It was confusing at first, since there are no instructions, but I got the hang of it. It would be nice if there was a symbol for the effect that happens to you, rather than just text. Also a timer to tell you when a new effect happens would be sweet!

I loved the art and the animations, very amusing!

Well done! Capture.PNG

The link to your itch page didn't seem to work for me :(

kenzie 2022-10-03 23:35

Really wanted to give it a try but the itch page didn't work

r3d3r 2022-10-03 23:51

@str0nkyk0ng @kenzie The URL to itch.io has been fixed; please let me know if the issue remains. :D

You really nailed the art style here. Very expresive and everythings fits the theme so well. Gotta go with Flavio as his name.

defilerzero 2022-10-04 00:36

Fun art style, but felt like I was missing something or the gameplay was too simplistic. Click on one place, then the next and third, then serve. It wasn't very engaging (unless again, I missed something).

Hey! Sadly I can't play your game, it seems your camera view is locked zoomed in! Your arts look nice though!

r3d3r 2022-10-04 11:27

@defilerzero Thank you for playing Kalamity Kitchen; we're delighted you like the artwork! We chose a basic game with the idea of players who want to be able to replay Kalamity Kitchen until they attained full stats. :D

r3d3r 2022-10-05 00:23

Soooooo... I didn't see a BUG for the "Faster Preparation" Blessing and "Slow Preparation" Curse. It had NO direct effect on the preparation. (Oops xD) I corrected it, and it now works. :D You are welcome to replay the most latest release (the blessing is quite helpful):D @raphiell @str0nkyk0ng @kenzie @foulkes-art @defilerzero @mokah @chillertyp @ch33sybacon @whitenoize @yurain33 @woahitsjeff @aripize @vozme

The graphics and design of this game are inspiring! It's just so gorgeous. The fast paced music also really sets the mood.

That being said, it didn't feel like a game in any real sense because I didn't feel rewarded or punished for the performance of my character. It also felt lacking in interaction. I'm not sure if I'm missing something but it felt like the task was to click on the pizza in the top left, then click the rolling pin, wait, click the ingredients, wait, click the oven, wait, click the thingy in front of the rolling pin, wait... and repeat. So it ended up making the 10 second buff/curse feel pointless.

That is something that can easily be managed at a later time, though. As I said above, the game is GORGEOUS. Way beyond what I could ever expect from a game jam.

One quick note/aside: when uploading files for others to download, it can help us *a lot* if you include the title of your game in the filename. I have a lot of files labelled something along the lines of "LDJAM51" and so it gets tricky fast when reviewing to know which file to open.

Overall though - well done and thank you for the dose of art. <3

@otterfaelure Thank you very much for taking part in Kitchen Kalamity! We're delighted Kitchen Kalamity's design has inspired you. :D

Oh no, would you mind providing your stats once you've fulfilled all orders?:D

Thank you for bringing this to our attention; we will rename them accordingly. B)

otterfaelure 2022-10-05 15:42

@r3d3r I honestly didn't finish because I didn't know there was an end. ^^; Sorry.

sailors 2022-10-05 20:33

AMAZINGG art and animations, I just sat and watch the screen for minutes, I didn't get the game logic but again your graphs are on another level...

r3d3r 2022-10-05 21:32

@fadrikalexander Thank you very much for playing Kitchen Kalamity! We are looking into the issue, and sorting it out soon, thanks again for playing Kitchen Kalamity!😎

blushingcrow 2022-10-06 10:20

I love the art aesthetic and the animations - it almost feels like a Warioware meets Cook Serve Delicious style bit of fun :)

hora-timer 2022-10-09 11:10

Nossa! que legal gostei das animações fica bem engraçado muito bom!

papaver 2022-10-11 22:34

I like the funny dance moves the chef makes while doing his work. :smile:

I enjoyed the background music, but since you opted out for audio, I think you didn't make the music yourself? Perhaps you could you provide some credits? :slight_smile:

Although I played both the original and version 3, I found that it was a bit unclear how to start a new pizza.. Some feedback would be nice if a player clicks on an order. Also I didn't understand what the rectangular thing was in the bottom left.

I liked the idea of being blessed or cursed every 10 seconds and the different variations, but I felt like I didn't have options to react to it. This made the game too repetitive. For example, if I was cursed by slow walking speed, I would like to be able to choose to prepare a pile of ingredients for several pizzas in stead of walking.

The graphics are very nice, and with the curses and blessings it certainly has potential. Keep up the good work!

This was my final score, although I don't know what it all means. :wink: LD51_kalamitykitchen.png

I love the art style and the animation of the chef is adorable.

The gameplay could be improved by maybe having different pizza recipes, where a player would have to choose proper ingredients. Right now, you just keep clicking on the same things in the same order all the time, and after a while it just gets old.

Blessings and curses are a great idea! Would be even better if the player could do something about them, interact with them somehow, react to them or adjust his gameplay to fit them. They are a fun concept, but they are also passive. Sort of like the weather :wink: - you don't really even have to pay attention to what curse/blessing you get, as you can't do much about it anyway.

It's a very nice concept and an interesting interpretation of the theme. Great work!

Maybe Massimo for the name of the chef :smiley_cat:?

Reminds me of those old 2000's Flash games. I love the flair in this game - all the animation and the great art really bring this game to life! That being said, I agree that it's kind of repetitive, and I would have liked to have seen a bit more involved gameplay - something like having to choose the correct ingredients for each order or something.

Fantastic artwork and animations!
