That was fun! I like how you got to sacrifice your worker if you don't have enough money to buy the fruit. I think it fit the theme very well and it make the game more interesting.

I like having the choice of sacrificing the fruit workers or not :) Well done! Love the take on the theme.
Nice work on the theme and design! I felt pretty bad for my workers ahahaha
Would love to have more than one mixer so more things could happen at the same time!
Good job :D
Very nice game, I like the humor. Music is fun and well-suited.
Seems pretty fun!
That was a blast! Really reminiscent of the popular "Diner Dash"-like games of the 2000s.
The graphics and audio were, while crude, both adorable and practical. The faces had a lot of personality to them and I love the way you designed the machines. ("Choppy" got me good)
I love those little fruit people!
Really great work. I honestly have negative bad to say about it. Just all around awesome job. This might be the highest I've ever ended up rating a game :)
Very nice entry! I've made 18 customers and then boss fired me:) It has quite monotonouse in the middle, but anyway it's good balanced and interesting!
lovely little game you got there! a bit too stressful and hectic for me atleast! as zeaga said it brings back a lot of memories from my childhood games. solid entry, good job!
Your game was played on my stream ( twitch.tv/ursagames ) for the second day of Ludum Dare streams - you can find the timestamp of your game here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8
Screenshot (15).png Nice Game like the mechanics and Theme idea Whats the record :) i got 22
The fact that you can sacrifice a work is a nice addition to the game. The game mechanics seem perfect. I suggest creating an interactive tutorial. Admittedly, it took me a couple of reads to figure out the instructions. A very fun entry!
Feels bad sacrificing a worker haha! To be perfectly honest this is not a genre of game I like to play, but I had a cool moment testing out your game and I loved the audio atmosphere btw
Lovely atmosphere! The game feels a bit slow, and somewhat unsustainable. I think this company would have gone out of business long ago!
Interesting concept! The artstyle is simple, but work well with the game. Good job!
Well my 7 years old niece like it. I was playing it 3 turn before she wants to try it. she played it for half an hour. she has to cover her ear and run out of the door when she has to sacrifice the real life fruit ( she called it that). of course after 20 smoothies or so she got bored and back to roblox she said. anyway the rating, she's gonna give the star.
Hey this one was funny :) I really liked the animations and the mood of the game. The music was also very fitting. The mechanics could have been a bit more "fluid" and "smoother", if you know what I mean. ;) I liked that you emphasize we should not put the workers under the knives. :D Also, smoothies <3
The game made me chuckle. Loved the animations and the music. I tried being ethical, seemed I needed to sacrifice people faster. The smoothie company is just not very profitable. Still was fun.
A very well made and super funny little game. It felt a bit slow, but I like slow games, so for me it was good. Overall a good LD game. Well done.
good graphics and sound ! Good job
Well, that was hilarious. I found it way more amusing to sacrifice the fruit workers than to actually win. I wish the blend button was a little bigger. Did you know that the customers keep getting unhappier if you leave the lose screen going? I hope that was on purpose, seeing them red and knowing they were getting unhappier and unhappier after I was fired made me feel good.

Oh my god, i am laughing LOUD at this. I took seriously the advice of not putting them in the conveyor belt until i realize that SACRIFICES MUST BE DONE!
The core mechanic is really simple and easy to understand, and i really liked the implementation. While the graphics are simple and a bit unpolished, i guess it contributes to the humorous approach.
The voice acting is something apart. It really makes the game something better.
You know what, i am going to play it again only to hear the voices of the fruits being slaughtered.
Really nice job!
This was funny. Poor little workers. For what it is I enjoyed it and it was a good challenge
Hey! We had pretty much the same idea with almost the same mechanics - only you got yours to actually work and be a game with a goal ;)
I love the audio and the overall aesthetic. Great job!
Poor fruit workers hahaha! I like the way you use the theme, uncommon idea, really clever! Fun game!
The factory is running out of money so sacrifices has to be made. That means you my fruit shaped factory workers! Mmmm tasty..
Overall solid entry. Relaxing game with chill mood. Maybe the fruit workers sound little bit too annoying. Otherwise great game.
Oh, that's fun! Simple mechanics with a lot of management and time-pressured decisions. Very creative concept. Graphics, sounds and theme fit well. Can only suggest to add price labels for ingredients and orders (to prioritize effectively) and some kinda tutorial (as it took few rereads to figure out what to do). Great game!
As a vegan, I sure love ethical smoothies! I also love murdering fruit! I found this to be a very fun and original interpretation of the theme, so well done! Slightly worried that Ethical Smoothies Co. seems to be operating at a loss, though...
Haha! The art and the sounds were really cute and fit this game well. Great job!
