I liked the gameplay! It was challenging and engaging to try and guess how much volume I'd have to cut off to get the target weight--it was really neat. Drawing the lines with the mouse was cool, too.

I got to a point when I replayed the time trial where I wished the new cheese would fall faster so I could see the new weight earlier, rather than having to wait. I also sometimes struggled with the menu buttons; I think I needed to click directly on the text rather than being able to click the whole button?

I had fun!

Great game concept! I wish there were some instructions and easy access to the menu page.  I am impressed with your work!

pretty nice idea but the menu got some imprecisons and also is it just me or the score doesn't reset ?

Thanks for playing! Those are definitely known issues, I had to crunch a lot at the end to get it submitted on time so some stuff slipped through the cracks.
