How does your game fit the theme?
You are counting down the cost of the buffet until you can make a profit with a limited amount of room in your stomach. Can you beat the entrance fee of the buffet before you have no room left? The claw is also on a count down 草草草.

Precious art style, I think the game was a little to simple, maybe it could be like you have to get certain food on a given order, like some orders are coming to the kitchen, and you have to select the correct ones.
I think I broke the game! At some point both my money and my hunger went negative and kept going lower, not sure if that was supposed to happen. Cute style and sound design.
Those penguin chefs are so damn cute! Spending all your money while avoiding a full stomach is a really creative use of the theme. Had some trouble figuring out what the goal of the game was but after a couple of tries I got it. The values of the foods were not always obvious, I first assumed smaller items would make me less full so they would be the best options.
Beautiful art and scene, a really unique interpretation of the theme although it's pretty easy to win right now. A really cute game overall.
Had really good sound effects and the art was cool!
I was a bit confused why the claw kept dropping food after picking it up.
The art is great! I also really appreciate that you fit the theme without making a game about time! (I am hungery now)
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
cute! a bit confusing upon starting bc it's so quick (not sure if foods have diff costs, etc.) but love the concept! amazing job and congrats on ur first jam :)
Interesting game!
Not sure if this was intended, or if the instructions were wrong, but I was able to move the claw up and down, not just left and right. This seems to make the timer on the claw inaccurate.
I also found it funny how the button jokes about there not being time for proper UI haha.
Very creative take on the theme!
Thanks! Haha, I had removed the up and down keys that we used for testing but it must have not made the final upload...
