Horror cooking game is a strange mix but you managed to make it work! My favourite part of this is the ambience, the low tones of kitchen appliances and the tick of the clock. Creepy all by itself! I don't know if I buy the horror of the eyes too much, I didn't find them especially scary nor creepy, but I appreciate that this is a jam game and it's a little hard to do, especially since you did all the cooking mechanics as well! Nice entry :)

Yo, this game is fire! It feels really good to play and feels very complete.

I was tense while playing the game. Making burgers was simple and engaging. The timer and the eyes created a really unpleasant experience in the best possible way.

I really liked how the eyes worked. I felt a bit paranoid about them. I thought they were in some places, but they actually weren't — it was just my imagination.

The art is great, and the atmosphere is a banger. You really nailed the lighting. The sound design was also excellent.

It's quite hard for me to find things that could be improved. It's practically perfect. Okay, I have one thing: I feel like the eyes could be a bit more unpredictable. After playing for a while, I started to feel like they couldn't really hurt me.

That was a really great experience. I was tense and engaged throughout, and I can totally see this becoming something bigger that could be sold on Steam. It's one of the best games I've played during this jam.

Great job!

This is one of the better horror games this jam. for an idea that isnt exactly unique, The atmosphere and tension is executed beautifully! The idea of eyes being the main antagonist is a great highlight too. Great job!

Note to self, don't play horror game entries in the middle of the night! Amazing work with this, the whole tone and atmosphere were super unnerving. I want to echo what others have said and say that I would love to see even more from this after the jam ends!

Cool game! The atmosphere is really good and the sounds are simple but do the job nicely.  Like someone said later in the comments, I could absolutely see this in a 3 scary games. Good work :)

Fun game, working over night is already making me anxious, but the eyes really kill me :D

This is a really fun and scary game. I like how there's no official "tutorial" and you're just thrust right into it with a vague idea of what you're supposed to do. The combination of needing to make burgers on time but also destroy the eyes leads to some interesting gameplay, where sometimes you can get tunnel vision on the burgers and forget the eyes are even there until the screen starts turning red. I also really liked the fast and somewhat slippery movement, because it let me be efficient and zip back and forth for ingredients very easily. For some feedback, I think it would've been nice to have the ingredients be shaped differently, since in the dark lighting they can all often look like the same ingredient and I would get confused sometimes and mess up an order. Overall though, this was a really fun horror game with a great sense of atmosphere and gameplay. Good work!

I could genuinely see this as a longer project, maybe sum you'd see in them 3 horror games videos on YouTube
