamina etc.?
The layout for the main menu was also a little visually confusing with the alternating text and pictures. I would suggest just keeping things similar, if you're not going to utilize any borders to divide the selection options, or simply have larger spacing in between.
Hope this wasn't too harsh a criticism.
