just want to say after rating's finished that since both of us played Head Chef, my partner and I have been memeing "to get the perfect omelette rice out to the customer" at each other, which qualifies this game for my personal GMTK Game Jam Prize for Greatest Impact on Personal Interactions :)

this absolutely rules and should be a full game, it has Parseword/cryptic crossword vibes in the sense of having a limited amount of operations that you need to recognise and correctly order
I almost feel like it wants to hint at its solving word rather than just giving it, closer to a cryptic. dunno how you'd implement that but would add another satisfying layer. maybe an image in a new tab/hinting at solution length?
No worries, it happens! Guess it's more of a hang than a softlock as I could still control the camera but not do anything else. I wasn't able to replicate it, but it was during a run after both Susans had collided but before a failstate and outside the setup phase, so the Retry button wasn't present. This game is great though, like an Overcooked solitaire. GO SUSAN
In the absence of remappable controls, probably lateral movement on A+D/left-right with an auto-dash or auto-jump up on W/up that steers with the lateral controls, and the other option of jump/dash on both Shift keys or Q so it can be played one-handed? Just thinking out loud though.
I think what got me is feeling like W should Go Up, but the most up-going is dashing and you want to be doing a lot of dashing. So it feels like you're presented with 3 options for Up, one of which you're never gonna use.
