MAJOR PASSION: STAYING ALIVE omg lolol. I cannot relate, but that's amazing 😅🤣 

This is a really cute, sweet game. Fantastic for teaching someone who has never played a TTRPG, or for kids. Not because it's childish, but because the energy and humor throughout are perfect for grabbing a kid's attention :D The example is especially adorable, I LOVED "At least we are trapped together." That was precious as heck. And repeating the "Pinky broke time... Again." paragraph was clever.

If there was still a "humor" rating, this would easily get a 5. Just sayin.

This game needs some polish but overall it looks like a fun concept! I'm not super familiar with the MLP universe but the character descriptions seem to cover all that is needed. The dice mechanics seem straightforward enough, a solid system. However, the cooking aspect of the game is a little lacking. The example of play was cute but the rules didn't really explain how characters would find ingredients, or make the sorbet. The timer aspect is intriguing! An external restriction that makes players think on their feet is very interesting.

Super stripped down rule set, but a beginner group is better off without too many rules anyway, though I think an experienced player would still need to be on hand to show them the ropes. I like how some skills are shared and some skills are wildly idiosyncratic. I'm not sure what I think about the roll results chart. Including success on a very low roll is an interesting choice that works well with the dice mechanic, but my sense of aesthetics likes results a little cleaner than that. I'd have to get a chance to play with it before I make up my mind.

This is nicely beginner friendly, a good introduction to role-playing for those unfamiliar. I can see a lot of variability since a lot depends on who's playing and their imagination.

I think this game would be really good to introduce people to ttrpg, the explanation is very nice and understandable! (Actually I’m still learning about the improvising part of this type of game, so I’m really thankful for the examples!) I think it’s interesting you get to control two characters, and the countdown of the time breaking is good to keep the tension of the situation! If I would say something, it would be nice to have a little context of the world they live in or who they are, I think it’s based on My Little Pony? I think it would help the immersion more (at least for me!) Nice game you have here, good work ✨✨
