Congratulation for winning the Grand Award.
The game has simple rules as an action puzzle game in which a player moves through a field of fryers to reach the goal lest his/her character should get fried by oil, but this is very enjoyable. The game's style of moving “nets” in the field and making good use of blocks and foodstuffs to build a path forward is ingenious.
The worldview emanated from graphics and sound is very solid, and the overall quality of the game is so good and very carefully created.
The tutorial is detailed and easy to understand. A player doesn’t have to read the operation manual carefully to play. It is a good thing.
I was also impressed with excellent technological abilities for graphic expression, which contribute greatly to the high completeness of the overall game experience. At the same time, however, I slightly felt sorry. The game would be more attractive if they raised or lowered the speed of character animations (motions) during the production.
I think this game received a very high overall rating for the “careful attention” to the player, as well as the “high level of technical skill” and the “fun of the game”, which led to the award of the “Grand Prize.” Once again, “Congratulations!”

The 3D models are highly polished, the visual expressions of the production are also of high quality and their technical skills are so good.
The game is highly evaluated because a player intuitively understands what to do because the game's puzzle elements are in level design; it is easy to operate when a player makes a failure; he/she can retry it quickly and enjoyed playing the game, repeating trial and error without stress.
In addition, there's an opening movie that makes it easy to understand the simple worldview, and the cute little "Crabbitch" turns into tempura and dies in an instant if a player makes a mistake. This was surreal and made me laugh when I played.
A straightforward approach used for the concept expression is utilized at the heart of game characteristics. In my opinion, the overall quality of this game’s items is so high and the game is highly completed.

In this game, the sound of the theme is the “sound of oil bursting.”
In this puzzle action game, a player controls the main character “Crabbitch,” who was captured by a witch and tried to escape before he is eaten.
The player controls both “Crabbitch” and the "Fryer's Net,” successfully moving foothold ingredients and blocks to avoid touching the oil, and aiming for the goal. If Crabbitch touches the oil, the game is over. It is turned into tempura and eaten by a witch.
Taking the theme sound as the “sound of oil bursting,” they have prepared various gimmicks that make use of the characteristics of oil, such as foodstuffs floating over oil and blocks that become hot when placed close to the oil.
The high level of technology is also evident in the witch's constant glances at “Crabbitch,” the unique expression in which it is turned into a tempura, and the stages created with 3D models.
Furthermore, every detail of the game's presentation, such as the detailed explanations of the controls, sound and graphics, has been carefully elaborated to a high degree of perfection.
