A fun game. The tutorial is amazing to introduce you to the game mechanics and the game plays very nice. It was different than what I expected and I got used to it quickly.

The puzzles are creative and there was a lot of thought put into them and also a lot of puzzles. In summary, the easy levels and half the normal puzzles are small. In the other half of the normal puzzles through the hard puzzles they get bigger and in the hard difficulty there is less time to complete them.

The only thing I disliked quite a bit are the circle and square numbers. They make the puzzles very hard especially if the number is greater than 3. Not that big of a deal because the symmetry of most puzzles allows you to cheese them, but in some puzzles it gets tiresome, namely the asymmetric ones. Nevertheless I understand that this was necessary to keep the game interesting and not too simple. There is probably better ways to do it, but giving the size of the DS screen it was a clever decision.

The highlight for me is level 9-gold, it was a nice way to finish the game. I liked this game a lot and unfortunately couldn't play it online. I wanted to see community puzzles and try to make some, but it's fine. I don't recommend this game, though. I can see it being frustrating sometimes and I think most people would lose their minds instead of having fun with it.

MegaTheRealOne said in his review that this was basically Pizza Tower released 30 years ago and that got me interested in playing this game.

It's true, it's basically Pizza Tower in the design. There's a lot of fun sprites and some seem like they're hand drawn. As Mega said, the kitchen theme, while not something original, is done very well here, is charming and, in my opinion, is the only reason to play this game. The last level reminded me of Shovel Knight for some reason. The music is also fun but nothing special.

As for the game itself, it could be better. At the beginning it's fun, the pan mechanics are well done and the variety of weapons is something you look forward to. That is until the game starts to put unavoidable weapons in your way and there's no way to progress without switching the weapons. Besides the pan there's the spoon, which is basically a longer range pan, a plate, which works as a projectile, and the fork (the worst) that keeps you jumping and to kill enemies with it you have to jump above them. If you take any damage you lose them and get the pan back. For example, there's a section where the game forces you to use the fork. Right after, if you are using the fork, you are forced to get the plate. The worst part about this section is that both of this are horrible in said section and you are basically forced to take damage.

The design of the levels, overall, is interesting because it is as vertical as it is horizontal. But again, some sections have horrible enemy placements and weird gaps to jump over which made the game a bit frustrating for me. The health system is another problem in the design for me. Resetting to two hp points with the continues is so annoying and there isn't a reliable way to get max hp back. I have nothing to say about the mini games because I barely played them.

That's it for me. I wish I could enjoy this game more but apparently I'm too casual for it.
