I mixed up so many...
Looks good! Very chill. I like that it's not an "endless" game as well, but it's quite hard to lose :grin: Love the octopus chef.
Minor issues: - the tree as you walk away from the chef collides with the character more than is expected, so common to get "stuck" because your head hits the tree root I think. - The end of game screen image is larger than the player, so I can't see your credits properly! Screenshot 2023-05-02 085103.png - Second playthrough doesn't reset state properly (oh how often this happens). For example, I can't see which table to deliver too after clicking restart. Had to reload page.
So cute! I love the design of the little mushroom guys. I kept getting stuck on the hitboxes of the trees for some reason. Otherwise had a good time!
Really cool graphics made by you! The colliders were too big in tree next to the chef and it made moving around harder. Very simple, but charming.
Took a few seconds to figure out what to do, but once I did it went quickly. I liked the soothing music and the overall mood. I did run into the same problems as reported by Glacian. Nice entry!
Nice game! My highscore was 504!
The ending screen is lovely btw!
Hey, thanks for reviewing our game! Your one was overall quite enjoyable and there's room for improvements. You should really make a post-jam version! A couple of suggestions: - we found the mix between pixel art and high quality drawing a bit inconsistent. You might try to draw a high resolution environment too. - we more than once found ourselves stuck to trees till we realized that the collision boxes cover the objects' entire area. Perhaps you could limit the collision boxes to the lower part of the images. Keep up the good work!
Very cute game, seems a bit odd that food gets thrown all over the place and some collisions looked odd, getting stuck when i didn't expect to ,but good entry!
i liked the art and concept a lot. for some reason i couldn't serve tables two and 3 but was still able to finish game by just getting diff dishes lol. good job!
A lot could be improved and the contrast between different artstyle alongside the lack of animations is a bit jarring, but I can really tell a lot of time was spent on the characters! They look really cute :)
It might just be me, but the text wouldn't display when I had it full screen. Took a few attempts to figure out what was going on. Nice game.
Oh my god these characters are so. Freaking. Adorable. \*^* Loved the atmosphere of this game, it was really relaxing to play!
Some constructive criticism: - One feature that would be a nice-to-have is to be able to see the tables of *all* the meals that one carries instead of just one of them. (Is that the stacking mechanic that you're talking about in the description? I wasn't sure.) That way, the player can try to find an optimal route to the guests and back which would be a lot of fun! - I sometimes collided with the path, which was odd. But I noticed that you used an engine for the movement, so it's possible that it's a bug of that engine. - Instead of making the numbers of the meals entirely random, a semi-random approach that ensures that all guests get at least one meal before the time limit ends would be neat. Of course this is more of a detail and maybe not in the scope of a game jam, but if you decide to continue working on the game, I believe this would be a nice touch. If, for example, you used a list containing all guests and guests who get their food are removed from the list, it would not only ensure that every guest gets at least one meal, but the player might even be able to plan around it!
it's a chill and fun game, i loved the mushroom
