How does the game fit the theme?
You go through an interview to be a kitchen assistant in an adorable kitchen run by a nice cat. What could possibly go wrong ? Nothing right ?

How I played:
I cut 1 finger off early, which made me understand how the game works. Then I got hired without losing any more fingers. For the 100000000 surimi order, I let the time run out once. Then I chopped all my fingers off. I thought: "What else am I supposed to do now? I guess that was all." Pressed esc to quit the game, and got quite surprised! Good job!
My thoughts:
The visuals and sounds are really nice. I think getting hired takes too long, I almost quit the game before that. The disclaimer at the start ruins the initial surprise a bit, but it's understandable that you don't want to bait people into a cute game which then turns into self mutilation lul. The game really makes you think it's one of those games that only has 1 simple gameplay mechanic, and that's all. But the surprise when quitting the game was a well done twist.
Loved the feeling I had when I wanted to speed up and cutted my finger. Well done!
I think the game could have increased it's difficulty more and the movement of the roll could need some tiny acceleration at the beginning (it seem to be a linear speed) to make easier to do tiny distances.
Really good job, I will remember this game.
EDIT: I come back from the game, I just did echap to quit the game. Brillant.
Thank you very much for the feedback !
It's indeed a linear speed and you're right, some acceleration would have helped ^^
And I'm really glad you quit using Escape, so many people don't see it 😊
A “kawaii” game indeed, nothing is cuter than cutting your own fingers! Great visuals and polished player feedback with a super simple gameplay loop!
Yess I got hired! I was so surprised and shocked when I accidentally cut my own fingers off. And the mood change was conveyed really good, by the visuals and the sound. And then it got even more grim when I tried to leave. I really liked how you conveyed that story integrated in the gameplay. Good job :)
Fun game!
Excellent visually and audio. A simple yet fun game
Oh damg! That hurt! The first time i cut my self it was such a painful surprise. Then the game became so much more tense. I love how a mechanic so simple can be so fun, but then suddenly the stakes get pushed much higher because of a player's mistake, instead of through more instructions from the game. And the "reminders" of your mistakes that stay on screen, simply brilliant! Music and visuls go perfectly with the whole experiance too. Best game I've played this jam so far. Well done!
( you also had a very interesting game last jam, where you play as a blind person on a storm; I remember it well)
Would much appreciate it if you can check out my game too and give me some feedback on it. Cheers.
Thank you very much for the review !
Oh you remember me, I'm so touched ^^ I remember your game too ! I see you made a sequel for this jam, I will definitely check it out :D
Did you see the final scene with the handcuff by the way ?
No i didn't! Once i get hired, and the slice count becomes 1 billion, i just kept failing and nothing else was changing, no matter what I tried. So I thought that was the end. How do you get the final scene?
Once you are hired you can try to quit the game using the Escape button and then you have the final scene ^^
I'm a bit sad because I am pretty proud of the ending twist I found. Unfortunately people don't use the intended way to quit the game when playing on the browser 😅
Ah that's so cool and disturbing. Just played it. Having to do that to yourself :_( very tough and I love it!
But i know what you mean about the frustration when people don't play the game how you intend and they end up missing stuff. The problem also with the browser is that I had to press escape twice to get him to ask if I wanna quit. Because I was playing the game in fullscreen mode, pressing escape once gets you out of fullscreen and that's it. By then you can just press the back button on your browser or just close the tab...
You're right, I should have found another way to add this feature ^^'
Graet simple mechanic, a bit short in therm of gameplay but was fun, good job !
Woa i wasn't expected that i can cut my own hand ! Really beautiful game i love the simple mechanics, next time i will play it with sound ( i'm sorry for that)
Really fun! Love the bait and switch with the art style and the sudden gore!
The mechanic was also very addictive seeing me chop away a high score for a while.
The art and design are all really great :)
Great looking visuals which tricked me into thinking it was a cute, wholesome game...but I was wrong! That cat is brutal, giving an impossible task after passing the interview. Honestly though, what a creative way for players who want to chase a high score! I really enjoyed the game, well done and good luck!
This game is so much fun! Well-polished with good sound design. Bravo ! :)
after careful consideration, I would like to revoke my job application as I realize this job is more hands-off than I thought.
Wow cool, reminds me of the old flash cooking games haha
Short but well-crafted and memorable game! Horrifyingly fun
I became the fastest surimi cutter only to realize that the "cute" cat that hired me is not that innocent 😱
I enjoyed it haha 👍
Nice idea. The special mechanic made laugh out loud for at least 5 minutes :D
I certainly didn't expect that. Maybe it's a bit easy to start, also it's not very clear what is to short or to long, after a while you get a feeling for it but yeah.
Overall a nice and fun experience!
Tho i wasn't ready to go from cute game to horror really quickly
This feels like a horror game now xd
okay, this is funny! I just looked at the shadow and then it worked perfect :D Also tried losing more than fingers..muhahaha. Amazing game!
