Pressing space crashes the game under Wine (v1.6-rc5 on OS X 10.9)

Nice idea, it gets difficult very quickly. Is the framerate intended to be in the hundreds? As it is the game is very fast but it could be because it was balanced for a slower framerate. The customers only able to eat what is above them make the game quite unforgiving.

Lucariatias:
=/ too bad. Strange. Does it crash on other key presses? Does R work? (will actually start the game too).
Kragnir:
Yeah, the sprite needs to be above in a pretty small interval, and the code only compares the left border of the sprite compared to the left border and right border of the thought bubble, so it's a bit off...

Everything in the game should be frame independent, as you can see on my screenshot, I myself got a FPS on 310... Maybe the calculations are a bit off, but I don't think so. The game is meant to be fastpased, but it's a bit too hard maybe. Got harder at the very end as I implemented the losing condition...

Thx for feedback!

missing MSVCP110.dll, could not play

Surprisingly addictive but as noted above, really hard once you get going!

interesting little game. It wasn't particularly obvious from the description what to do at first, so it took a few moments for me to get going with it.

Marcellus: Try to install http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679

The game as a whole is not fun, although if the gameplay was more refined and was explained better then I feel like it would be much better

It's an original idea and an interesting take on the theme, although I didn't find it very engaging.

It works well under wine-1.7.16 on Linux.

I installed the program and the same message shows up

I love sounds x). I can't restart the game with R, it's a bit annoying. Cool interpretation.

Marcellus: strange. I really don't wanna include dll-files that should be part of some windows (add-on)components... but here my version is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5cnb31apxhmkuk0/msvcp110.dll


MSaul: Restart with R should only work while inside the menu... Didn't occur to me that you might wanna restart after losing the game as I implemented the restart button before the game was actually losable. R is so close to 4... Well. Try R inside of menu?

Cool mechanic, but that bird tweeting really gets on your nerves after a while haha

msaul 2014-05-01 00:17

Ok, I get it. I had no idea of what to do after loosing, thx.

This became a lot more engaging than I thought it would =)
It would be good if there was something to make it clearer in which area an item needs to be in order to correspond to a certain customer. Still, this reminds me of my favourite mini-game in Backpacker 2. The fruit/fish sorting mini-game =D

Funny voices :) pretty nice gameplay too.

romandtom 2014-05-09 01:24

That was an original one :)
