What genre do you think the game is?
Probably a party game.
How fun is the game on a scale of 1-5?
Quite fun. I spent quite some time just messing around
How balanced is the difficulty on a scale of 1-5?
I think the difficulty is too high. Whenever I got more than 10 secs I feel like it was more due to luck than skill. Thought that's not necessarily a bad thing for party games.
You can only control the board to move the ingredients. But jumping to avoid the hose will require movements that would send the ingredients falling. Perhaps that could use some balancing. You could add some anticipation/predictability by stopping the hose movement to foreshadow that it's gonna shoot.
Is power-up collection clear and enjoyable?
It wasn't clear what the powerups did or how to use them.
Would you replay the level to improve your time score?
Maybe for a bit. But I'm typically the type to never bother with highscores.
What one change would improve the game most?
Maybe adding lives so that you aren't killed immediately after a mistake. Could also be a powerup
Other notes:
Artstyle is nice and goofy. A good fit for the game.
I guess this is unrelated but I would play a bullet hell/bossrush game with each stage being a cooking step. The hose/ chopping knife combo would make for a fun attack pattern in a game with more precise controls.
Overall, good job. I think it has potential as a party game if you work out the issues.
