Help Tony the tiny chef cook an English breakfast.

Some food may require chopping before being fried.
Don't leave food on the frying pan for too long, or it may burn.

Made for GMTK Game Jam 2024
The theme was "Built to Scale", so I decided to make a game about a tiny chef that has to deal with cooking, when everything is much larger than himself.

I decided to use the PICO-8 game engine as it works well for prototyping, and fits with the idea of something "small"
