How it feels

A frantic, surreal race against the clock where you awkwardly fling a spoon into a bowl of oatmeal, blending goofy physics with an oddly tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players joke about the janky, shaky spoon controls and call it a 'parkinsons simulator' or 'the dark souls of oatmeal eating simulators.' A few complain that level 8 is unplayable due to the oatmeal clipping through the spoon, and some feel the 5 dollar price is too high for what amounts to a quick laughing matter.
