  hits a vegetable with a spatula, rotting odors
  will emit and life points will be subtracted

Game Design (cont.)

• Scoring
• No numerical score the point is to recover
  appliances, not to get rich
• Cooking points - hitting vegetables loses you
  some cooking points. Zero cooking points means
  youre dead. Or just that you lost.
• Time - once time limit is reached, John dies. I
  mean, John doesnt get his appliances back. And
  hes sad. Because you failed.
