Oh this was so fun I love the little cat paw! I really like the physics of it, it's quite hard but it was really cute! Congrats!

I love the game. It really is a good choice for the theme. I haven't see one like this yet. Good Job!

So Fun! Good Job on submitting!

really impressive that you did that in vanilla js. Not much gameplay but on all other fronts it is just great. The graphics look great, it plays smooth, and the idea and "dialog" is very funny

This was hilarious before I even played it.

Simple idea, great execution.

A small margin for failure woulda been nice though, like at least half of the fillings need to stay on the plate but if you lose a piece of bread then you have failed at sandwich satisfaction.

Liked this a lot!

Great game! haven't seen something like this before. I was super impressed with the sandwich physics you made here. How did you manage to keep the sandwich stacked while the player moves so erratically?? One thing I would improve is to maybe add an indicator a short time before the paws come for your plate. As it is now it's pretty much hit or miss whether my sandwich survives or not.

Very cool concept and presentation. I really like how nicely the start screen transitions straight into gameplay. I could never survive more than one cat swipe though!

Really nice job!

feed the cat. Very fun, love the quality of the assets

colineobordello 2022-04-05 20:41

very funny, very nice game. Good Job!

kemsou 2022-04-05 20:41

Very fun game, I actually laughed a lot! :D the concept is very unique and fit with the theme very well. IT can be a bit hard sometimes, the cat is really hard to predict. But sometime the physic give some nice surprises! for one level I finished with almost all my sandwich spilled everywhere in my plate XD

Good job, it's a nice entry :thumbsup:

This is super underrated. A brilliant game, really.

Only got to the second level and the game mechanic is very, very wacky on how it feels to try and keep the sandwich on the plate, but come one, who would have thought about **that** while thinking of the theme? 5 fallen burgers out of 5 :thumbsup:

samburton 2022-04-05 20:42

I really like the art and it was fun to play :3

nardandas 2022-04-05 20:47

Really cool little game! I found actually* avoiding* the animals pretty difficult. I was kinda making it until the bird came in, but after that it was game over. Maybe a little more friendly sandwich physics while moving the plate around would be nice? I super respect the hecticness of recovering when the sandwich is hit, but I want a *little* more maneuverability

jasontherand 2022-04-05 20:47

Amazing, absolutely fabulous game! Every new day brought both joy and terror. The art was super cute, the dialog was funny, and it was fun to play. I was very much not expecting the Saturday animal, it was a very funny surprise. Great job!

kinggurke 2022-04-05 20:51

Brilliant idea, and a really fun execution!

It did feel like the final level was a little easier than the rest, but maybe the first levels just made me a sandwich juggling master ^^

metzkermeister 2022-04-06 00:04

Probably the funniest way to adapt the jams theme I've seen so far. Great game overall! I cant get past that damn bird though. :D

Looks like the website pooped itself again while i was posting a comment, and since i cant delete the extra ones I'm going to edit them to create a comment Sandwich.

this is fantastic! Really funny, and enjoyable physics, cute art style. A great entry!

donitz 2022-04-06 19:58

Thank you all a lot for the feedback!

@autogibbon Yeah there should have been a slight margin for error, like that you could drop a certain percent of the sandwich or that only the top piece of bread must be kept intact.

@renge @nardandas The sandwich is kept in place using a combination of friction and correctional forces (based on distance from center and height). It took a lot of tweaking to get it to feel somewhat good. If the friction was too high, the sandwich couldn't correct itself. If it was too low the entire thing slipped around like a pile of soap.

First of all, the fact that this is native Javascrips blows my mind. The fake 3D was amazing just like the rest of the graphics (even though there were some minor glitches here and there but nothing game breaking), the gameplay struck a nice balance between frustrating and rewarding and the gameplay elements being introduced one after the other gave a nice sense of progress. Overall fantastic job.

hekateras 2022-04-07 18:48

Haha, so cute!

sopata 2022-04-07 22:23

Super cute game. I don't have any negative feedback, really :)

andidebob 2022-04-08 13:08

This game plays so well, I really don't know how the controls work so well... The graphics look amazing and the audio is also super fitting. I never managed to get past the 2nd secondwich, but still... I had a blast! Well done!

xeke-death 2022-04-08 13:13

Those damn animals!

Very tricky, I got past Thursday and had to give up for now. Great work, it was both fun and frustrating and reminds me why I let the cats here look at the food and decide they don't want to eat it.

Who leaves the bone in their sandwich!?!
