This silly little game is so fun to play. The whole concept is just brilliant. Love the music too.

Good work.

We had a lot of fun testing your game during our live stream today, here is a link to the video archive if you missed it or wish to check again:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoMEaPCVoCU&t=4430s

Very fun game and super polished! It took us some time to understand the goals. It would really help to be able to control the shield with the mouse. Good Job!

Thanks for playing! Unfortunately we ran out of time to implement more foods and specific percentage for each food, so in its current state just getting to about 50% on each bar is enough to have a perfect burger.
Also having mouse control is a great suggestion! We'll probably add it along with fixing some of those physics glitches if we decide to work on it after the jam.

Btw great stream! Unfortunately I couldn't watch the stream live tonight.

Thanks! What you achieved in 48h is already impressive, about the "more foods": we just liked the game a lot and wanted to play more but 2 option is already a great start. It's good to know for the 50%, I'll go try to make the perfect burger.

Very well-polished game! The gameplay is simple but is implemented in a very original way and fits the story perfectly. Played several runs to see all endings and it was still quite fun. Amazing how the gameplay, art and sound all fit together nicely even though you have no art and music people in the team (at least not mentioned in the credits). You managed to create a great consistent mood from open source pieces which is pretty impressive! And the camera play and animations are really nice. I really had a feeling of a complete finished game. Great job!

Glad you liked it! We did use premade assets for sounds/music and most of the art, but the UI elements were made during the jam.
Thank you for playing and great feedback!

And that's why I never use microwaves. Robot crab arms? Eyes? I'd rather not invent a time-travelling machine either. 
The game was immensly fun to play, I loved the graphics, music and gameplay :D

Developer

i find it pretty cool you don't use microwaves, I'm glad this game reinforced your ideas haha

If my burger ever starts growing crab parts in throwing in a few metal utensils.

This reminds me of mobile games, the few good ones of course.

Developer

i appreciate your feedback : )

I really like the concept and gameplay. The Graphics and Audio are amazing. The only thing i didn't like is that the shield is a bit far from the food and it's a bit cramped.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, yeah we did very little testing, and i would agree, the shield could be adjusted better. Thanks : )

I enjoyed the burger mode, I made a perfect crabby patty! 

The instructions made it difficult to tell when a burger was well cooked vs burnt but a couple playthroughs let me discover it for myself.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, and I'm glad that you were able to figure that out. Enjoy your crabby patty : )

What a fun and original game! Looks and sounds fantastic and is very well polished.

Developer

thanks, our goal was was to focus on polish

Super simple fun! Played this for a while. The menu is super inspired and alongside the particle effects, the game feels really polished. As mentioned in previous comments, it's currently a tad colorblind unfriendly, but that could easily be changed! Would love to see more levels and unique assets in the future : D

Developer

Yes! simple yet polished was exactly what we were going for, we are glad you found this game to be both. And yes, we should definitely have colorblind mode, but this was only a 2 day jam so we had little time. Thank you

A ton of fun to play, and I love how your strategy changes over the course of the cooking time.

The red and green mechanic is really colorblind-unfriendly though, especially once things start to get heated and there's a ton of action on screen. A minor issue in an otherwise great game.

Developer

I agree that we should have thought about a colorblind mode, but this was a weekend jam, so we only had 2 days to make the game. If we had more time then we would definitely implement that feature. But we are excited that you enjoyed our game!
