Funnily enough, the ad that showed before me playing was a microwave dinner :P. The controls were a little frustrating, in particular the first micron in charge of turning the popcorn.

The music also fits the comedy mood.\n\nThe only problem are the controls, it feels like Superman 64 \"car\" controls :laughing:  \nIdk if it is part of the gameplay to make it harder or something like that, but it is really unnerving to control characters like that, haha.\n\nGood job, it is a lot in 3 days. Adjusting details like controls and difficulty (aka polishing) is always the part that takes longer and usually doesn't fit into a tiny window of a jam. :smiley:\n\nHeey.... Wait a minute...
