    • “Challenging gameplay!”
    • “This game has huge potential for a game mechanic similar to Overcooked, just needs a few adjustments related to controller UX (my friends are experiencing control map reset every time they re-enter the game) and I also think it needs more level or character customization.”
    • “Despite some little bugs (dishes not delivered in order if the same dishes appear, dashing knocking walls, little movement bugs, etc.), it did not actually impact gameplay as much as other negative reviews suggest.”
    • “The mechanics that are under it are fine, but the controls can feel too slippery for their own good.”

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players enjoying its fun co-op dynamics and comedic elements reminiscent of "Overcooked." However, some critiques highlight unfunny combat mechanics and the use of insensitive tropes, which detract from the overall experience.

    • “It's fun and hilarious saying 'hoochooboo', with couch co-op craziness and a great twist on the cooking adventure genre. The powers change things up, and the challenge levels are a good distraction.”
    • “The humor falls flat, making the unengaging combat feel even more tedious.”
    • “The jokes are unfunny and rely too heavily on insensitive cannibal tropes.”
    • “The slippery controls only add to the frustration, as the humor fails to land.”
