You know, the whole time I was playing the game I thought "how does _this_ fit the theme?". And then it hit me like a food truck. I'm DEEP-frying chicken. Brilliant take on the theme.

I had fun playing this. The controls can be finetuned a bit, maybe instead of WASD using a mouse would have been easier. Funny take on the theme. Good job overall!
Ha. Nice take on the theme. The game is a bit rough around the edges, but it only adds to the humor. Nicely done.
Good joke. Nice play on the theme
Very enjoyable! My one nitpick is that having to use both the control key and WASD can cause some annoying accidents if you end up pressing both at the same time.
Nice game. The name made me laugh. Great looking game. Cool idea. I wasn't able to pick up anything with the gloved hand but i was able to pick up everything with the other hand, including the hot fry basket. Nice polish, fun game.
Lovely game, now i'm hungry.
Funny concept pretty well executed! The controls had a bit of input lag (at least on my end) but this only made it funnier with a 'drunken' sort of delay to the movement.
Nice idea! I really had fun while playing it. The graphics could be improved but other than that it is a really fun game :) Great job!
It is definitely clear that I will never become a cook hahaah
the most annoying hand in the world. I loved it.
Wow, amazing that you did this in a game jam's worth of time. I love how I always miss the square that sends my orders to the customers when I drop the packed food but it still flys away anyway. Nice job!
What a cool take on the theme! A lot of work obviously went into this one, I really enjoyed it. I think I may have encountered a glitch when it got to two seasoned whole chickens - at first I did a skinny whole chicken and then a fat one, and they took the box but didn't give it back and it didn't clear the board. So then I did two skinny whole chickens (without restarting), and they took the box but nothing happened. I'm gonna chalk it up to swindling customers who want more chicken for free, ha. Great entry :D :D
I really had to laugh when I first dropped the chicken wing :D It fits perfectly together - music, sizzling sound, movement and graphics.
Your game made me hungry haha. I found your game very fun, although I got a little confused with the controls, but then I got used to it. The graphics are beautiful, and the music is relaxing, I got to laugh in a few moments haha. The only point I didn't understand much was your interpretation of the theme (but I don't know if it was your intention to do something lighter and not follow the theme so strictly. Anyway ok). Good work!
I had some trouble getting the game to work. First, I couldn't get the chicken leg to go inside the duck, so then I restarted, but then I couldn't get the order to advance despite the box disappearing, and then my hands got stuck to each other as a result of trying to pick up a takeout container that was about to fall into the oil. Still, it's a cool idea; I really like how it captures the idea of deeper (in the oil) and deeper (nested inside more birds).
So two things up front: who taught you how cooking works and do you also have a vegan option? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I got a little bit confused by the breaded chicken leg having a different image than the unbreaded chicken leg, so i tried every combination of stuffings and finally figured it out.
Funny idea, especially with the recursion. Nice work.
Interesting concept, mainly reminds of Surgeon Simulator! Nice graphics and sound effects.
Some remarks: 1. Physics need some polishing: fried chicken frequently goes through container. 2. Shadows could be placed right under the hands and used to inform about their position. 3. Additional button could be used to slow down hands and move them more precisely.
Good job!
HILARIOUS! Funny game, extremely creative
Nice idea and nice 3D modelling! Unfortunately I found the controls very difficult to use which made it a bit hard to actually enjoy the gameplay.
Love the idea behind this one, trying to master using both hands for speed is a real challenge! I played until both my hands got stuck in the take-home containers trying to put the legs in haha. Creative and fun, great job!
cool game
Pretty funny idea for the theme. I found the controls difficult which added to the humor. It was a bit hard to tell where your hand was positioned though so I dropped a lot of chicken into the wrong spot.
Really like the concept, it was pretty funny trying to get the orders together. The controls were definitely awkward and unconventional (Which seemed like the intent) which created some moments of chaos.
I would only suggest bounding the hands to separate side of the play area to make it easier for the player to mentally map the controls and avoid switching sides(which caused a bit of a headache for me).
Definitely a very unique game, excited to see where it goes after the jam!
Thank you everyone for the support and feedback! The controls need some tweaking, but we do enjoy the chaos that players get from a little imprecision.
@cinderblock I couldn’t have asked for a better first comment. Thank you!
@milano23 one side uses shift and the other side uses ctrl to pick up. Sorry it’s confusing, we’re still thinking about the best interact button for each hand.
@nvrskipgameday the icons are a little ambiguous, that’s definitely on the list to fix next. We didn’t have time to implement a trash can for tossing out rejects. The window was the next best thing. It’s not an environmentally friendly game.
@epiglottalaxolotl thanks for the bug updates. We’ll check our scripts
@potti I can’t believe we didn’t think of a vegan option off the bat, but we definitely want to make additional more complex stages. Vegan will be the first thing on the menu.
@retrome thanks for the feedback. This will help a lot as we tweak the controls.
I love the idea and this nice cover art. As already mentioned there are some rough edges and I also don't seem to be able to complete level 3 (or 4?) (I can only do one delivery and every one after that get rejected. I restarted multiple times and tried it with both big forms without any luck) I would suggest to use IJKL instead of (or additionally to) the arrow keys. The right ctrl button just feels a bit weird.
Anyways, great entry!
@oadt IJKL + Right Shift is actually already in there as an alternate control scheme for the right hand. We debated which one to put in the help screens. For the getting stuck it sounds like you might not be correctly stuffing birds together. You can make a ducken by stuffing cooked chicken into a duck and a turducken by stuffing a cooked ducken into a turkey.
@eharp Thanks, you are right! (Sorry, I did not see the 25 bones on the turkey :sweat_smile:) I adapted the theme rating
Made me question if I had trouble with left-right coordination, nonetheless very funny and creative interpretation for the theme :)
I did find the perspective confusing to navigate (unless it was intended). If not, a straight top-down perspective would be nice as an option :) ... "What do you mean it's over-cooked, it's obviously just extra extra crispy!"
Nice take on the theme. The left hand controls didn't work on mac for me though. (couldn't use left ctrl, shift or cmd to lower the left hand)
@mactinite It's not documented in the tutorial screen but E should also work for the interact button on the left hand.
Fun idea. Hard to know what to do.
Great little idea and unique take on the theme. The controls make my brain go funny but that's totally the point. Had a good laugh with this one. Good job.
I like how you interpreted the theme, and I put chicken everywhere but in the box. At least I did not burn my hand ;-)
3d games are really not easy in game jam. Although the operation is not very smooth, but quite interesting
Fantastic humorous take on the theme! A bit hard to control but I kind of feel like that was part of the game.
