I think that this game is really interesting - the idea of a more hectic cooking mama game has legs, mixing the likes of fast paced Wario-ware microgames with cooking themes can be very fun. The real issue i have with this game is that there's a lack of instructions - i'd say i'd fix it by either designing it to have more immediate controls or by having more clear instructions for what you have to do, maybe with instructions that only come up at the beginning of the recipe. There's also some problems with player feedback - don't leave the player too in the dark about whether they're doing things right or not. Otherwise, this game is very good, there's a lot of creativity with the theme, and with more elbow grease i could see something like this do fairly well as a full game.

the music made the cooking seem like a epic battle. but I learned that I can't cook very well in game.

I was trying really hard to flip my pancake  but then the game ran out of time and told me to flip then so was like okay then. So I was burning it at max trying to get it flipped before the time was up lol.  The vegetables and steak were a bit hard to figure out if they were cooking or not. And the poor cupcake killed it badly.

Loved the concept, especially as someone who likes to cook with dramatic videogame music in the background in real life as well. the art/animations for the cooking interface and the music came together well and felt quite dramatic. Personally I felt it needed more interactivity to give it a more tactile feel of cooking. Also I’m not sure if it was a bug, but I wasn’t able to check the cooked level of the dishes except the pancake. So for the stir fry I was just shaking it, and for the steak I was just staring at the timer. Maybe that’s why I got an A for Control each time though, so I ain’t complaining too much.

This game was great at giving me an overwhelming sense of anxiety, the music, having to wait for food to finish (that you didn't know for-sure if it was done or not!), checking the pancake every 2 seconds... High "Steaks" for sure!

On the technical side, I do feel that with the mouse being on the handle of the cooking thing - a little more vertical space would be handy. I would find that my cursor would go outside the viewport rather often. Also, reducing the time-scale of each level might be worthwhile thinking about - or having the choice to finish cooking each meal as in the souffle level. I feel like there wasn't a whole ton of stimulation during these long cooking times.

Generally, though, the feel of the game is cohesive. The VS screens are great at setting a somewhat-too-serious vibe from our protagonist chef.

Awesome game, Loved the music and the "vs" screen between each level. I liked the attention to detail for the cooking process. I'm curious how you "count" heat, for example would cooking something on 10 for 1 min be the same as cooking something on 5 for 2 min?

Very interesting game! I think a nice addition would be SFX when cooking the dishes (eg. sizzling sound for the steak and stir fry). Also I'm not sure why the heat tries to turn itself off after a while, I may be super terrible at cooking and getting the heat right though (I get F for heat for every dish)! 

Great use of theme, and an engaging sound track. I enjoyed tossing the stir fry but almost wish I could yeet the veg out of the pan if you get my drift?

If you majorly decrease the cooking time of each object I think you could have a great WarioWare style minigame, where you throw through different prepared stuff together, and however bad you messed up or succeeded you could see the result. Kind of like a comedic and rapid Cooking Mama.

I loved the music and the vegetable shaking a lot. I also think the game could be really fun but I never really knew wether I was doing the right thing. More clear indications would help a lot.
