I really dig the theme of the game and the enviroment! It felt great wandering around the kitchen as a little gingerbread. Saddly the combat interrupted the exploration phase. Would be cool if you would see the encounters, but i know you wanted to got for the 90s vibe.
The combat would greatly benefit from descriptions, what each skills does.
Sadly i got stuck at the 3 level at the cans and could save myself out of there.
Overall good game and solid entry!
