Had a very simple and silly idea, and ran with it. Was able to make it quickly due to no outside interruptions (mostly). Self explanatory game once you start clicking on it.foodcut.jpg

How to play:

*Click/Touch the page to make a cut. If the cut lands in the white-highlighted area, you get a point. Otherwise, the game resets.*

*Clicking/Touching the music note in the top right corner toggles the music.*

I was playing this last night before the compo officially ended. Simple but effective. I agree with @cryptic-wasp - definitely addicting. My girlfriend thought the goal was to give them haircuts. I don't know if that's what you were going for but I love that as the "story". Now to go give some more haircuts. :v:

This is amazing. The faces and sounds are so charming, and the pacing is great. The voice effects are perfect. Nice job making something simple but thoroughly enjoyable.

I adore the "nice cut!" and "oh no!"'s. Cute, humorous and addictive!

Ha ha, very nice. I loved the "nice cut" sounds and the face expressions of the vegetables.

So cute! Loved the music and the voice reactions.
Wish maybe there was more visual distinction for the section to be clicked on... and the broccoli is much harder than the other foods & needs a nerf >:)
Awesome concept!

Simple fun little game! I'd say, one thing that might be worth considering is that I can wait for how many passes of the line I like before I attempt the cut and the game might be a bit more interesting if one gets a bonus for cutting on the first pass, or cutting on the first pass several times in a row might trigger a fantastic cut. Perhaps if one doesn't cut on any of the first three passes it's a fail too.

@mark-winter Actually, the broccoli has the same difficulty as the other fruits. It just has a smaller window, so the line moves slower as well. The line movement and the window to fit into are defined as ratios instead of hard-coded values. The actual implementation has the window be 1/3 of the full movement of the line. Glad you liked the game.

@local-minimum That is a good point, having a bonus for doing a successful cut sooner would be nice. Thanks for the comment.
