This looks fun, but it would be nice if a dropbox login weren't required.

I love the cardboard art, very cute. Gameplay wise, it was pretty hard and stressful! But that might just be me, I'm not a big fan of the diner dash type games. I was also confused about what was accepted, it seemed like I could somewhat just throw shapes on the plate and serve it just fine.

Dawdawdo, i'm sorry about that, we'll work a itch page so it can be downloaded from there, i'm sorry.

Fun game! Neat concept, was pretty entertaining. My only issue was the menu animations were too slow, which made it hard to find the shapes when crunched for time.

igorsouza 2016-04-19 03:55

Brice, yeah about the shapes and the plate, further we'll work to improve that, is because the size of the silhouette in relation to the pieces.

The art was cool. -- Full screen didn't work right for me, it cut off the right most section of the picture, but it showed the whole thing in windowed mode.

Unable to mount cookies. Kudos on the graphics though!

Very charming!

Very nice feel to the game. Super hard to get the dishes in on time!

Good game. the music was good and the graphics were awesome!
I had an issue at first seeing the swap recipe arrows, it would be great if they were bigger! At times I couldn't see what customers were ordering due to the cards and menu plaque. Also it was rather difficult to go from beginning to end of the recipes in good time.

Nice idea for a game, and thas really an awesome game! The graphics and music are really well done. I really such at tangram games, though, but this really don't take out the merit for this game! Nicely done!

Style of the graphics was really nice. Wish there was a better way to choice the correct recipe, switching through the pages to find the ones which was ordered was time consuming and the audio of the unhappy customers made it kinda stressy. Nevertheless it is a nice approach to the theme, good job!

Very hard! I really like the presentation of everything.

Well I must admit i'm a bit disappointed : I was expecting some true tangram action but the recipe shapes and triangles dont match. In the end the game main difficulty is the recipe selection not the shape themselves.
On the other end I must admit a tangram puzzle game with snapping/turning and shape checking is a hard work for a 48h jam. The main ideas of tangram / cookie is very good and I think you could build a postjam vesions with more simple cookie shape ( for start ) and true shape detector + piece snaping. Lot of work, but I the result would worth it !

Admittedly, I played on wine, which might have screwed with some things. If you throw a linux build up I'll happily take another look later. But unity tends to run fine through wine, so I'm going to assume the bugs I encountered are yours and not wine's.

I started off the game trying to form the tangrams, but couldn't find any way to rotate the pieces and all but 3 of them (judging by your screenshot) were offscreen to the right, where I couldn't reach them. So I couldn't cover the entire shape.

This didn't seem to matter though. Just selecting the recipe and hitting 'bake' (With no pieces on the plate) made the customer happy and satisfied.

The audio clips a fuckton. If your audio guy has a preamp, use that, otherwise either find some other way to drop the sensitivity of your mic when you record, or just hold it further away from you. People notice bad audio quality sooner than bad visual quality, remember.

And the animation on the recipe book, while kinda pretty, took ages. If I can only see two recipes at once, I'm gonna be trying to flip through that book pretty fast and if I have to wait a whole second between each flip that's just unpleasantly frustrating.

Once my first day ended, I got a "good job you won, click here to go to the next level" screen, and when I didn't click the next level button for a couple seconds, a "you lost, click here to restart" screen was overlayed on top of the first, not letting me progress.

I have to imagine this isn't your intended end user experience. Remember you're allowed to fix game-breaking bugs and reupload them, just maybe mark the new version as not the original.

amras0000 2016-04-22 06:19

Also, you're missing your source. Fix that asap.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

Cute art

sabina-lis 2016-05-07 03:13

Nice really hard for me, maybe if there was another way to rotate the shapes, or if you could rotate both ways
