Game is fun, but not as good as I hope so. Averagly fit into the theme.. Not good graphics, maybe next time.
One last note: I always write down honest review, because everybody need that, not just nice craps with some bullshit, but sometime I will aperceite very good games. So if this review insult you, but use it well :) Anyway every game is counting so :)
I liked it, especially given how little time you had. The controls don't feel very smooth, but they have good potential. A fun and unique game mechanic idea. Good job, given you didn't have the whole weekend!
Cool idea, a little challenging at first, but that could be a good thing. Definitely a good job for the limited time.
Cool game! Get's quite challenging as the game progresses.
Neat game concept! A little hard to control, though - I think the balancing mechanic would have worked a little better if the balancing keys were on a separate hand from movement.
I've never played a pizza balancing game, so this is certainly a first! The multitasking is a fun challenge, but the controls are definitely not fun.
Love it. The difficulty lies in the choice of control-keys (all with one hand). Maybe it would be more enjoyable if you had both hands for input and thus lasted longer into the level - overall a fun thing to play! True GameJam material!
A masterpiece. My only request would be to be able to play it with two hands, so maybe doing the balancing with the arrow keys. Also idk if the everyhting moving slower with every pizza is a feature or lag. Other than that, one of the best LD games I played so far. Had fun all the way through and laughed a lot at the fist time the pizza guy crouched :joy:
I like the art of the main character, it's a simple style but he's pretty charming. Especially his death sprite is just great. The main gameplay concept is cool, I love games where you have to balance multiple tasks at the same time (here moving and literal balancing). Unfortunately the control scheme really isn't suited for this. Since there are only 2 tasks to control ideally you would be able to control each one with one hand. Therefore I think the Q and E keys for balancing are a really poor choice, as they make it really hard to effectively use both hands. The gameplay was still screaming for me to use both hands, so I ended up having to make both hands occupy the same space and it was really awkward and uncomfortable (but to me seemed necessary to progress because it was really hard to do everything with one hand). Though, I am really glad you made the pizzas balance by a separate input rather than the momentum or direction of your movement , which I makes the concept vastly better.
Also shoutout to the NES style jumps with no air control that lock you in a certain arc. They are a uniquely frustrating thing to see in games, but it's not as bad because it does fit the style of the game here (and gives you a chance to focus on just balancing).
A fun little game. The graphics are good, I really like the fire sprite. Tbh there is nothing much I can add that others haven't already said. I agree with the controls, especially when trying to control the character with one hand.
Hah, very smart mechanics. Made me play with 2 hands smashing AWSDQE simultaneously! :smile:
Pretty cool! Difficult to control with all those keys so close together tho haha, a two-hand mode would have been nice. Funny game, nice humour, and cute graphics. Only wish there was some cool music!
