5 stars!
Gaphics are simple and I loved it.
But the game is quite hard to take in hand. Maybe the first step should be easier.
No way to tell how far up the pancake will flip. Hilarious though. 5 in humor for sure.
Very funny! Like others have stated I cant see the theme in here and also graphics are kind of lackluster
I replayed more than a dozen times but I can't survive more than 3 seconds. I quickly flip the pancake up but as soon as the flames surround the first guy the game ends. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
@kapura Are you passing to the next chef?
- A/Space to charge flip - Hit chef above with pancake, avoiding the walls
If that doesn't work let me know, must be a bug :D
Funny and gameplay actually sucked me in for quite some time. A little bit unintuitive at first, but gets better the more your play. I'd appreciated some simple satisfying sound of a pancake flip.
@catspawsgames thankyou! I'm gutted I didn't have time for sound effects, I had uni lectures on the 3rd day :)
i love your game! Simple graphics and funny gameplay!
When I saw the second picture on your page, I laughed out loud! Great gameplay. I actually loved the graphical style, simple and it makes it really really clear what's happening. Try as I might have, I only ever got to three. I got close to four a few times, but some crazy thing happened every time. This would be a great casual game on a phone!
The game was funny! and the simple art sdtyle was pretty cool. the flames were also done well
The title screen is nice and clean so are the gameplay graphics for the most part. I'd suggest doing something with the fire though, particle effects are pretty fun to get into and I'd maybe suggest doing something like this https://media.giphy.com/media/l0HlTy9x8FZo0XO1i/giphy.gif where the fire starts out a orange yellowish color and turns to red and grows transparent. The mechanic is great and love the way the pancake flips (though not sure why it's red thought it was a burger ;D) wish it had some audio ;b Great job!
Our team does a weekly indie gamedev podcast called Nice Games Club, and we just did a Let's Play episode where we played thirty-six (!!) Ludum Dare 40 games, including yours (which we thought was a excellent prototype)!
