Awesome that it was done for 48 hour compo too! I don't think I have ever played a game where I had to get a single use weapon every time I wanted to fight back. Pretty cool mechanic. This really made me have to work to destroy the enemies instead of just blast them or jump on them or something. Instead I was navigating around the enemies trying to grab the fork and then making sure not to waste it by missing. The multiplier and throwing multiple utensils was pretty cool, but I wish it was based on number of uses instead of on a timer, like I get one or two good uses of it when I want, rather than have a time limit on using it, mostly because it still consumes your utensils and it was hard to get it where I had enough utensils, enough time, and enough monsters around to make it worth it. I was also a little bit confused why some guys didn't die in one hit. I think it had to do with the different types of utensils, which is what the shifting them was for, but I couldn't figure out the difference between which badguys required spoons and which ones needed knives (I thought they were all just purple scorpions). Fullscreen mode redrew the screen without the floor tiles for some reason. Great music and art too btw!"},{"author_name":"jangler","author_uid":"47063","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 2:44am","epoch":1418351940,"text":"Thanks for the in-depth feedback! I had wondered if people would figure out the utensils. I intentionally left them unexplained. Forks and knives are deadly, and knives can pass through and hit multiple enemies, but spoons are inert (unless you have a certain power-up)."},{"author_name":"Dexyne","author_uid":"30048","time":"Dec 12, 2014 @ 9:19pm","epoch":1418418840,"text":"Interesting game, good audio, graphics and the engine run well.\rMoving blocks to make the level is interesting and respect the theme.\r\rSo, well done!"},{"author_name":"Mr.Greenhat","author_uid":"24869","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 12:41am","epoch":1418430960,"text":"Gameplay feels solid!
