Pretty solid! Having to make decisions about "am I going to chop off my arm for this valuable steak? But then I'll lose my ability to chop salads" was really fun!
The action curve was a bit all over the place. There were moments where a ton of things were happening, and others where I was just waiting around. That may be what it's like working in a restaurant, but as a game it's not as fun. ;)
I'd recommend adding a few extra non-limb options, and make the frequency of orders just a little bit more. Additionally making the money more prominent would be good as well. On the whole, a really good job ya'll!
The general premise of the game is really funny to me! I liked the decisions I had to make. Overall a pretty meaty game. Maybe make it a bit more fast-paced and maybe mix up the way you have to "fry" the chicken.

That was a very fun game! I wish the idea of losing limbs having consequences was expanded a bit more. But it was really fun having no arms and just imagining myself slamming my head into a salad to mash it up! Well Done!

Gnarly! It would have been nice if the game sped up in the later levels- it was quite easy to reach the end, and levels started to drag a little when there were no orders to take.

Fun idea and fun to play! Just needs a bit of balancing and more variety.
Was pretty cool. Liked that whole chopping my own limbs off thing. Also the humour in the news updates between days was really fun. I would argue that it would be more fun as a game if the orders came thicker and faster, as I sometimes spent quite a bit of time waiting around. Either way was a cool game, good job.
It was fun to play! The idea is innovative and you must think what you chop off. Good work!
I agree that the time between orders was a bit much. The UI was also off for me - playing it in windowed mode, the news went off the sides of the screen so I couldn't read all of it, and the time and money were both too small to easily read. Also, I think it might have helped to have the values of each meal, especially the steaks, so you know how to prioritize for money. And it needs feedback on the spicing of the steak, because I was never sure if it had registered what I'd tried to put on. But aside from those, it's a great game! I loved the humor of it, and the background felt like a grubby cannibal kitchen for sure.
Wow. This is a really excellent interpretation of the theme! I think the music in the background both worked as something to keep you energized throughout the game, and it added to the creepy atmosphere. All the mini games were "fun enough" to keep you invested, and I liked how you had to weigh your options between serving a steak and chopping off an arm or losing $20. The art could use a little work, but that's pretty forgivable for a jam. Great job!

I like the game. The minigames work well. I had a few points were no orders spawned for like 15-20 seconds

Pretty fun! My favorite minigame is the chicken one. I just wish the orders came in a little faster at first.

A real fun idea ! I think more orders can come because, sometimes, we just wait haha And the choice of giving "steak" or not is really fun !
And for steaks, if we can see where we put pepper or something else, it would be great, because I wasn't sure if I added things or not x)
But it's a good entry !
