Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (the game is the 1st there, likes and subs are highly appreciated)):
Advantages:
The game has an eerie feeling to it which is an incredible thing for a horror experience. There's always a feeling of something being off and I think it's really cool that you achieved that. There are different lines the mother says the more you wait, the way her head turns like 360 degrees, and more... cool!
Disadvantages:
Well, what the heck with flying meatballs and red lines? I mean, it's kinda weird and I couldn't understand whether the main character is having a trip or it's just bizarre. I think these things ruined the ambiance a bit (at least for me). I believe it would be way better to make more subtle changes in the environment as you did with the mother's face. For example, slowly change the color of the walls, make the room slightly darker each time. make some red stains appear on the floor... Stuff like that. In my personal opinion, it would be way cooler!
Overall:
I think this game definitely deserves 4 / 5 star rating. It could be a bit scarier and the ambiance could be stronger but it's still very cool as is and I genuinely enjoyed playing the game! Well done!))
For a game that was made in only 48 hours it gave off such an uncomfortable and terrifying vibe! Being in an enclosed space with a killer demon as mother really created that uncomfortable vibe and that feeling just did not let me go until the end of the game. It kind of reminded me of Cooking Mama if Mama was a demon and terrifying and a killer and able to twist her neck 360 degrees. Great job on this! ;)
This was so fun! I mean, it’s so short and there are so many things that add to the overall spookiness, in the dialog, the movements of the mother,I can’t believe it, a 5 minute game had me on the edge of my seat, I loved it, fantastic job, I had a visceral reaction to the cutting of the veggies because it felt so wrong (but was in the context of a horror game, so so right). Awesome.
I loved it! It's such a genuinely creepy and uncanny valley type experience that doesn't rely on jumpscares to carry it. It was the first game I played in my latest 3 Scary Games vid!
Game was great! It was so simple, yet really spooky. It was pretty impressive how you made the mother teleport around so smoothly and also change her face as the player makes more of the food. And not sure if my theory is correct, but the fact that she disappears at the end might mean that she never existed or is a ghost that is haunting the player? Pretty intriguing and such a fun small game!
for a game that was made in 48 hours is very impressive, i enjoyed playing it although it was short. video is up on my channel for yall to watch, good game!
Had a blast playing Mother's Little Helper! It was short and to the point and perfect for the game jam! The mom in the game was so creepy! I highly recommend everyone to give this game a download and play if you have 5 minutes to check it out! I'm looking forward to more of your games JClip!
My only complaint is that its to short! In all seriousness I thoroughly enjoyed this game, especially for how long it took to make it. Hope to see more of your stuff in the future!

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi, guys! How do I add to "my library" to play soon without downloading now? Thank you very much!
Really fun game! great atmosphere
A short but sweet horror game. Loved the subtle story telling and the style of the game. Great stuff!
HONESTLY A LIL SPOOKY
I loved it! It's such a genuinely creepy and uncanny valley type experience that doesn't rely on jumpscares to carry it. It was the first game I played in my latest 3 Scary Games vid!
A great little game :)
Really had fun playing your game along with 2 other great games, thank you so much for such a fun game!
Mother and I clearly have different ideas about what constitutes seasoning...
Good game! The atmosphere was great and controls easy - but where did Mother disappear to, towards the end?
Very interesting game and I liked the ending. I did have to replay to see what mother would do.
HONESTLY COOL HORROR GAME WITH AN UNEXPECTED ENDING AHHAHAHAH
good but short
Yo, even though this game was short, it was quite the experience. I enjoyed this so much! And that ending had me disturbed😂😂

Game #3
Short, but spooky. Reminds me of "The Supper" a little bit.
I got that feeling too!
I thought that too!

Nice lol horror game right here. This game is really good for it to be done in 48 hours! You did yo thing dev!
Pretty unnerving and devious. I had a lot of fun getting several songs stuck in my head while playing, and those sounds at the end... bleh...
Gave it some gameplay (The 2nd game of the video) had a few bugs
really dark game i got spooked since she keep teleporting right near me but this game is great for a 48 hour game :D
This is honestly, a pretty dark game lol. Very well made! :)
This video will premiere tomorrow! :)
Really liked it! It was really good, especially for a game made in only 48 hours. Over all a pretty good game!
Can we get more of this GAME!! I wanna cook some more TASTY MEALS LOL
