Overview: A barbecue simulator created for the Ludum Dare 35 Game Jam! The goal of the game is to grill steaks, but watch out, annoying flies will ruin the steaks if you don't pay attention!

Credits: Programming: Henry de Jongh Models & Music: Joakim Lövgren Ketchup: Denise Böhm
Goal: The goal of the game is to grill steaks between 90-110% and then place them on the plate. Depending on the quality of the grilled steaks your score will increase. Flies will come and ruin your dinner so squash them with your spatula before they ruin your steaks!
Theme: The meat changes shape and texture while grilling.
Very nice! A little hard to play on a laptop with a trackpad, but I did manage to get some steaks on the grill. I also knocked over the radio and dropped a few steaks on the floor! Well done (pun intended!)
Cool to enjoy a nice bbq after i missed one on the weekend because of LD35. funny physics and pretty good sound - maybe you need more atmo like birds, wind and waves.
Very entertaining. Had 8 steaks on the grill at once. Dropped one on the ground, picked it up to put it back on the grill, sent ALL of the steaks flying into the abyss. 10/10 would throw steaks on the ground again.
Great game! I thought I had it sorted when the steak was cooked to perfection - but then I discovered that there is an endless supply of steak to cook..
I'm not sure how shapeshifting fits in (steaks being caramelized?), but still great nevertheless.
On my first try, I somehow ended up having the steak I was holding start spinning out of control, knocked over the table, and a pile of steaks started rapidly spawning onto the ground, haha!! This is pretty fun, although the controls are a bit hard to handle.
That was my reaction when the physics bugged out. Cute idea, really nice graphics and music (and steak sound). I never quite understood how the fly mechanic worked.
Basically, do you remember Jurassic Park: Tresspasser? firstly somebody needs to remake that, and secondly this reminded me of it. First person grab physics are really not something that anybody has figured out, and I think that there is value in doing so.
I like the mood of this game however, I did not like the physics in this game. Also the game was a little dark. Love the sunset and the grilled textures, though.
Nice lighthearted calming game! I liked that all the objects reacted to physics, felt more lifelike. I did however accidentally set a steak perfectly vertical and it spazzed, shot out and knocked over a chair. hah. I laughed. Cool game!
Pretty fun as it stands! Had a few issues wit physics like a steak that went wild, but overall pretty good use of them. I love the setting and the music fit perfectly! Also, the heat coming off the grill was awesome.
The steak still clean after drop it on the ground... Well same thing in real life! I wonder where my meat went after cooking it lol. I think it flew through the sea!
Seems to fit all the requirements of a "simulator" game(seemingly mundane task, buggy physics that make you laugh etc.) but I like how the steak gradually changes from raw to cooked (which is where the theme points come in) and overall the game was pretty fun and enjoyable to play.

Well done!
......... phrasing.
I wish there was a negative penalty, like I am Bread. The steaks were perfectly fine after I threw them on the ground!
