Love the art style.

clownaround 2014-08-26 02:34

The idea behind is is fantastic. Great art. Levels were fun. Didn't notice any bugs. Great concept. Bravo!

This is the most innovative/interesting game I've seen this Ludum Dare! And I really like the art.

planetary_invasion 2014-08-26 02:41

Really awesome. The art was (obviously) incredible, but the puzzle was creative and a more subtle take on the theme. The only thing I would suggest is more user feedback for progressing through levels. The first level felt long, and it was hard to keep track of who already got their salt so I wasn't sure how many more I had to do. Other than that this was really awesome!

Interesting mechanic, cool art style! Feels like it could be a bit faster paced somehow, though

scottyb 2014-08-26 03:04

this is super cute and addicting!!!! but I'm not sure I get the theme.

I wrote a poem about this for Poems About Games! http://poemsaboutgames.tumblr.com/post/95791067297/the-salt-pleeease

The gameplay is appealing but it could use some variety after a couple of minutes. Some penalties for reckless grabbing might make it more contemplative and challenging. I do like the apparent lack of a time limit however.

The drawings are charming and very nicely integrated.

marjie62 2014-08-26 03:12

Awesome! Couldn't pick up a salt shaker at one point, though.

tonbery 2014-08-26 03:13

I think I can play for hours!! Art is clean and charming!! I found no bug for now!! Really fantastic!
CONGRATULATIONS!

You have provided valuable insight into how my family eats dinner. 4.5/5

simonchauvin 2014-08-26 08:26

Even though it's a bit light on the theme it's a very fresh experience, I loved it! And the art is a perfect fit as well as a beautiful style.

kinta 2014-08-26 12:22

Great idea and execution, enjoyed this a lot!

ponk 2014-08-26 12:23

:) ! ... :) !!

Thhaankkk yyooOOoouuu for the lovable comments...!

@Hexadecima1 : HhhhhhHHhhhhhh..hhHHh....!!! Awesome ! That's very nice.

After I finish my breakfast, I'll made a post about the interpretation of theme and futur updates (including your remarks about game speed, feedbacks and challenges)

Thank you again for the compliments ! :)

sheepolution 2014-08-26 16:46

This makes me feel uneasy. The smiles, the long arms, really creepy. The game is funny, innovative and is tougher than it looks. Good job!

cudabear 2014-08-26 18:28

This is a really well designed puzzle game! It's intriguing and allows for many different kinds of puzzles, but is a little easy. I think some sort of time limit would make it much more tense!

hyoga-3d 2014-08-26 18:32

Super creative game, Innovation 5 starts!

brookman 2014-08-26 18:37

This is art, well done!

graebor 2014-08-26 18:54

Really clever puzzle game, nice artwork too. I enjoy how simple the controls are (basically takes 2 seconds to learn how to play) but there's still a lot you can do, especially with a complicated table. A little weak on the theme, perhaps, but super creative nonetheless.

revelorenfield 2014-08-26 19:06

Strange game, I got surprised in a good way by the concept.
The art style is special but it shows great skills.
Congratulations

pereubu 2014-08-26 19:26

Omg this is awesome !

hypp 2014-08-26 20:02

Excellent, great idea. Well done!

frankus 2014-08-26 20:07

Fun game! Would play this to pass the time. Simple yet addicting game. Amazing job!

thingostudios 2014-08-26 20:14

Unique art style married to interesting (if not very puzzly) game play. Definitely cool. My only gripe is it's not particularly on-theme, but that could be fixed easily enough. (Ethnic diversity between the people would make the theme more obvious, I think.)

doubstract 2014-08-26 20:18

It's brilliant!

mrexcessive 2014-08-26 20:35

Hey there. That is one WEIRD game you made... First with mechanics that made me laugh. Very Monty Python/Terry Gilliamesq. Great job!

xanjos 2014-08-26 22:18

Sadly lacking some sound but this was a very fun puzzle game and I absolutely loved the hand-drawn art style.

slumber 2014-08-26 22:27

great art style, funny and creepy at the same time and really fit the gameplay. great job!

simplexcity 2014-08-27 10:03

really wanted to play this one but it wouldnt load for me. it looks awesoome from the screenshots

ponk 2014-08-27 11:59

Thank you all ! :) ! I will play your games as soon as I can.

@Simplexcity : Oh-ho! What browser do you have ? I've tested the game on firefox 31.0 and chrome 36.0

chrisgaudino 2014-08-27 15:02

Very cool and original. Awesome art style.

kevinzuhn 2014-08-27 16:29

The art style is definitely unique, and I like how the simple inputs lead to very complex movements across the level.

lars-faust 2014-08-27 21:18

Amazing concept and setting.
Art style is very fitting and the whole thing works very well. This entry really has character to it. Great job.

egos 2014-08-27 22:20

really nice concept and well polished.
I like specialy the art style

dickpoelen 2014-08-28 09:12

That's so clever!

gnerkus 2014-08-28 09:13

The art style is beautiful. This is the most innovative game I've tested (in LD30).

metalchouchen 2014-08-28 11:00

Love art, this game should be evil in multiplayer I think :) Congrats!

franklins-ghost 2014-08-28 13:00

Such a beautiful looking game, the hand drawn style works so well. The puzzle aspect is also a nice interpretation of the theme.

nosfer 2014-08-28 13:36

Nice art style and original concept!

43iscoding 2014-08-28 14:47

I really enjoyed playing this game! Artwork style is very original and interesting! Great job!

lokarunith 2014-08-28 16:21

that's an awesome concpet :D
the idea is simply excellent and the puzzles are very nice, great work!

nonentheless 2014-08-28 17:19

HAHAHA, great idea, nice execution, awesome job :)

spolsh 2014-08-28 19:39

I've never saw such puzzle game before. Nice graphics. Like how table gets cluttered after some time!

deepnight 2014-08-29 12:11

That's one of the most original entry I've seen in this LD :) It takes a few minutes to get used to the controls, but once you get it, it's incredbly fun to play, well done!

The graphics are great too: the only disturbing thing was that lady with the long hairs and the looong hairy arms. Creepy.

yodamaster 2014-08-29 18:30

Nice hand-drawn graphics and quite cool mechanics. Getting chaotic quite quickly.

pierrec 2014-08-29 18:39

Really innovative, and with lovely graphics. Reminded me a bit of Tetra in a way, but the gameplay is way different and probably funnier.

otrorainteractivo 2014-08-29 19:03

Only one I give 5 star on innovation. This is something else. Congrats!

ponk 2014-08-29 19:15

Thank you very much!!

@deepnight Oh-ho! I guess it's the consequence of too much random generation. (But hairy girls exist!)
I'm working on new characters more unique.

I will post something soon :) !

ruerob 2014-08-29 19:24

Now I never ask for salt anymore, because if I do so everything will be thrown from the desk. Thank you for your game.

dragoninstall 2014-08-29 23:49

Original game. Like the art style. Very interesting game. GG!!!

saintheiser 2014-08-30 03:47

HAhahahah!
This game makes my day =)
Really fuuny and humourus one. Also liked the game mechanic.
Good job!

egor-idiot 2014-08-30 05:33

Oh that really nice! 5 of 5 , very original game.
I like art and conception.

roguenoodle 2014-08-30 11:59

Love the art and the concept was both original and really well executed. Great entry!

wallmasterr 2014-08-30 12:13

like the art, and the idea is realy unique , Realy lied when u had to cooperate to get the salt to the right people. and the rediculusly long arms were funny

skiddings 2014-08-31 15:57

Great idea for a puzzle game!

natrium729 2014-09-01 01:33

Really cool style and concept! Plus, they are all left-handed! What could I ask more?
(it just doesn't fit the theme really well but it doesn't matter too much.)

goerp 2014-09-03 20:07

What a lovely game!
Charming graphics and a original game concept.

Some more sound would have been nice, but this is better than bad sound.
I would have liked a bit more visual feedback when someone's got what he/she wants. Maybe a bit speedier.
Other than that great!

thecolorhacker 2014-09-03 21:25

Art is great. Gameplay is nice but does not involve a lot of challenge. How about a timed mode?

amour-maternel 2014-09-04 15:54

Very nice art and interesting mecanics, too bad it's really not connected to the theme.

juniorus 2014-09-05 18:32

Not very difficult one time you understand how it works, but it's a very fun interpretation of the theme! And the graphics are great too!
You can add challenge if you forbid to move the plates (all of them, or only few ones maybe).

tomvert 2014-09-07 20:18

This game really steps out. Great job.

nicepenguins 2014-09-09 05:00

Really clever gameplay : I loved it :) !

rawbosaurx 2014-09-10 11:38

Really original concept for puzzle game. Never seen anything quite like it before. Thought the difficulty was a little low in the beginning, but it actually got pretty challenging after a few levels. Not sure how it connects with the theme, tough. Anyways, great work, man!
