157 was my points! Pretty fun!

matthew-rayfield 2014-12-08 08:55

I very much enjoyed this!

I liked the audio, had me laughing a few times. Especially the "no problem son".

Good speed. Challenging enough. I could see this expanded if you wanted into other cooking type things. Or maybe other dad jobs.

I got 172!

icedvariables 2014-12-08 09:26

The voice acting is very entertaining!

domicuc 2014-12-08 13:43

Easy and fun! :) like that!

lisac 2014-12-08 13:56

Fun! I loved the voice acting! :)

cutandreil 2014-12-08 13:57

THe voice really add something!
Well made game ^^.

HERE YOU GO!

Great game, super tough as well. The voice acting is fantastic, and contrasts well with the difficulty of the game. It can be tough to gauge how cooked something is, but that's a minor issue. It'd be cool if you could just click and drag to throw the food into the tickets too.

sojabird 2014-12-08 13:58

Hahah the audio!! Omg the audio is amazing!
You've got to have had a great time recording that.

The idea is super nice and sweet. Though it's sometimes hard to see what's rare and medium and such :D

Great entry.

My points: 152

occamsrazor 2014-12-08 13:59

153! I know I can do better than that!

Great game, simple but challenging. The audio was fantastic. Altogether extremely well crafted.

recon 2014-12-08 13:59

Very, very good audio, but isn't it little off-theme?

job_ 2014-12-08 13:59

Pretty fun, very challenging! I had a few laughs. Well done!

antisc2 2014-12-08 14:00

Great game! Really enjoyed this one. It's just fantastic!

tuism 2014-12-08 14:03

159! Pretty fun, there's been a lot of different games on this take but yours is brutally true to life AND funny :) Great voice overs :) I can imagine this *is* a real life dilemma faced by mane BBQ dads!!!

yodamaster 2014-12-08 14:21

Very funny! Just make sure that when the game is over, you don't accidently start another one - include a little delay. I couldn't see my score at all.

techblogogy 2014-12-08 14:24

Fantastic game, I really love you're art style. Keep it up!

BTW: About my game to run it you MUST allow to run apps download from everywhere to do that: Go to Settings -> Security&Privacy -> Allow Apps Downloaded From: Anywhere

techblogogy 2014-12-08 14:41

Weird that did the trick for me. I'm also on 10.10. Dammit apple security!

snoutup 2014-12-08 15:13

Hilarious! Loved it, the voices made it 10x better :)

raincole 2014-12-08 15:45

Nice voice and handwriting tips!

yongcamu 2014-12-08 21:02

Really really like it! :D Great one, so simple yet so fun. <3

hypnoticbytes 2014-12-09 00:52

96 because I was laughing all the time. Nice game!!! Love the voice!!!!

huggabugga 2014-12-09 04:34

'Ew, wat da hellz dis?!' Love it!

antworks 2014-12-09 04:40

I like it! I found it a bit hard to know when the food is done, but the audio is pretty funny!

davient 2014-12-09 06:05

Loved the Voice Acting! "Thank you for the... Ew what the hell is this" Hahaha

Lex - You dont have a LD profile, I want to ask you for more details on the Unity Errors you found on "Oi! Menu!?" tweet me @drdavient

deadpixelsociety 2014-12-09 06:05

235! *flex* Well done man fun and simple and the voice overs are hilarious. :)

jelly 2014-12-09 06:18

i think i overcooked everything. :P
it was fun though and i love the voice acting!

lonelytimelord 2014-12-09 10:16

Love the audio! Really addictive game, I keep going back to it. Just got 222 points :D

chris-mondok 2014-12-09 13:30

That's all it takes to be a super dad, huh?

asobitech 2014-12-09 15:13

Does anyone really feel like some bacon now?

lokiman 2014-12-09 16:57

I'm no good in real life BBQ, but doing it in the game was fun as hell :D
Extra points for pro voice acting!

Too bad you didn't make it in time for compo but we all can play and enjoy the virtual BBQ anyway so it doesn't matter, right? :D

igor-kingamer 2014-12-09 20:43

274 YEAH, dad of the year! hahaha
Very nice :D

thingostudios 2014-12-09 21:53

HOW MANY CHILDREN DOES THIS GUY HAVE??

shampop 2014-12-10 00:56

276, I'm the Dad of the year :D

It was fun, and the voice are great

kitch 2014-12-10 02:40

That was alot of fun.... got stuck in the 200 point range, as it appears I raised a bunch of steak snobs. :)
Thanks! Good Job!

virtuallycompetent 2014-12-10 03:13

Best score: 184

I'm rating a little on the low end for innovation since I've played a number of games like this before, but you blew everything else out of the water! Slick art style, hilarious voice acting, and...a tutorial?! Really impressive how nice and polished everything is for an almost-compo entry. :D

These kids must think steak grows on trees

jackrugile 2014-12-10 05:59

Loved this game, the voice acting made it for me. Hilarious! Well done!

murchurl 2014-12-10 07:37

The voice acting game this game gives it a lot of character, nice entry!

boracho 2014-12-10 09:06

this was fun. The voice acting was hilarious. little hard to tell how done the steaks are though. Other than that, good work!

pixelcrust 2014-12-10 11:23

Neat game, enjoyed playing it. the voice is a nice addition also :)

deyteris_team 2014-12-10 14:47

I enjoy it.The gameplay is simple, but the audio is perfect

drtizzle 2014-12-10 16:15

GREAT!!!

Very funny voices and great graphics!
The only thing that bothered me was that it was hard to tell how well the steak was done.

Great job!!! :D

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-10 19:02

Simply superb. A game about bacon, and other meats. It's a shame that I have zero cooking talent in real life, but at least I managed to keep my virtual family happy.

Lots of fun - I enjoyed it.

mrexcessive 2014-12-10 21:17

Hi there. Fun idea. Like the voices. Good job!

badlydrawnrod 2014-12-10 22:39

My wife did a "Mum plays..." of this game: http://youtu.be/eyIgjesH2cg

lexgear 2014-12-10 23:01

Wow, I didn't expected to get so much positive feedback! I thought, maybe 3 people would play my game. Thank you SO much, I'm so happy I made all of you laugh. "Badlydrawnrod", thank you and your wife for creating that video review, it's really really good. Thanks everyone!

legacycrono 2014-12-10 23:21

This is intense. Also, I shouldn't have played this while hungry, hehe. The graphics are quite good, and the audio is just fantastic. I guess the idea has been done before many times, but the execution was awesome! Had lots of fun! Certainly a must-play from this LD =)
Scored 338 points! I'm a M-M-M-MASTER!

fussycashew 2014-12-11 00:13

Fun game! Its tough to figure out when the different meats are ready since they have different colors and times for perfectness, but it's a learning process. The voice acting was awesome, it really gave the game character.

abdurrahmankh 2014-12-11 02:32

I am super Dad!

this is super awesome! voice acting is good and sounds fits. I wish I had the ability to throw burned food out.
btw how many sons does this dad has :P?

one of the few LD entries that I play multiple times. and I still wanna play more

qristofer 2014-12-11 12:03

Brilliant! Always wondered what it'd be like flipping. Fun game.

louie 2014-12-11 12:39

Now I want a buuuuurger patty. How many kids does this guy have, haha. At first I was overwhelmed, which I think is a good thing, because the theme is supposed to show how stressful it is to be the bbq dad, right? Then I learned about how i can usually have at least 1 steak going even when no orders, because they will want it eventually. Bacon cooks really fast! Sausages and burgers cook pretty fast too, and I like how they are simplified versions of the main mechanic, because it might be too much if I had to learn to tell shades of burgers and shades of bacon, etc. So I like how those 3 are for the most part about getting it done fast enough, and then the steak is where its all about getting the shade right, which itself is a cool mechanic. I love color based mechanics in games. I got 208 high score! I can see this being an addictive game if there were something more to it than just getting a high score, then some sort of way to upgrade your grill, or spatula, or get meat thermometers, lol. And chef hats...

zyxer 2014-12-12 02:05

Haha, very funny game. I really like the audio!

It would be nice if you could throw out burned or wrongly-chosen food.

asixjin 2014-12-12 03:06

151 points...Not bad for someone who knows nothing about cooking on a grill lol! Very nice game! Kinda reminds me of a simple version of diner dash

franklins-ghost 2014-12-14 02:03

Fun entry with great audio, couldn't help but laugh at some of the dialogue.

warboys 2014-12-15 12:57

198! I'm super average... so sad. I guess I've got to pre-emptively cook stuff to get the high scores... that sounds like a very irresponsible dad to me!

Very fun game and, like everyone else has said, amazing voicework. One of my favourites so far!

I want a BUUURGER PADDY!

metalchouchen 2014-12-16 01:03

Nice idea, but better visual feedback could be cool. Also, sad we cannot turn de meat.
I made 64 :) (not a lot...)

phocker 2014-12-16 04:10

loved this game - made me feel right at home - awesome

rjhunter 2014-12-16 05:26

I love the voice acting, although there's so much going on at once that the words get a bit lost.

Hilarious game concept, and well-executed too.

xanjos 2014-12-21 22:06

Was a bit hard at first (I am so horrible at cooking steak XD) but then once I got the hang of it, it became more progressively fun (Managed to get a high score of 258) plus the voice acting was hilarious.

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-22 19:56

I love games about food. Well done. I Included it in part 16 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/3EfYtGD2H88

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-28 19:04

I also included your game in an article of my favorites! http://fireside.gamejolt.com/post/jam-favorites-ludum-dare-31-huv4hmz6
