I hope to god that nobody tries to use this recipe to cook risotto. No onion? No butter / oil? parmesan goes in with all the other ingredients? Oh ... and the 'gameplay' is nonexistent.
It really needs more variety to make it worth playing for more than 2 minutes. Also, perhaps the store could be a separate screen you browse while the game pauses - or, preferably, between waves.
Nice concept, but the lag in the controls makes this almost unplayable - on so many occasions I'm hurling candy down the wrong lane, wasting time. Fix that, and you've got a nice game.
I save $0.99 on an app I don't want, and all it costs me is ... sharing my data across many platforms, and letting this developer link my Kongregate handle to my real life iTunes account, et cetera? Gee. Bargain. I'll pass.
The concept of using saved runs from other players is a great one. Letting us see if those saved runs used any specials is also useful. I echo rezoner's comment - I'd like to know which of my saved runs are being hired, and which ones aren't. Lovely little game.
