The game is really enjoyable! The black and white aesthetic gives it a unique identity. I was a bit confused at first, but once I figured out the loop, I got much faster. Interpreting the theme as 'Microwaves' was a clever touch!

Just one piece of feedback: When dragging food items from the bottom to the microwave, the numbers on some items are almost impossible to read. Improving the contrast there would help a lot. Congrats on finishing in time, great job!

once i got the hang of it, it was very fun. I could always figure out why the microwave wasnt working when i put the right time in, but overall it was a great game! nice work

Always love another fellow microwave game dev haha. that was fun, it was slightly confusing at first, but was really fun when i got the hang of it!

art style was simple but gave a charm to the gameplay. some labels showing what each zone is might be helpful!

Submitted

Love the theme interpretation !

The style is very nice as well. Took me way too much time to figure out how to find the correct timings.

It's quite challenging as the commands are coming and expriring fast, but that makes it quite fun as well

Very cool entry!

I like the mechanics, gameplay idea and the art style but it's going waayy too fast for me atm hahah. Also I kind of wish the labels were just the same every time

Submitted

II have not idea what to do

I love this visual. It's a little confusing at first, but I quickly figured it out.

Submitted

th style is amazing I love it

Submitted

Really interesting 1-bit 3d style!

I did notice that the label would spawn inside the package sometimes so you couldn't read it.

Clicking randomly to figure out how to give people their food worked, but some tooltips or something might have made that part less confusing.

You're the first one I've seen going microwave with the theme, nice job being creative!

Very cool game and art style. Was panicking at the beginning not knowing what to do but got the hang of it eventually and it was pretty fun. Wish there was some scoring system or way to lose.

Absolutely unique take on the theme. Love the esthetics and man, the time detect element is great!

but soo tough, i played FPS that were less stresssful :D

Submitted

I like the style, I wish I could just use the mouse to rotate the package instead of using the sliders on the sides.

I also wish that the times on the labels remained the same instead of being random so that I could memorize them and go faster.

Submitted

iloved the style

Submitted

Nice. I like the style, but it's hard to understand how to see the label. Sometime seems you can't set the timer also if you find the label 

Submitted

Could have needed a tutorial for your game. I am not very good with time-limited games, make me nervous and fumbling :-D

Submitted

Its not a bad idea, it just need to be polish, nice game

Submitted

Love this minimalistic style! The game is quite challenging but charming. Looking forward further development!
