Boosh! Pretty sure that fancy iron would cost more than a toaster.

Reminds me of WarioWare, quite funny. The minigames could be more diverse though, and the spreading butter part is kind of boring. Good graphics though, and I like the retro music.

Everytime 'click again' appears, the hit box should include the area of text that says 'click again', rather than requiring the user to click everyone on screen until they find the right spot.

Also, after placing cheese on the quesadilla, it went straight into flipping mode, so I unwillingly did a 'bad flip'.

It's a shame that there isn't more polish on some of the other GUI elements, because from what there is so far, the art looks good.

There should also be more player feedback as to how close they are to getting certain 'scores' as they play.

Hahaha, what the heck! Good job!
Too bad there's no bad ending, though!

Short, simple and fun. I'd have enjoyed more diverse challenges.

This is a silly game. =)

The first time I played, I almost left after making toast. I didn't realize that was just the first stage. It would help to have a big NEXT CHALLENGE graphic or something.

Sound effects would push this game through the roof.

I love the smooshed butter graphic and the girl's face. Rather than using the meter, I think you could move the iron across the toast/sandwich/quesadilla and measure the alignment when the player clicks. Maybe the water reservoir is loaded with movie theater liquid butter so the "spray" button adds flavor.

Ironing some bread? Sure thing! With some more work on game mechanics and perhaps harder challenges, this could turn out to be interesting...
