This was an amazing game! I loved playing it so much. The adaptive music was also awesome to listen to lol :)

In This Economy!?This was a great take on the theme! Very frantic and fun. I love how simple the core mechanic is, and yet how tense the gameplay gets. I also love the variety, in that sometimes the spin helps you and everything feels great, and other times you have to really fight the spin. Are those random, or are you intentionally mixing them up so that sometimes the spin helps and sometimes it hurts?
The graphics and sound design are also top-notch, making for a really polished experience. The frosting itself has a nice look to it (and I love the glossy look of everything). My boss yelling at me for a particularly-bad cake is also a nice touch :)
I like games like this that just take a simple, fun idea and execute it well without trying to pile a bunch of extra stuff on top of it. Amazing job!

GyreGlad you liked it~ When we played the game, we decided to added breakcore-ish music so we can nailed the feeling of being Serious (aka LOCKING IN). Luckily, we have a very talented composer (Glaze_xdd) that can provide such an amazing piece that sticks. We also implemented the Leaderboard as a way to beat each other and other players from the Game Jam (happy that it works out).
And, thanks for playing our game!
I love the fast paced gameplay and the highscore too because we all love competitions, and the music it suits the gamplay so well

Keep The Wheels TurningVery fun! I don't know why, but it kinda give me a feeling of the game from switch or something like that. Probably because of the soundtrack and gameplay vibe, and I really like that loading screen. It's simple but fun to look at. Good job!

Chaired inc.I don't have a Wii, but I wish I had one and this game was on it. For me, it's perfect at what it sets out to be! The visuals and audio are impeccable, and the gameplay is very, very fun. Never in my life have I been so nervous to see a straight line

Spin Delivery Co.Very fun!! Reminds me of the old baking games I'd play when I was younger!!!!

Don't Bee Late!I felt the anxiety I felt as a child trying to complete flash games on the family computer.
I really like the pace of the game and the overall mechanic, plus the visual style is really nice, it has some "evil cake corporate" vibes that I thoroughly enjoy. the icing mechanic felt accurate to my mouse movement.
would love to see added mechanics if you want to make this a full game, maybe sprinkles? different speeds for frenzy mode? keep it up :)
