Art is really nice. There is not a lot of feedback if what you are doing is correct... and seemingly random it will game over you
The art is incredible, but I can't play the game... I'm pretty sure it has a lot to offer but that's too bad
I think that there is a bug on the cooking station that doesn't work all the time on repeated game
@usenrame Sorry to hear that, we added a description of the game controls to help new players.
Apart from cool music, sounds and amazing graphics, I really wasn't sure what to do? No matter what I clicked, where I moved the stuff, it gave me game over. Sorry, this is definitely me being stupid, but I couldn't figure it out, even though I read your instructions
Love the art and overall style and humor. But i sadly always get Game Over very fast :(
Some more instructions and hints would be nice - but the graphics and audio are great!
Great idea haha, made many dubious dishes. If every dish in that collection exists, that's a crazy amount of content. Like the artstyle. My critique would be that game over comes to fast. That kind of keeps you from exploring options since you don't want to start over.
I liked the concept of the game. But I spend a lot time for understanding what I need to do. When I understand it I enjoied your dishes too)
Solid combination discovery game, with a really nice look and feel.
I also encountered the same bug as @kromeboy when trying playing a restarted game.
Needed a bit more description, wasn't really clear how to combine dishes, like when getting more than 1 ingredient it wouldn't let me put two things in a pan.
However I really like the concept and think there's a lot of potential here, just needs a bit explaining and feedback to the player!
Love the art, sound and music! A small tutorial on what to do or an image showing what our clients want to eat could be nice for a post jam version. Cool game anyway !
Wow this game was so fun, I haven't discovered all the recipes yet but I will keep trying. The first few times wasn't so intuitive, like when I got eggs and tomatoes together after getting them individually, my initial reaction is to combine them in some way, but it was impossible to make anything out of it. But when I got two eggs the game starting rolling. a small tutorial would be nice, I also didn't notice that the cutting and mixing areas were locked until I passed the early levels. I kept trying to cut things when I first started playing. Overall this game is one of my favourites! I really enjoyed every aspect of this game! hope to see a full polished version!
Hey, that was a really fun game! I've found out I suck at cooking, cause I keep making black sludge. Got a score of 1290 though.
To everyone confused, when you put the ingredients in the oven/stove, click the blue capsule button above to start cooking. That took me a while to figure out, cause I though it was a progress bar at first lol.
The music and art were great too, a simplistic core idea done well!
@anton4ik-dev I think your comment is for another game :)
Fun concept! Liked how you unlocked new features the further you progressed, and trying to find out new recipes.
Art is cute and music is perfect for fast-paced cooking game haha. I was a bit confused at first, I though the 3 positions on the left would cook ingredient differently (in a pan or in an oven), took me some time to realize that it was meant to cook/bake ingredient *together*. Also the point system is quite confusing, some feedback on points gain/lost would be nice :smile: I tried a couple times, after a while it seemed like the game was bugging (mix ingredients would spawn ingredient, not create recipe; some cooking ingredients would not disappear and leave the space after being cooked, etc... and restarting the game would not fix them sadly :/) and I know it's on theme, but managing so much ingredients in under 10 secs becomes quite hard quite fast! Overall I enjoyed playing it! Good job!! :egg:
@sulexa corrected
This is a REALLY cool concept!
I do think the concept though may have been too complicated for the time constraints of a game jam.
I can already see a lot of people saying that there were frustrations with feeling punished for trying to experiment, or not quite understanding how the side worked, and dying too fast. I can echo them but not provide much more than that.
The game though really does feel like it could be something reallllly cool if it were developed more. I think if there was just a waiter that would grab the "best" item available, instead of making us put our desired item in the slot, it could add a level of hilarity/frustration(for those who can make it further into the game) and take some of the stress off.
Knowing that I had to make increasingly complicated things, but having no feedback, was another struggling point of mine - not sure if that was mentioned at all.
THAT BEING SAID, this was a COMPLICATED idea, you put in A LOT of content. The problem is with balancing, which is always a struggle in a game jam because you have limited time and, more importantly, limited time for feedback.
It would be really cool to see what could be done with this game given more time. Thank you for the experience. =)
I really liked this game! Sadly i randomly got game over and sometimes I couldnt drop the food on the counter. It is a fun game overall, good job <3
Cool game, cool art, i had to give it a few goes as i kept dieing, perhaps a demonstration preplay would have been nice. Good work, cooking games are always fun!
Thanks for all your feedback! We're currently working on improving game comprehension!
The new version is sooo much better, I came back to play this game again since I'm so addicted. Please keep making more recipes, that was super fun. I didn't quite understand the tiers of different colors, is purple the best one? It's still a bit unclear, raw cut fish and cooked fish were both green, but raw fish costed me a life. I thought that was sashimi LOL. It'd be cool to have a tier list, or an indicator that shows the food can be further cooked or upgraded.
Really cute game! I love how you have to figure out all the recipes, good work!
Very hard and a bit rugous when starting, but it make a good flow and ressource management once you handle the pace. I wanted to see every recipe but it's get too hard unfortunately
This was so cool! Probably the most fun game I've played this jam. My only suggestion is when I unlocked the cutting board/mixer, I wish I could keep them in future rounds.
