Graphics & characters are really cool! Nice job!

Weird little game, wasn't expecting the math aspect at all. Had some problems with the second one though, put in the right change and it didn't accept it, so not sure what happened there, probably not enough feedback on whether you complete the order or fail it, and what to do next.

There is a little rounding error that occures sometimes because the tasks are random generated. I know how to fix it but time is up. But I want to make a post compo version where the game is like it was planned.

I absolutely love the graphics, and the green circle guy is adorable. The math aspect was interesting, but I would have liked to see it alongside something a bit more complex. I think it would have added a ton if you would have just done something as simple as making the map bigger and adding a bit of a challenging little simplistic mario-style platforming level.

I think the game could really use a tutorial. I find it very confusing. After having delivered pizza to two aliens (snake and ghost) it does not look like I can do anything else. Controls works pretty well.

It was planned bigger, with a scrolling world and much more aliens to deliver pizza to. But unfortunatly this LD was together with my daughters last weekend in freedom (her first year at school has begun monday), so I hadn't much time to do all planned stuff. But I want to make that game complete.

The change-making aspect was unexpected (the interface could be tweaked to make what you're supposed to be doing a bit clearer), but clever. I love the overall graphical style, and I'd love to see this game completed someday (even just the addition of some audio would make a huge difference!)

i love the story about the The ultimate pleasure. PIIIIIIIZZAAAA!!!

Who doesn't love pizza?I had trouble figuring out how to select change for the customer...I will check back in if I see an explanation. Thanks!

Love the concept - it could be taken waay further! Pizza <3

Funny hat animation +)

papacheech 2014-08-27 02:57

didn't expect math... this game was freakin sweet.

randomnamegenerator 2014-08-27 04:42

I couldn't understand how to calculate the change:/ I like pizza tho! :)

Really cool way to teach your daughter about programming. I hope she had fun :)

majorcrampas 2014-08-27 07:52

had no clue what to do at the beginning but the graphics kept me playing :)

oxeren 2014-08-27 09:02

Nice and kind game vith pretty graphics :)

jimmypaulin 2014-08-27 20:36

I really enjoyed the mood of this one, gorgeous visuals and solid construction. The hud and maths aspect was refreshing, not at all what I was expecting - the connected worlds are 'games' and 'maths tuition'? ;) When my daughter is old enough this is the kind of game I'll be introducing her too :D

mrbungle 2014-08-27 22:01

Awesomely cute graphics, like the inclusive of the maths aspect. Sweet little game.

yodamaster 2014-08-27 22:19

What to to after two deliveries?

merlijnvh 2014-08-27 23:06

That was really creative, very cool!

matthias_zarzecki 2014-08-28 20:02

aww, this is lovely :)

McFunkypants 2014-08-29 00:12

Very interesting and unexpected game mechanic! nice work!

mrexcessive 2014-08-29 20:10

Hi there. Not rated yet. Nothing seemed to work once "change the money" was displayed. I reloaded it and still nothing once get to that point. Clicking all over the place, no effect. Chrome/W8.1

rocketship 2014-08-29 20:48

Funny game, I liked the graphics a lot. The basic gameplay mechanic is very simple but come on, the game is adorable!

nonentheless 2014-08-29 21:03

Very nice idea and nice execution. Maybe I'm not fan of the character, but I like the small things, like the cap, and graphics in general :) Great job!

paps 2014-08-30 09:25

Nice game. Too bad there is no sound.

steve 2014-08-30 13:31

The rounding error made me question my ability to mental arithmetic, but otherwise the idea of combining a platformer with maths puzzles is a cool one

ponk 2014-08-30 21:54

Nice pixels!
I like the animations too

ViliX 2014-09-07 20:32

Math? Oh boy..
