The emerging game mechanics are interesting and fun. Nice example of a good explored mechanichs. More you play more you get skilled. Good job!

A lovely mechanic with some really evil timing, would totally buy on steam.

kasperhangard 2020-04-22 17:22

really well thought out mechanics. really liked the idea. well done!

Pretty tricky game. Liked it :)

Nice graphics and a fun mechanic - a lovely little game! Maybe make the cooldown on each piston a bit shorter, it was a little frustrating to miss and have to wait a good couple of seconds before the piston worked again.

This was a really great mechanic and I thought the difficulty progression was really nice. Definitely a lot of potential here. Some nicer art and sound would really take this to the next level.

Innovating game quite fun and quitte challenging, good work !

ryan123rudder 2020-04-23 21:04

Pretty fun!

this is seriously stressful, love the concept. a little bit of polishing would be great, wenn it comes to the rotation and the catapult action, love the different levels, since it makes it different and not boring, and the approving "good job" at the end of a level. great work!

That was very fun, and the level starting to be more and more of a mess to manage :laughing: Still manage to somehow fulfill some orders! Really well done! :v:

Super fun. Just the right level of progression of difficulty in my opinion. I liked how the levels kind of taught you how to play the game and how each level explored the mechanic more than the last.

Wow, as the levels went on i really started to get muddled with which plate wanted what! Fun little entry with a good idea and nice simplistic artstyle, good job!

This was great! Nice simple concept but well thought through and really fun.

alexascher 2020-04-27 20:06

easy to start, hard to master

Very nice game! The direction of the treadmill was hard to see :/. Other than that great game! Nice mechanics and just the right amount of complexity added with each level! Also the levels were quite forgiving, so I could go through them all without getting stuck / having to quit before completing, which is also nice. :D

Idea is cool, and design of levels is pretty smart, great job!

This was good fun. The timing was a bit tricky, particularly when you got two food items overlapping.

grigri-games 2020-05-06 16:55

pretty nice polished game, just wish it was not that hard :)

whismirk 2020-05-08 19:03

Pretty funny and lighthearted game. It was really simple at the beginning, but I was surprised how clever the level design gets.

curtamyth 2020-05-09 03:52

It's interesting, it's difficult, I like it. I do agree with the previous commenter who said the piston cooldown should be shorter, as is it feels unresponsive.

ist interesting, and fun, the learning curve a little bit easier, good work! comida.jpg

Love it. Apart from the really novel (and fun!) gameplay, my favourite part is how much room you gave yourself to explore what you can do with that one mechanic, and the interesting levels that came out of it.

I think you could add other contraptions (e.g. a catapult, or having things that change the state of the food). I also wonder how it would feel like if you had to click the contraptions instead of using keyboard buttons.

In summary, a novel mechanic well explored. Great job!
