So I'm not really sure what to do... got the meat when the meat guy came up but not sure where to put it, it doesn't seem to want to interact with anything. Also took me a minute to jump back up to the top when I fell to the bottom :P If you want to check out ours too would appreciate it :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/shipwrecked-on-robot-island

This was really really good. Took me a second to figure out where it showed the ingredients I needed but as soon as I had that, it was good fun! Really good job guys!

The game is excellent. The music is just really repetitive and the platforms are hardcore sometimes haha. Letting the player use a controller would be nice. But your concept is really good and that could make a sellable mobile game for sure, you should keep upgrading it!

Awesome graphics! Despite is a bit hard to control it (maybe ASWD + keys to jump/attack or ASWD + mouse to jump/attack would be better), the atmosphere of this game is great. Congratulations of your game!!

jesper-fyhr-knudsen 2018-04-26 19:26

Your game looks amazing is a very fun, really strong effort in just 24h !

anagf 2018-04-26 19:28

I enjoyed it, I like the combination of themes! And I love the art, specially the meat dungeon with that giant ram skull. It has a lot of work, well done!

pebkac 2018-04-26 19:30

Haha, nice one. Looks like we drew inspiration from the same vein!

stoffe 2018-04-26 19:31

Fun game, was a bit hard, perhaps could have given the player more time for each meal you finish. Anyway, very unique combinations of genres, never heard of a kitchen/gatherer before... probably because of a good reason ;-)

Good game :)

vojtiman 2018-04-26 20:02

Really liked the gameplay and love the graphics! :-)

tommohawkaction 2018-04-26 20:35

Thanks for the reviews guys :)

Great game, I love your concept, kind of unique! I also liked a lot the graphic, good job! If you don't mind try another cooking game, could you try my game? Here's the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/casual-title

Good game and really cool graphics!! The music is so familiar for me so I used the same soundtrack as yours in my game hahah check it out if you have a moment! I think it works in both games ;) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/alien-sports

japes 2018-04-26 20:55

Great idea! The art and sound are great in this. I like the chop animation. Some constructive criticism: - the fact that you had to double-jump almost every time was a bit annoying - I would've made the kingdom a bit smaller, is a bit of a mission to go all the way down and up every time

yohoho-games-2 2018-04-26 20:55

good work for 48 hours, nice graphic and original gameplay of different genres, thanks!

solnak 2018-04-26 21:18

The pixel art is really beautiful and the gameplay feels great ! The music part feel weird for the universe you created though. Nice game overall !

rodrigo-denubila 2018-04-27 02:26

Very beautifull game! You guys did a really good job in the art of the game. The game also seems very polished too.

My criticisms are that after some time the game is a little bit repetitive, and I don't think the music fits with the art in general.

Please, take a look at my game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/confessional

notpresident35 2018-04-27 02:43

Good job! I love the art and audio! The theme fits very well, and the game is genuinely fun. I do wish that you added more time so that you had time to go down and get three pieces of meat for a single order (or allowed you to carry multiple things, that would work.

redhatto 2018-04-27 15:35

The game looks great! The character, environments look super solid. Makes the whole experience much more pleasant. I gotta say the animations are also really cool. I like the dynamic attack animation, and also shaking screen! It's cool that whole game is based around 3 seperate environments, vertically and the lower you get the creepier it becomes with dungeons in basement. Good job guys ;) !!

elfcirynn 2018-04-28 17:28

Really enjoyed the game, the character art and animations were cool, really liked the background pixel art and the customers. Would have enjoyed some more sound effect variation and maybe a sprint option for running down your ingredients. More cooking steps would have been cool.

tommohawkaction 2018-04-28 17:30

@Elfcirynn Thanks for trying out our game on Twitch, much appreciated!

chriiis88 2018-04-28 19:23

First of all let me say that I really like the idea of the game and that I had quite a lot of fun with the execution of it (even more impressive considering you did it in 24h). Remember this, when you read the following list of things I did not like ;)

- there is no hint anywhere that you can double jump! this is vital! - there is now way to exit out of the game - I had to manually tab out of the game to disable the music for it in Windows, because the background music, to me, was very annoying after 1 minute (sorry) - have some indicator of which ingredients the player needs to collect apart from the ones in the kitchen. Running all the way down just to have forgotten something is demotivating. - there are too many tiny platforms for my liking that are also too close together. Try and make things more open, give the player more space to play with the (excellent) jump and double jump. Btw, make platforms that are reachable with a single jump - I don't think there's a single one, making the single jump useless! - sometimes the background and the foreground are not differentiable, meaning more than once I ran into some wall that I thought was part of the background

Again, please don't take these points the wrong way. Your game IS impressive for 24hs of work and fun to play.

Cheers.

tommohawkaction 2018-04-28 21:15

@chriiis88 Thanks. I totally agree with you. If more people wanted us to carry on with this game then those ideas you've pointed out will be essential things to fix. Thanks again :)

I'm glad, I watched the tutorial first. Fun game, once you get the hang of it - I like the genre combo and the graphics especially. My only point of critique is the audio - the sfx are a bit unbalanced/jarring, but that is really minor. Good job!

rs11s21n 2018-05-01 15:20

interesting concept lovely graphic and not bad game play... hmm if you planing end this game good luck -+-(tutorial like my, hmm pixel art like my, have problems like my XD)

julink 2018-05-01 17:26

The graphics are just amazing! Really cool and nice game!

firesplash-entertainment 2018-05-09 18:15

Hey thanks for rating CornWars - Just played your game live on stream and left a rating.

2021-05-06 13:49

So useful post, thanks for sharing it. Anyway, I need to find new equipment in my kitchen. So in this case I need to have the best site where I can look for it

2021-06-24 18:07

Excelent work! I love this game! I'm a game programmer too and I believe the kitchen is the heart of a house, back in antiquity houses were build with the kitchen in the center, I used to hate the kitchen because mine was badly designed, the oven door wouldn't open, some doors and were useless, all kind of stuff, fortunately I found a service online to redesign and get quality cabinetry, if you are interested check their website: https://kitchensearch.com/
