Very hard if not impossible to control (on a PC keyboard) and for some reason it seemed like I couldn't get my hands close enough to grab some ingredients but I do kinda like the fun and frustration these "badly controlled" games gives you and you have managed to do that!
Enjoyed playing. Btw, to get close enough you need to press "2" and move around.
Fun idea, controls were really difficult though. (Maybe thats the point!)
Nice graphics and humor!
Took ages to load. I thought it crashed. But really was fun afterwards! :)
Haha nice gameplay and difficult controls :) I think you should increase friction of character movement.
Fun idea (Surgeon Simulator, anyone?) and graphics were nice, too. But I had a very hard time figuring out what to do. Good job! :)
This game was both fun and hard. Enjoyed it!
Wow, that was excruciatingly hard -- but in a good way!
13938 (Accidentally threw like 4 eggs in)! Crazy difficult and a bit clunky but managed it once I got the hang of it. Decent go at the whole awkward-simulation concept though! :D
It's very hard to control myself. I'm just happy baking isn't that hard in real life :)
But anyway, this is really good job in 48 hours!
I like these kinds of games, but similar to others of its type, they can be hard to control. I think with some tuning you could make it play pretty well. There's definitely potential, especially since I don't believe there's a cooking game like this yet. I could see a lot of people making entertaining Let's Plays, much as they have with Surgeon Simulator and the like. Not on theme, but nice work nonetheless.
Great concept, confusing controls :/
Awesome! I made my cake perfect but extra sugary...about 470 grams ^^
You need to improve the controls a bit and I don't necessarily mean to make them easier, but have a play with different keys and see which ones make it somewhat easier. Maybe leave the movement part out. I had to use the controller as it was too weird on the keyboard. On the Xbox controller you have to invert the thumbsticks. I don't think i've ever seen a game in which you move with the left thumbstick and look around with the right one.
Oh and don't see the connection to the theme very much.
Little issues aside, this is a very strong submission and it goes as 3rd on my list of favourite ones so far :).
Keep it up!
Hard to control (elevating hands are tedious and slow), but overall, pretty humorous game :D
I'd like to thank everyone for there comments :) it's really useful to get some real world feedback.
Best community ever!
Difficult controls, fun concept.
Is this even possible? I had fun smashing eggs, but I could even pick up the flour.
Cool idea and well implemented! Hard to control but guess that is the point, though I never have played any of the "simulator" games. Impressive that you managed this considering your friend dropped out!
Tipped over the flour, opened the oven, tuck the butter, dropped it, rage quit.
I guess I don't have the nerves... oh and, it's a nice hilarious game!
Really like the idea, I had a very similar one a while ago :)
Pretty good but so hardddd
Too many controls, I give up.
I liked the idea, but the controls just seemed to not behave themselves unfortunately.
I like the concept, simulators are awesome XD this game is super challenging which makes it addictive for me, I had to stop playing otherwise I would be playing for hours instead of rating games XD
One thing I noticed that was strange was there was a squeaking sound in the bkg music, not sure what that was but found it a bit distracting, also I think the controls might be a bit too difficult for people starting out. Overall you did a pretty good job though :)
Good job, I'm not baked, but I managed to bake a cake :)
Feels a lot like the "hyper simulators" of the like of surgeon simulator, obviously. So it suffers from the same "drawbacks" which is, for example, a heavy control scheme, that is part of the challenge.
Nevertheless a fun experience, and a great prototype that would probably gain from providing other types of cakes to bake/challenges like a time limit, a waiting customer, or something of the like.
Good job doing this in 48 hours nonetheless !
Very nice, I love the super awkward controls or super realistic controls games, good job! Took me ages to bake that cake
Impossible to control with a Logitech gamepad :-(
