Alot of fun, the music and graphics went well together; if I was detected I always tried to run to the exit door to escape and find myself locked in like a rat in a trap.

Sorry what two themes were you combining? I liked the game, small and simple and still fun; your truck could rotate left/right slighty to match your movements and if you continue to develop it, consider having yellow/red hotdogs (ketchup / mustard) that you toggle between using e.g. 1 + 2 to shoot at yellow/red customers for bonus score. The camera zoom when you stopped moving felt bad; try putting your truck on auto drive forward so you only need A+D+Shift for driving controls. I'd like to play more if it gets polished - gj.
@Ryan Michaels I read it; I'm glad you had fun learning in Unity, you did good considering your irl obligations
Hey Wave, cheers for the feedback, I know there are a lack of instructions in the game; if you need any specific help or advice just ask me directly and I'll help best I can.
Baking the Cake and taking raw ingredients to the exit are optional score bonuses and act as a difficulty modifier for the player if you want to get top score; we tried it where you had to make the perfect cake to complete the level and it felt restrictive (I've scurried through the exit door without collecting all additional food tokens more than a few times when the cats were chasing me).
Quick rundown for anyone interested;
1. To complete a level you just need to run to the exit. 2. Additional score is given for taking food to the exit. 3. Cooking only the ingredients shown in the top left corner recipe at the cooking station will reward you with the perfect pink cake. 4. Cooking stations have a minimum ingredient amount (usually 3+) before you can start baking your cake. 5. The maximum score for any level is a perfect pink cake + all extra raw ingredients collected + all rats alive + reaching the exit ASAP. 6. The music is catchy as hell.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks Vovin, that was the intention :P
@ctran13 the spiking difficulty was intentional due to the lack of levels / content to give some replayability / challenge for players. Our level designer had alot of fun making the final level (and he managed to clear it with all Rats + perfect cake with ~30 seconds to spare so they are doable)
@sndr Thank you, I tried your game and it was delightful, you went a similar approach but had a lovely polished little game
