Nice game, I played for a little while, almost in a trance lmao. I was desperate to try and get 0.00 but the closest I got was -0.06. The upgrade system is a nice touch, good work!

I do love these 'count down the timer in your head' games. The music really threw me off because of the tempo, I kept counting the beat of the music instead of the seconds of the microwave. I had to turn down the sound and really concentrate and then I was starting to hit things properly (within 0.2-0.5 seconds).  Very cozy and relaxing, and fun to see the multipliers go up as well. I'm not sure what I have for feedback other than maybe adding the items to the store you can feed to him, or have a timer start on the microwave to give you 2 second countdown to give you that timing vs the music, then have that go away after you get one or two right. Anyway, great job!

Super super cute and fun. The microwave mechanic is surprisingly fun and satisfying but I think where this game truly excels is the vibe. The setting of sitting besides a hungry cat next to a microwave and making it food at night while it rains and listing to chill music is just really great, and I also love all of the things like the subtle noise and the bloom look really nice.  Yea super cute fun game
