*Note: I put this in the Jam, but it's a time-shifted Compo entry. I had to start one day late due to a family event, but otherwise this was done under compo ruleset. I worked alone and created everything in 48 hours from Sat 9p to Mon 9p.*
This is my first game with literal zero text, so I won't give instructions here.
Chef knows what he wants you to do:
You should be able to figure out the rest.
If you want to try for a perfect game, there is a secret feature: you can press 'R' to restart any time.

Notes on the development:
Almost didn't do an entry this time, with a schedule conflict, some travel, and a cold. Not one bit in the mood but I didn't want to break my streak so I forced it.
Shout out to @khaotom - his entry for LD52 had a very close-in camera and I enjoyed the worry about what was just out of view. Definitely an inspiration for this entry.
I felt pixel art wouldn't fit, so I used a new method this time: I hand-drew with the pencil tool in inkscape, but with the simplifier cranked way up. In the past when I used inkscape I built up from primitive shapes.
My favorite feature is when the Ghost taunts you after a steal. For 70% of the development, the ghost would instead insta-kill you on touch and it was total game over. If you want to see what that felt like, try for a perfect game.
