Where do i play it?

I already love Cheff Jeff's hat, but is there a link where we could try out the game?

This game was really interesting and fun. It took me a bit to get a handle on the controls, but once I did it was a lot of fun. good job!

Nice concept! I think that 10 seconds are really tight here, it is difficult in the beginning so when we lose other cooks it becomes impossible. Great jobs on the graphics and on the humor :laughing:

Hey nice concept, very funny lol, I have some problems with the iteractions but I enjoy it, cool art and sound effects, nice work!

noirox 2022-10-20 22:27

Wait, did you really just make a single-player Overcooked clone and slapped on a 10-second restriction? I mean - nice concept and really really polished execution but... well, it's not yours :P

Looks like a cool idea, but for some reason I couldn't figure out how to feed the monster? I couldn't put the plate on the serving area, and walking it out to the monster also didn't help. I loved the art though!

This is excellent! I had a few issues though: 1. During the tutorial, I put my stuff on my own plate and my coworkers put their stuff on a different plate. I had to redo the work once I noticed 2. I think I need a coworker to serve the meal? If I put it in front of the customer they don't like it 3. I need a safe place to learn this game without all my coworkers being eaten and the game ending. I really struggled to figure out this pizza recipe. It would be great to be able to practice each prep step and ingredient before the danger starts.

Other than those issues, I thought it was super! Great audio and graphics. I'm impressed by how much you got done, congrats!!

Even with the tutorial, I got pretty confused what I was supposed to be doing. The 10 second timer made it difficult to learn. The chef's hat and artwork are amazing!

Love the One Piece Tie in, but I really would have loved a downloadable version for windows, since the browser version lagged like crazy for me. From what I could play though it seemed like a pretty solid implementation of an overcooked style game, the time mechanic seems a bit tight for a game like this though. But overall really well done!

A nice concept but it's too complex to do so many things in 10 seconds. Hope the game will be polished in the future. By the way the sound effects make my day.

Nice little overcooked-style game. Pretty impressive for a 72h game, pretty difficult though, especially when you fall into a downward spiral when you are too slow and your AI companions are consumed one by one (Which is a pretty funny way to do lives though).

Could have also used a bit more tutorial, especially on how to deliver the completed food to the customer. I figured out how to do it eventually, but only after trying to deliver it directly to him, which broke the game as I could not pick up anything after that

First of all, I love Chef Jeff's hat haha, but I found that this game was way way too hard - 10 seconds isn't enough to do almost anything for the complicated recipes (or maybe I just am not very good). It would have been nicer to have either a tutorial for every meal (because some of them were really difficult to figure out, especially under time pressure), much simpler recipes, or have more time to prepare things. I got "Game Over" within 30 seconds 3 times in a row haha. That being said, I can see this game being a lot of fun once you get the hang of it, and the humour was great too!

unidaystudio 2022-10-21 13:45

Oh, niceee! I loved the Chef as well and it looks like I'm not the only one to like it, based on the comments! :smile: Good experience, well done!

brendo 2022-10-21 16:27

Impressive amount of work for a 72h hour jam, especially with the polished art! And, I definitely lol'd at the front page hat graphic.

Difficulty-wise, this is pretty overwhelming at first, with so many recipes and ingredients available at once. And as I'm trying to wrap my head around the options, the monster eats my assistant chefs?! That's a brutal negative spiral.

The assistant chefs are a really cool innovation though, allowing you to do an Overcooked-style game solo!

Wow! Cool work for such a short jam! I enjoy the gameplay a lot. Seems like after a certain threshold, it gets impossible to get things done in time. But maybe I'm just not playing the best that I should. Awesome entry, hope to see more!

maximeg 2022-10-21 18:21

really nice game, so much work done, every things seems smooth and well polished

adjo 2022-10-21 20:14

Visually it's really nice. I was a bit unsure on how to choose which meals to make and serving the monster didn't seem to work if I gave the food.

danielr1 2022-10-21 20:46

I love the art, and the concept reminds me of overcooked

exofrenon 2022-10-21 22:00

Impressive that you managed to make an overcooked clone in such a short amount of time. Not the most innovative game, but I liked the adjustments you did to the game for the theme (everything is faster). Very polished overall (graphics, gameplay). Also, nice One Piece reference.

Common, we all know, chef Jeff needs a larger hat :) Sadly, after feeding the burger i couldn't interact with any of the objects anymore. Reloading the game also didn't solve the problem :(
