This was fun! I appreciate that you don't die instantly from losing your tether, meant I could just speed through a couple of stages when I lost my tether near the end. I love the random meals being prepared too, it gave that little bit extra. Especially when I won the stage and went "huh? Oh is that what dinner was?" because I thought it was still the previous attempt's food.
I'd love to play a full game of this! Do wish it had an ending though. Maybe with some of that food being eaten, hmm...
