Fresh From The Oven by KobaHawk
Hey guys it's been an amazing experience to participate in Ludum Dare for the first time, we made everything from scratch to challenge ourselves and we are happy with the results.
Overview
In the game you're a grandma that just made an apple pie, and you don't want anyone to eat it while its hot. But, of course, someone will eat it, it's inevitable. woow
Here are some screenshots:

I believe that two things could improve the user experience
-A local scoreboard for us to try to beat our score (or show how long we survived in the end)
A "danger" indication when a hand is within seconds of picking up a piece.
Congratulations.
Animations would possibly be a small upgrade. Or simple tweens.
Maybe an indicator would help to know where the cursor is...
Congrats!
Otherwise seems like a cool game and a really interesting idea, kudos and thanks for uploading!
After 5 tressful minutes I fear the cake would be so full of bacteria that noone wants to eat it, but still I feel betrayed that there is no coffe & cake graphics, telling you how well you did.
fun entry!
Fun idea and neat graphics!
It would be great to see this as released game with some progression, variety of hands (maybe with shields or larger and smaller variations etc.), pies, 'weapons'...
Also it would be great to have some extended UI with timer indicating waves of enemys, and tips like 'press this key to use jet (it looks a little bit like chair so it is not obviouse from the first glance that you can use it).
But overall you did a really great job, fellow Unreal users! Keep going!
The theme is really nice though ! That grandma is very brave, I wouldn't have had the courage to wait for the pie to cool down myself !
