Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay as just explained is quick short microgames progressively getting faster through the stage which are pretty decently fun, some are cheeky imitations of other games and none of them are inherently bad, but some are just kinda eh and don't really work well, these are: space invanders, marriage, failsafe, undertale evade, block, kung fu, helmet selection and pvz spit. all these suffer from one issue, on higher speeds they become impossible if you're unlucky and ultimately it ends up feeling overly cheap and annoying.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Overall a decent try at making a warioware-like game but due to unrefined style and lack of solidarity in what gives those games a sense of style, game soup failed to live up to the expectations i had for a microgame styled game, with more refined sense of graphics, some characters of its own to add variety on stages and much much better music, i'd be leaving a positive review.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music is where this game fails completely, honestly with good music this game could've squeezed a positive review from me, but the games music is far too tame and isn't bold enough for what it aims to be, warioware smooth moves is a great game for comparison, go listen to all the minigame jingles and see how it varies from insane guitar riffs to funky future sounding music, not only that but the random sound effects, sounds of the timers ticking down, all add to the charming atmosphere those games have, game soup does not do that, its overly quiet, minimal with the music, and frankly the minigame jingles are laughably dull and boring, so much so that i ended up just slapping warioware ost over it instead because it was genuinely beginning to irk me that much, this game definitely needed to be more confident and heavier with its music, it felt too shallow and as a result detracted from the game.
