Hi and first of thank you for this very fun and cute game! the kid saying "Perfect!" with a french accent had me laughing :)

My issue it that most of the time it's the left thumb that is working in this game, the right thumb only being used for occasional sauces and probably other items i have not gotten to. It unnecessarily strains that left thumb when there is so much place for other ingredients on the right of the screen.

Another problem is with the 4 center-most tiles. It might only be a problem with me, my thumbs and the size of my screen, but if i'm holding my phone with my two hand and playing with thumbs, these tiles are unnecessarily difficult to reach, for very common items as well, which makes you continuously stretch your fingers and adopt a straining position which could in turn cause injuries

I'd suggest if possible to redistribute the ingredients more evenly between the left and right of the screen for this purpose, and if possible to divide the ingredient table into two separate sections with left-over (hardly reachable) space in the center, like you can see on ergonomic keyboards.
Also i noticed the game doesn't utilize the full screen surface ? maybe if it did, that would help with this issue.

Hi Cwpute, sorry for the late answer.

Great to hear you like the game! You have a good point regarding spreading ingredients. Burger Party is quite old by now, so it was designed in a time where phones were much smaller. I am not very active on the game these days, but since I received new translations lately, I might as well look at this spreading before I ship a new version.

PS: the kid saying "Perfect!" is my daughter :) She's not a kid anymore, but she is happy you appreciate her french accent :)
