It's very weird to me that the game is played with the mouse but the menu only works with the keyboard.
Good job.
Edit: I forgot to mention, The font looks nice, but when it is small and the text includes a lot of characters it becomes a little hard to read for me (I did like the references/jokes in the food descriptions though!)
@dmtroy good point. I had it as keyboard input because you can actually move and play around with the food in the background in the main menu, but keeping consistent input is probably for the better.
@polyducks thank you! you can actually slow down the rate of rotation by holding down the Shift key while rotating.
@smouch haha yea the last 2 levels are pretty hard. The key to the pie level is leaning the eggs against each other.
@karmafarm I don't know how far you played but in the later levels delicate food is introduced and you have to make sure to keep the delicates safe during the duration of the timer. And yea the bag also has pixel perfect collisions but there's a lot more room in the bag than in the fridge so you just have to shift things around which was intended.
@rend yea I tried to make the groceries different and realistic to how they would actually behave i.e. bread gets squished if you put too much weight on it but it can survive impacts very well while eggs can take on more weight but are weak to impact.
