𝙎𝙀𝘿𝘼𝙋! is a really fresh take on coop cooking games, where you either play the cook, or the hunter that needs to harvest ingredients from monsters.

@traptics.bsky.social made an incredible game with so little.
I'm truly impressed at how much the game nails the tension and atmosphere, and I could really see the action as if it was a movie.

Chasing realism in games visuals is okay I guess.
I'd rather embrace characterful stylized weirdness.

New towers let you control the scale and mass of enemies!⚖️
Larger enemies are worth more but are harder to push off.
It's not broken if the player did it to themselves, right? 😅
