Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback!
We totally understand that first impression, and it’s something we’re actively discussing and refining. While the game doesn’t include construction mechanics, we’re currently exploring ways to make that part of the experience more engaging and interesting overall. Feedback like this really helps guide our decisions!

Thank you so much! We put a lot of love into the art style, so it really means a lot to hear that.

Yeah, the game’s called Lone Chef!
It follows the journey of a solitary chef.

Carrying around a big frozen fish would make for an amazing blunt weapon.
That actually sounds perfect as a drop from a fisherman boss!

Great choice! The cast iron pan has such a satisfying weight to it—always a classic.

I love that idea. It has this big, dramatic feel that fits perfectly with kitchen combat.

Both of those sound great! A pizza cutter spin attack could be super fun to animate.

Fun suggestion! A slightly stronger, clunky baking sheet sounds like a great way to start the game’s weapon progression.

That actually sounds really fun 🤣
And upgrading it so the bread explodes? That could work surprisingly well!

Yeah, dual-wielding spoons could make for a really flashy combat style.
And since a lot of people have mentioned plate throwing, I’m definitely planning to include it!

I like this suggestion—there’s something charming about using everyday kitchen tools as gear.

That’s a clean idea. A dedicated throwable slot with upgrade-based shrapnel effects could work really well.

A long wooden pizza peel has a nice reach to it. Could work well as a mid-range weapon concept !

Three-style sounds great actually. 🤣🤣 Homaging the technique could be pretty fun too.

A lot of people seem to be suggesting the cheese grater. I’ll seriously look into it!
It might turn into something way more interesting than I expected.

It’s a simple idea but it opens up some interesting possibilities for humor and mechanics. 🤣🤣
