Really fun! A interesting take on a cooking game. A scoring system or a time limit would probalby add alot. Right now you have no reason to not spam spacebar until you get it. Great work!

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Yeah, I agree with you about the scoring/timing. It would definitely help. At least when you spam spacebar you create a complete mess in a once pristine kitchen, which is in part of the fun :)

That was a really fun experience ! Putting the chili to the sauce pan was the difficult part, but that still stayed fun 🙂

I love games where I can just mess up the whole place, and you did a great job at it !

Throwing mechanic worked well after I figured how to use properly, but camera gave me some trouble. I was trying align it so I could get horizontal angle right and it would just slide just little off. Overall, minus the minor problems, gameplay was fun and interesting. Couple of times I managed to do the task but ingredient would still fall on the floor. That kind made me feel like I didn’t actually succeed. Visuals are simple and well done, style is just right. Overall feeling I got was bit sterile and empty, I wish there was more feeling of panic. Like someone earlier in comments suggested. Other cooks/chefs running in your way or some game mechanic to make player feel the urgency. Now I just had all the time in the world.

I really liked the concept. Took a whilst to figure it out and some keyboard options for aiming would have made things easier. Annoying bug: If you have your mouse over a button and press space it both fires the object and clicks the button, which meant that when I had my mouse over the decrease/increase power buttons it would do both. Multiple attempts kept getting weaker! Overall though, the concept is still great and it was fun so you get high marks.

Well done!
A nice game with good graphics and audio, really fun to play, and with a good level design.

A found some small bugs:
- if you finish the level and start again the music from the precedent game continue to play added with the new one
- I was unable to interact with button on the pause menu

This are minor bug and they don't stop me to have fun!

I realy like the oncept of this game, it's quite unique. I'm guessing it's a mix of golf and cooking genres?
I like, that there were no bugs in the game. The game was running quite smoothly. Maybe if you could add more levels... I could play more and have lots of fun because of your game so keep on going and maybe if you release your game, it might land on steam someday? Good job ;)

Don't have a Windows computer, but this seriously looks SO FUN. Would love to play! I'll have to borrow a friend's computer. Reading about it and looking at the pictures, the kitchen model looks great and looks like a fun game to play! Well done!

Hey @TayGoS, we have a MAC build up now if that helps? I forgot to update the page showing it. Sorry about that. I hope that helps!

The game looks really cool but unfortunately is laggy on my shitty laptop. Can't rate but thumbs up for the effort ;)

Hey there, the Mac build actually doesn't run. It says the file cannot be opened.

@jacklehamster, thanks for letting us know. I will take the build down and have a look into the issue. Sorry about that :/

Extremely innovative idea! I had a lot of fun playing it. I am not sure if it is due to my shitty computer but rotation of the camera is a bit slow. Good job tho!

The idea is fun, and the graphics is pretty good, but it is really difficult to hit anything.
