This is a pretty unique idea and fits with the "you are a resource" theme perfectly! The overall gameplay loop is short but is still fun for a while. The tutorial sequence and sound are also nice touches.
Thanks for the feedback!
While the gameplay is somewhat repetitive, I thought that this was a pretty well polished experience and jam game. I thought that you fit the theme pretty creatively with the shapeshifting chef and I really liked the small details (blender animation and sounds, running animations, powerup noises, etc.).
One thing I didn't like too much was that fact that sometimes it was possible for a run to end while you are waiting for the right kind of fruit to spawn. No big complaints otherwise though.
Cool game!
Thanks orbital rock! Glad you liked it! You're totally right about the fact that runs could end beyond your control, that was one of my biggest worries in testing. If I choose to go back to this game that's definitely the first thing id go back to fix.
