This could be a really cool mobile game in the future! Very well done and very funny.

The artstyle is amazing and the music complements it well, however I am not sure if the part where the king speaks is supposed to be text that doesn't make sense or if I did something wrong.

The Ta Ta Ta Ta sounds get annoying relatively quickly and is unfortunate since the music is so good.

Overall, pretty solid and intuitive game.

Lol! I got to the end on the first try. Great visuals and sublime audio (obviously). It's set to Russian by default which was a little confusing, but that's okay. Great use of a simple mechanic overall.

I would say you guys nailed it on the polish, you definitely fit a lot of stuff in there in a weekend, and it looked good to boot! It seemed like there were situations where you could get into an un-winnable state.. like on the second level, it seemed like there were enough bad food items in a row where his hunger bar depleted before anything came. It was also somewhat difficult to tell whether an item was good or not, but that may have just been me. Still, very nicely done!

The "voice" of the king is awesome and adds a tremendous lot to the game. The gameplay itself is really fun, and a nice take on the theme. Also, kudos for great graphics, and for offering the game in two languages !

Strenghts : - Graphics and audio make for a game full of personality - Simple, straightforward gameplay

Possible improvements : - Sometimes the dishes are difficult to see against the background

All in all, great job !

Took me two levels to realize that there was a language selection in the main menu (maybe have english the default language?). Good thing the king spoke the universal language of "dadadada". Fun implementation of the concept!

Very nice and fun game! I like the simple mechanic and I think it's done well, but I think the discarding of food could have more impact and juice. Overall, simple mechanic well executed. I would download a mobile game like this.

way more fun than i expected at first. pretty funny. was kind of hard to focus on what he said at the bottom of the screen and click the things at the same time though. especially when it started moving really fast. great job though!

It's a really funny game, especially voice acting. Voice actor gives all the best on this game, I've played again and again just to listen his "Та-да-та-та" once more!

voidsay 2020-04-21 13:48

Flawless.

See you later comrades!

I like the art style and the audio is hilarious but can get a bit tiring. Gameplay is a bit simple but ok

chevalbancal 2020-04-21 13:49

It was really funny ! I love the vocals and the art style. Some food items are hard to tell if they are poison or not at first glance.

ioan-pop 2020-04-21 13:53

Loved the art and sound effects, made for a great atmosphere!

vibromatic 2020-04-21 13:53

Cool artstyle ! Gameplay is simple but it's working smoothly. Cool jam game !

Very short game. 🥺 Simple control but hard to understand what the king can eat. Need a small tutorial about food.

What @sadsmile said. The game is very simple, and very easy to understand. The art and animations were great. Is what the king saying a real language? Because I first thought that I had was are the do makers of the game know English, but then I remembered that your Ludum Dare page is in English and the start menu is also in English.I had a extremely good time playing your game.

karreg 2020-04-21 13:56

Funny game :) Just, I had to retry 5 or 6 times de last level to understand what to do. Oh and the game over sequence scared me XD

hangarter 2020-04-21 13:57

I like, well done, congratulations!

Думаю для вас можно и на русском отзыв оставить. Отличная игра мне понравилось. Думал не найду я здеся русских но всё таки нашёл. Fun game. Simple gameplay does not spoil the impression. Beautiful visual style.

fistfulofdices 2020-04-21 14:00

Funny idea

sunnray 2020-04-21 14:01

Fun game to play, and the difficulty was on point - not too much and still not that easy. The art style and king's responses were hilarious.

freakoftheyear 2020-04-21 14:03

I like that you added different levels and challenges, I had fun playing this! Simple but good.

adsilcott 2020-04-21 14:05

Fantastic entry! The way you made the king really gross is excellent, especially the disgusting intestine meter.

chris-rock 2020-04-21 14:06

This was a lot of fun :) I didn't see the language choice at first so I was guessing but still got through the first 3 stages. I think I did worse when I knew what I was trying to do lol. I love the voice and the art. Good work folks :)

tatetate 2020-04-21 14:10

Very fun and easy to understand, and great humor! Love the fact that it's in multiple languages!

slimbun 2020-04-21 14:10

Very cool game!

arseny 2020-04-21 18:13

This is maaad fun!!!

marakuya 2020-04-21 18:47

Hilarius sound effects and humor!

filip-bergkvist 2020-04-25 12:31

Thank you for playing my game, here's what I think of yours:

I love the talking sounds! I don't know if it's just gibberish or actually russian, but to me it sounded like fun gibberish, and gave the king loads of character! That every level had it's own rules made it more varied, however the levels seemed to change too much based on the rules, which made it quite obvious what to avoid. If, say, there were fewer items but the same every time, then a big change would have to make you think more. Now, on the drink level it was mostly just drinks, which made it very easy to remove the other items. Still though, it was fun that you changed it up!

The music is great! The sound effects were sometimes a little too loud, causing clipping but I still liked them and they fit the game really well.

A tip for the fututre: I know that you guys are russian, but I think that a large majority of your players will want the game in english, so maybe you should default to that and just have a russian option? I am biased though since I don't speak russian haha.

Well done! I really like it.

really funny, the kings voice made my day also nice game over screen

altough i think the progress bar was a bit shitty if you know what i mean

ziamor 2020-05-03 02:18

This is the funniest entry I've played so far.
