How did you interpret the theme?
The main character goes to town eating all what he can while the chef goes to town doing his best to save his restaurant, and I went to town trying to make this in 3 days haha

Awesome game, nice job! I really like the animations for screwing up! How did the chef manage to put so much pressure on a water glass? xD

Developer

Thanks for playing! :D 

And a message from the chef: “A true chef doesn’t reveal his secrets”

(It’s just the magic of silly games haha)

Good choice in controls: JKL required some learning since it's less common than ZXC, so I had to start slow. I only screwed up one time but was able to eat just enough to win. The water drinking part was unexpected and fun. 

Overall this is a well balanced game and is perfect scope for a gamejam! I'll check out your other games too. 

Developer

Nice you had fun with the water minigame, it was the only way I could implement that mechanic. I originally thought that you need to drink water to lower a food gauge, if you eat too much, you need to drink water to keep eating haha

And thanks for playing and the words! ^^

(If you check the other games, just have in mind, the one named “Loop Ball” is a rage bait game and 2 of the 3 are text at the start/story with some gameplay as ending haha)

I love this game's art style. The hand drawn animation was great.

Developer

Thanks for playing! ^^

The water drinking minigame was a nice touch! The control scheme made this a fun challenge, and the animation of the menace just yeeting uneaten food due to incorrect inputs made me laugh.

Developer(+1)

Happy he made you laugh haha, I had fun doing it and he throws the food because its too hard to eat

Also if you get 3 food incorrectly, the Menace just stares you because you keep messing up xD

Thanks for playing!

Nice interpretation of the theme, and I love the music and animations. I can tell you put a lot of effort in, with details like the ending scene. Great job!

Developer

Happy to hear you liked the music, and it was fun making a few animations
