Hi Guys,
Here's a video of my work in progress game Hot Buttered:
It's still pretty rough around the edges, so I'd be grateful to get your feedback on what I should improve first. Thanks!

It needs some background also. What were your ideas for that? My initial thought was it could be vertical scrolling parallax clouds (clouds scrolling downwards). See my attachment. I suppose that would kind of make it a flying popcorn catching game, dunno if that's what you envisioned.
Regardless.. you need to get a background in there quickly

Hehe yes, I didn't include sound in the video because I have only placeholder sound effects right now. I plan to record some good sounds for popping, sizzling, and crunching, and also add theme music

What do you guys think of this second prototype? What should I improve next? Your feedback is very helpful, thanks!
-Background, like this much more better.
-About the pot as @simvhi suggested while the corn is popping you can shake the pot also. It will be a good effect.
-Within the level the speed can change a little bit just to give some adrenaline to the user.
The more simultaneous catch you will make the more hotter the pot will be and the more popping. And the user can get extra points. From time to time you can pop some special corns like caramel corn which has extra points.
If your concept is already clouds, you can do such scenario:
-The game started with a slow popping. And the background will be normal blue weather and white clouds.
-The more you catch the more hotter so the background starts to change and sun start to seen, and you can transform the color to a little bit yellowish. Of course you can add a shaking sun and combo started.
And whenever you start to miss to catch the corns simultaneously the weather again transforms to normal and popping slowly and points will decrease.
I have put in some special (colored) kernels that are worth more points, but maybe the colors should be more obvious. Also, I now realize that it should be more obvious that they are worth extra points
The weather idea is interesting too. I had been thinking about gradually changing the sky color as the player levels up, but your idea is pretty cool. Thanks for all the ideas!
I like when he catches fire
