To eat or to talk, the eternal question when dining with people you don't care much about. Now that's a human experience I'm all too familiar with, and I'm glad someone's able to capture it in an interactive format so we can all relive the awkwardness. I wouldn't recommend eating anything taken out of the hot pot when there's still raw meat in it though, no matter how hungry you are.

Really cute idea for a short arcade-style indie game. Felt like a boss you would find in Wario Ware. First level is incredibly easy, but I appreciated that because it took me a second to get comfortable with the controls. After that, I felt unstoppable (while still feeling the challenge).

Art style is cute too, with some funny dialogue from the woman you're chatting/eating with. Controls feel smooth as well. Fun little computer game, but don't know how replayable it really is, feeling pretty much done after the 15 minutes of gameplay. But overall, I really enjoyed playing this during my downtime at work.
