Really cool game ! Very hard but engaging ! great work :)
Love the music and sounds! I think with more time you could tweak the difficulty, because at the moment all the conveyor belts start too soon to even get 1 or 2 dishes out the way.
Wow, great work! Simple but working idea, nice music and magnificent sound effects. And, of course, high difficulty
Great music, but it was hard to play for me, especially when the plates arrives randomly at the same time. Wish the gameplay was wa bit smoother. Well done
This is a cool entry.
It feels really good when you get in the flow and get on top of everything, and I liked how responsive the controls were.
I think this might be better with slightly fewer conveyors, and a bit more of a limit on when you can use hold? In the current version it feels like using hold as much as possible is just too powerful of a strategy, and just slowly letting one item come along at a time.
I love this take on Tapper! It's simple and intuitive yet challenging.
I wonder if it would be enjoyable for the player if they can catch a falling dish, getting that "Whew! Just in the nick of time!" feeling.
The music is enjoyable and seems to fit the mood of the game just right, and the barks made me laugh. Well done on Audio!
Unfortunately, it took me awhile to figure out what the "Fire" button was. As far as I know, the mouse isn't used in the game except to click the button on the conveyor belt you're in front of at the time, and so I was trying all of the keyboard buttons that I thought made sense and even some that I didn't before I accidentally figured out to use the left mouse button.
Once I did, the challenge felt a lot better, as I could recognize that if I would have paused THIS belt at THAT time I might have done better this round. It opens up the game play a lot in a way that I didn't expect. Well done!
Fire is actually the 'Z' key....I've got so used to making C64 games where 'Z' for fire is a standard in the browser emulator I forgot to mention it....
Fun game! The gameplay is simple yet fun and pausing the conveyor belts creates plenty of strategies. I did find the game spawning food that would fall at the same time meaning it was impossible to catch both, but it could be that I am just not very good. Had a lot of fun with this one, nice work!
Dang this is difficult! But I think once I started making use of the stop/start ability I was able to get further into the game. That mechanic adds a good amount of depth! I like the overall look, but the thing I really liked was the music. Real good bop! It was the main driving force for me to try to keep the dishes going!
Nicely done! My highest score was 6559.
What a difficult game! I like it. The pause/resume mechanic on the conveyors is very unique - I've never seen something like that before.
Playing the game was very intuitive, the visual and audio feedback helped a lot in understanding what was going on very quickly. If the beeping was different for each belt or the light more obvious against the large screen then it would have been easier to keep track of things and be able to keep track of it all in your head. It was nice sense of pressure throughout and the steadily building up of anxiety inducing tension. Nice work.
Loved this puzzle game! Really challenging (I think the game should start even more slow).
You have to plan a lot in advance. Really liked this mechanic.
This was as frustratingly fun as the inspiration game. I loved the voice acting!
Music and sounds were great! Loved the voice acting.
Really enjoyed the gameplay. Wish I could mess up a few more times before losing, like maybe sending a dish down the wrong lane wasn't the same as letting one drop.
Quarter!
