Excellent little game. Loved the expressiveness of the characters. Well thought rhythm puzzle minigame.
Suggestions:
Gameplay:
Ending the combat midway thru meal preparation thrashes the mounting anticipation you've built with the music and rising pitch of correct ingredients. I suggest you allow the player to complete the meal as normal but have the completion of the stuffing session be already locked in. You've built the tension, let the player satisfactorally release it. :D
Accessibility:
PLEASE support maximized screen/fullscreen. It's incredibly frustrating having to adjust and unadjust resolution settings on a modern monitor for a single game.
It'd also be nice if we could use Spacebar as a substitute for the Z key.
Controller support would golden too.
Looking fowrard to the next chapter. Delicious! :P
