I think this is my favorite of all the games I have reviewed so far. Exceptional art and mood for the whole game. Such a simple mechanic but executed beautifully. Sort of like Overcooked. Spectacular job, I really enjoyed it!
I weren't able to click on the heart... Unsure if I need to click some other place Very cool gfx
Nevermind - I'm just dumb and didn't read the manual
Best entry I've seen so far
I think this is my highest rating yet. Although this isn't really my kind of game, the polish is just absurdly high, the mood is a pure 10 and it felt really good when I got into the flow of fulfilling orders back to back.
Ok, this is on a professional level. Everything just <3
Its awsome that you managed to do this in that little amount of time. Great Game :)
Nice graphics and personal game concept.
The graphics are really awesome! Sound is also really good. The gameplay is solid (and gets pretty challlenging!) and everything is so well polished. Excellent job!
The music and graphics is really good. The gameplay is simple and fun. Overall a fun and really well polished game. Well done.
Cool, the graphics are very well done for such a short amount of time! The gameplay is also very fun, I like the mechanics. Got hard very quickly, but that was just fun! Good job on making such responsive mechanics man!
This game is really something. It's very interesting to play and hard to stop. Music adds tension! The whole idea is unique and great, well done, wish you luck!
Very nice game with a nice ramp up in difficulty, it took me a moment to get the hang of it but not very long. I really enjoyed the graphics and sound, and I think there's plenty of game there without it being too much.
It can get a little bit repetitive but thats only after you've played for a while.
Employee of the month! Cute game, amazing polish everywhere! You know you goofed when your boss is looking over your shoulder for an entire level haha.
The art and music is really awesome.
the art and music are really cool and polished! Gameplay delivers and is fun and enjoyable!
Yay, employee of the month! So the gameplay is bacic but well executed. Of course the art is sooo pretty! Very well made game.
Omg, I love it! Style is so creepy cute :) The gameplay is simple, but doing its job well.
Great art style and fun game play!
This is an amazing entry. Love the artstyle and the music fits so well!
It's a simple game but it was funny !
This art is awesome!!!
Lovely Game. Great use of an intuitive but progressively challenging mechanic, and very charming art style and music.
Awesome art, love it! The level design, the progression is good too, I commend the programmer too, which is always forgotten, haha. (i'm a programmer too).
The only point that I think can improve is the mechanics that are very common, though I liked it a lot.
Simple mechanics but still very addictive, and also great graphics.
Wow, I'm floored by the production values here! I can't believe this was done in a week!
Everything is solid to amazing, with the art design being the major standout. Props to the art team!
In terms of critique, there isn't a whole lot I can give gameplay-wise. It accomplishes what it sets out to do and does it very well. If I had to critique something, it would probably be the feedback from completing an order. The register sound coupled with the character simply disappearing is perhaps the least polished aspect of a remarkably polished product. If you choose to proceed with this design further, I'd recommend having unique sound clips for the patrons when they get their order served, perhaps even a unique animation or a simple starburst to show you completed their order in a visually pleasing way.
Great job, huge props to the team here!
The overall mood and artwork are so totally on point! The "looming boss meter", especially, is a stroke of genius. It all works very well - what you have is coherent and complete.
Of course, the gameplay is very simple. But you made a smart choice in that it enabled you to just add loads of monsters/customers, which is where all the flavour lies.
Aww this is cute. Everything is well integrated and thematically consistent--does a very good job of making all the game mechanics make sense in the world rather than stapled on. For example, it took me a while to realize this but you could actually serve customers' orders in any order. Very useful if you made a mistake that turned out to be half of someone else's order!
Really spectacular job. The presentation here is so beautiful, it looks like a legitimately released game. Seriously, the art is just so good. Great, simple gameplay and a solid hook make this game very impressive.
Great art, awesome feel. A future version could maybe have more variety. I think sometimes I did the right order but it still didn't work, but some little bugs are to be expected in a jam game. Overall I loved it though.
Man... Love it s2 Tank you for this beautiful game.
Loved it! I could relate to the characters and the storyline. There's not much depth to the game mechanic, but that simplicity was well-justified I felt. Well done!
As plenty of people mentioned before, art and music are __outstanding__, but unfortunately, the game is a bit lacking in the gameplay department. Wish there was more variety, perhaps even letting the player actually move around to bring orders to the counter would make the game feel a bit more lively.
Solid and polished game! Challenging as well as funny
Great looking game. It also unfortunately made clear that my brain + finger coordination is useless. I hope I don't end up working for the grim reaper.
I pretty much love everything about this game
Amazing game!, love the art. simple but fun. also cool music, kinda monkey island like. :) a few nitpicks, maybe the customers should start to move faster when they get angry, and have like curse symbols around them. And for the loose screen, maybe write something like "your fired!" One more thing, there could be some juicy sound and splatter when you put the items on the table, to make it more gross :) anyway, congrats on finishing a very cool game!
Great style and mechanics! Really enjoyed the dark vibes.
Great game! Good graphics and gameplay (simple but effective). Really hard when the orders keep poping but also enjoyable. The tutorial is really apreciated, thanks! Keep up the good work!
Everything's here! Difficulty, cuteness, weird monsters and you may even be the best employee! I loved playing it, congrats on this awesome entry!
Okay, so I lost after the boss went second step out of his office. I couldn't stop laughing at his expression :rofl: So much character from four static images of the boss. Awesome! Overall, the gameplay is very simple, but feels very well polished. The art and audio are really awesome! Thanks for the laughs!
Pretty simple concept but well executed and surrounded by amazing artstyle, music and sound effects aren't outstanding but fit well with the game. Well done guys and congratulations to the artists for these gorgeous designs!
PS: Loved the boss sneaking through the door :P
This game is the best I've seen around here so far, it's really amazing how fun it is and it gives you such a satisfying sense of urgency with such simple mechanics and controls. You have done a great job, congratulations! I'll play this game a lot.
Harder than it seems ! Especially with the view offset ^^. Really great graphism and variety in customers.
I loved how cute the grim reaper looked haha. Nice job!
Sincerely, such a great game. Well thought out gameplay and complementary artwork/audio. Congratulations to the whole team!
One of the best jam games I've ever played!
Absolutely beautiful, all of the art elements are awesome, the character, the monsters, the environment, omg!
The gameplay is very satisfying too, it's simple, engaging, rewarding and addictive! My only complaint is that I wanted more xD. I found it rather easy, on my first playthrough I only slipped once. I think if it had like 3 more levels with increasing difficulty it would be more challenging and even more rewarding.
The music fits the game perfectly, and it's not dull: I'm writing this listening to it on the background and it doesn't become tiresome.
It's cute, fun and very polished, congratulations!
Very pretty game!
This game is hard. The graphics are, obviously, fantastic.
Very well polished! The art is amazing and has a lot of charm. I love how fat the grim reaper is. Gameplay seems simple but is pretty challenging. Overall an excellent game!
super great game, really fun and the art is wonderful!
Fantastic art, wonderful game :)
Cool game. It's like an overcooked without the movement. The art and music was great. The theme was well respected. I don't if the isometric view was a choice to confuse the player but sometimes I was confused by the position of the elements in relation to arrow keys. But it was a cool experience overall. Good work !
Very nice game which focus on a really simple mechanic
nice game, I love how I panicked at some point mixing everthing's up, the state i would be in real life at such a job lol.
would have been cool to add Q and Z key thoug for azerty keyboard scheme since it doesn't cost much. And a key in the "level win' screen to access the next screen since it's a keyboard game, preventing lazy ass like me to move their hands.
Nice entry !
Very nice. Beautiful artwork, reminds me of something I might have seen on cartoon network. Great job overall. Challenging and fun!
Very charming game, and fantastic artwork. It was a lot of fun to play and very well paced.
I really liked the boss who slowly creeps in through the door every time you mess up, it really adds to the atmosphere!
Love the art, great number of characters, also good music. The game really ramps up a lot once you have three items.
The most interesting game I have played in this game jam. Like it, thank you
I couldn't really wrap my head around the controls, I guess that's because they aren't lined up in front of the character. Perhaps it's easier if they are all lined up and you use 1,2,3 to select and space to submit. Other than that, was it a great submission to this ludum dare.
Amazing art and mood, the reaper opening the door as you fail is awesome...
You could enhance the experience with some ambience sfx, like the customers talking with small reverb to add more depth, volumerty to the scene and also presence to the characters...
Some feedback from the customers getting inside like a wind chimesfollowed by a door slam... Once the reaper appears, you could add a lock sfx from the door oppening and a small squeak...
Incredibly polished and fun experience! The music is stuck in my head and I adore the art style! https://youtu.be/lVCsQbSi-js
