Fun style, I liked the main character animation and the style of the bosses. I did get stuck though on the second boss (saw the note about having exactly 3, but the smoothie maker wouldn’t make any more smoothies for me, and also it seemed like even when it was my strawberries were capped at 10 after several boss retries). I also felt like the second boss was more determined based on the slowness or position of the platform, making it less about my skill to complete since I depended on that to “deliver” the smoothie.

yes the 2nd boss level design is a very very interesting one. First off fun fact the 2nd boss level is based on my first idea of the game I had in mind when I started this jam...I failed my first idea of the game and scrapped it...and after a few more failed idea that I tried on the last 5 days of the jam I had the idea where the game you are now playing. I wanted in some form or fashion put in that cooking game element that I worked hard on for the first 20 days, but failed. I quickly put in that element into the game and realized that I still couldn't figure out certain things, so I settled for a cheap platform solution to fed the boss. Trust me I didn't want to go that path, but there was so much more stuff I needed to work on so I had to settle on that. Plus I forgot to fix the bugs on the door.
Yeah I totally get it, nimble solutions to make it work in the timeframe you’ve got! Given you had one direction and then had to switch to another, I think it’s commendable that it didn’t come through in the gameplay - and what I mean, is it stands on its own, it wasn’t too counterintuitive what to do (little bugs like equals 3 aside, can’t catch everything!). I was pretty stressed in the last couple days myself as I had to reimplement a core mechanic that if broken would have rendered the whole thing useless.
Not sure if you count this as a win, but you did inspire me to make a chocolate smoothie which I just finished drinking not too long ago :D
