Perfectly executes the limitation of the jam, whilst it may be hard initially due to a learning curve or discovering the location of things around you, I feel this was executed very well. Moving the camera little further out so you could see more around you could help. Art looked great! :)

Thanks! and thanks for playing. Your one of the only people who didnt complain of how long it was LOL.

I know, its quite hard.

Dramatically hard game to play in jam.
The game does not forgive the slightest mistakes and does not give a chance for learning.
Cooking distance is too low, so there are only a few tables around me, 
and there is no way to use the hook or run when tables are next to each other. 
Developer(+1)

the cooking distance is intentional. So is the difficulty. However I did plan to add an interactive tutorial and a way to move away objects (instead if you press right click in the wheelchair, all appliances moved away which was planned to be temporary) but I had bitten off more than I can chew. Thanks for the detailed advice. I'll try to make something more simple next jam.

I like alternative game ideas. Cool concept.

Developer

thanks for playing!

Man is this hard lol 

I like the concept, especially the grappling hook mechanic, but I feel like giving the player a tiny bit more mobility would do wonders.

thanks for playing, i'd say just increasing the health would work better

I felt like it was pretty difficult and a bit all over the place, but I really enjoyed the grappling hook especially, and I thought the idea was interesting.

thanks, I wanted it hard, but I didn't intend for it to be the kind of hard where you just want to stop playing (watched your stream).  I should have mentioned somewhere  in the instructions: "before you put food on the plate, combine your food at the empty Prep appliance" Which I will now. You playing has given me a real eye opener, thanks for playing!

Great Art. The player move slow. It's a realistic mechanic. Good Job. :)

Developer

thanks for playing

The grappling tool is best part of the game, I feel like I could enjoy the game more if it wasn't very difficult.
Map was too large, so I couldn't see and know where to go and issue is I can't make fullscreen because if I do then click `ESC` then I leave FullScreen(I'd advice to change the `ESC` button)

I do find the concept of the game very interesting and if balance I would have more fun in it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, maybe I could add some sort of easy mode... Thanks for playing!

You don't lie saying it's a difficult game! I really like the idea of bringing the appliances with a grapling hook, interesting concept and great use of the limitation. Good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! two things, firstly did you find any bugs? Secondly is there anyway of improving the game (instead of the obvious e.g. new food)? 

Thanks again!

Submitted(+1)

Firstly: I did not find any bugs. Secondly: I think a tutorial would make the game much more approachable. It might even be a simple checklist in the top left corner telling the player in which order to prepare the food etc. 

Hope that helped!

Developer

yea, its a real eye opener, I was planning on adding a recipe book (which was practically a tutorial) however i didnt get to fit it into my scope.  Thanks again and again for playing
