Fits in well with the theme. Pixel art is great. Loved how over the top your attacks were!

I really enjoyed the fact that you had different types of attacks and that you really had to pay attention to what you were going to shoot next.  There was one level (the pork buns level) where I was pretty confused as to what I needed to do, but I managed to figure it out without you explicitly telling me.  Some of the level felt like I won without trying much, mostly just pure luck that I was able to finish, and finish with even high score than the level required.  The character felt most of the time out of control and it was rather difficult to line up shots.  I feel like if you had an reticule or aim indicator, it would go a long way to making the game feel better.  Also if you had slightly more control over the character, it would allow you to make the levels more difficult and interesting.  Overall I was delighted to experience this as each level seemed to introduce some new way to shoot the crap out of unsuspecting foodstuffs.  The art was fantastic and really gave me some expectations that were immediately broken by the initial gameplay - namely that you are a cook who's completely insane.  Very fun overall, slightly too short to really sink my teeth into, but I was almost never frustrated.  I would like to see this game continued as it would make a really fun time waster for mobile.  Thanks for sharing your game with me and I look forward to your next LD!"},{"author_name":"pht59x","author_uid":"36239","time":"Dec 26, 2014 @ 11:05am","epoch":1419591600,"text":"I kept pressing randomly the space bar and I won several levels through!
