Shrimple by Ron88
Tossed into a boiling pot, a tiny shrimp escapes, desperate to return to the ocean and his family of tiny creatures. He must rush through the kitchen, dodging hot pans and chef's hands while grabbing saucy power-ups. With each jump, he gets closer to freedom and the sea where he belongs.
How to play:
Move with AD or ← → , jump with W, ↑ or space. Cover yourself in sauces for power-ups, but you can only have one at a time. Stay moist by touching water or you’ll dry out - check your moisture bar at the top. Dodge the chef's hands and escape the kitchen to win!

Relatively hard controls, but manageably simple. Cool sauce mechanics.
There were quite a few times when colliders were bigger than I was expecting or I died for no apparent reason in the middle of the air.
I played this with a friend and they loved it!
My only complaint is the hand's hitbox is a bit big, but if you don't waste time walking around like me it's not really noticable.
Definitely one of the more fun ones I've played!
Really great art style. Cool sounds. Fun mechanic design. The end made me laugh and then go aww
