Hello! It looks like you don't have a link of where to download the game or a zip file added to the post.

A very fun and relaxing experience, the only thing bugging us was the grid placement system. The grid snapping system didn't respond fast enough. But other than that, this was very enjoyable!

Hi! +1 for the previous comment :wink: Ping me when it's done, i really want to test your beautifull game! :wink:

Oh really, a very cool chill puzzler. I loved the idea of the game and it fits the theme perfectly! The pixel art is really nicely done - the pixel sushis worked perfect (I mostly enjoyed the salmon looks so real I want to eat it... :smile:) Two things which were really disturbing in graphics and are very simple to change --- the red/green highlights were very helpful to understand what's happening but the colors were two vivid and did not nicely blend in... And the second with the overlaid bin - would have been simpler to have a bin and stay there (without the gray highlight maybe). The music fit well with the chill mood. Although the logic was relatively simple on the puzzle, it was suprisingly difficult to solve sometimes -- so nice job on that. Anyway, congratulations a super entry, after some minimal extra polishing certainly can imagine as a game to play!

joao-pedro-salim 2023-10-02 19:16

@flying-butter-studio it's done. Come here to test our game!

garyninja 2023-10-02 19:23

So Cool!! I'm sure another 72 hours and you could have people pay money for it!!

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-02 19:24

@joao-pedro-salim, we made similar games but yours is so beautiful and relaxing! I really like the mechanic of the orders. Great work, thank you ! :smile:

yorsh 2023-10-02 20:08

Nice and chill game! It's a classic mechanic but it fits the theme, and it has a good mood. Good job!

kinami 2023-10-02 20:17

Very nice game!

It feels very polished! The pixelart looks great, and the mechanics are challenging. The music is really nice and relaxing without getting boring!

I really enjoyed this game! Lots of potential! 😄

A nice and chill game, great job! My only complaint was that the dragging of sushi didn't feel very responsive (at times it was snapping to places where I didn't want it to). Would've liked if the dragged pieces followed the mouse freely and there would be some kind of colored indicator below it showing where the piece would go. Still, really enjoyed this one and congrats for the submission!

Very chill and a great fit for the theme :) I struggled a bit on the first one to understand which icon represents what sushi, but I figured it out eventually :D The visibility when overlapping with something could be improved. Over all I had a good time - nice work!

cat-lab 2023-10-03 00:20

Oh yesss this is a good one, great use of the theme! I could play this game for hours and be perfectly content. Super well done!

yammming 2023-10-03 00:36

hell yeah! awesome artwork :D i agree with kanagg, had some trouble matching up icon to sushi, but it made sense eventually :)

phoenixstroh 2023-10-03 00:44

this is a solid game! surprisingly difficult given the simple premise, the second level took me a surprisingly long time to do. i wish adding and removing items was made smoother, as that felt a bit clunky and took me out of the otherwise chill atmosphere. Good work!

beanboi 2023-10-03 03:43

Great game! The vibes are immaculate. The music and art style really sold it for me.

yurain33 2023-10-03 04:38

Chiiiiill

gabriel-chan 2023-10-03 07:10

Very fun game! It was a bit difficult at first but slowly got easier I figured out which pieces fit well together! Good work!

okshirl 2023-10-03 07:11

this made me crave for some sushi, well done! I wish I could rotate the tempura shrimp vertically rather than just flipping, but other than that it was really relaxing and fun.

crylica 2023-10-03 07:20

the graphics are beautiful, especially good job on the title screen, its so serene <3 lovely game!

osh-studio 2023-10-03 11:20

Such a fun chill game! Opening screen art is so beautiful, and music in the background is perfect. I could easily see myself spending hours on this as a mobile game. Seeing everything eventually slot in together perfectly tickled my brain. Great submission!

gamer-fates 2023-10-03 17:33

Neat game, enjoyed the concept and art style. I had trouble making the dishes as the order icons are too small. Would like them to be bigger so I can visually see what's on it or words somewhere on the screen descripting the meal.

farouchelark 2023-10-03 22:38

Absolutely lovely, the perfect amount of tricky and great graphics.

pabloabraham 2023-10-04 19:29

Hey, I just tried "Pazuru Packing Sushi" and it's such a delightful experience! The concept of packing a Bento Box is both unique and relatable. I appreciate the pixel art, especially the sushi designs—they made me hungry! Gameplay-wise, it's challenging in a fun way, really makes you think about how to best fit each piece. The rotate feature is a great touch, adding another layer to the puzzle-solving. Some feedback: perhaps consider a faster snap-to-grid system and maybe tooltips for the sushi types. Overall, fantastic work, and I'd love to see more levels or even a mobile version. Keep it up! 🍣👍

jamesw 2023-10-06 14:10

Nice puzzle! Cleared all levels. It's a good take on the theme. The pixel art makes the food look really delicious. The music is really relaxing. One of my favorite ones.

lincolnsalles 2023-10-06 14:36

The music is very pleasant. A great idea for the theme, space is really limited. Good puzzle, it didn't take me long to understand. Good in terms of theme, sounds and the art is satisfactory. A good entry. I already had difficulty in the third level, but I'm terrible at puzzles.

ayxs 2023-10-06 15:37

I really like this game! Very well made, great entry for your first time!

I personally thought that the bounding boxes of the pieces was not always clear. You can only see it when it's hovering over the grid, but outside it's sometimes a bit weird. This is especially relevant when you are placing the shrimp for example (which has a thin block going up) and when you are placing it in the top row, the bounding box then goes outside the field and it's not really clear why it cannot be placed.

I like the sound effects and the general mood of this game! It all fits together nicely, very well done!!

igorknop 2023-10-06 16:07

Great work!

bisnesspirate 2023-10-06 16:19

Really liked the puzzles. Started out quite difficult for me, but then some other puzzles were easier again. Maybe switching some puzzles around would've been a good idea. Beyond that I really loved the mood of the game, the music fit very well.

somewan 2023-10-06 17:45

I absolutely adore this neatly arranged box of sushi! It's so satisfying to leisurely fill up the entire box with sushi. Also, I appreciate your pixelated font style.

juanrod707 2023-10-07 01:50

Lovely atmosphere, you managed to pack so much value here! Congratulations

nondev 2023-10-07 11:01

Relaxing, cute puzzle game! It's funny to imagine whoever's putting these boxes together just constantly throwing sushi in the trash when they don't get it perfectly fitting.

aweskybear 2023-10-07 18:47

Very cute game, I like it a lot, relaxing.

2 things to feedback on - the rotate feature stopped working for some of the items?! Or I did something wrong (but I didn't). Also, it was like only flipping some of them. The other minor feedback is that I personally would make the sound effects juuust a little bit Less aggressive (something softer.. think Candy Crush sound effects, for example : ))) )

Hope that's useful!

tesseract 2023-10-08 16:21

A nice puzzle game, and very on-theme. A problem I had was that it felt like things changed shape when rotated. This made it frustrating when the onigiri wouldn't rotate properly :). I now understand that's because of the perspective, but there aren't quite enough cues (e.g. shadows) to make that obvious, and it made it hard to see how things would fit.

sofia-j 2023-10-09 16:49

Nice puzzle game ! Very catchy ! I noticed the trash can later after I started the lvl 2 XD It was "easier" when I saw it XD

gabreu 2023-10-10 16:35

@tesseract Thank you for your review about the rotation! In future updates we are planning to make it clear that the pieces feel the same when rotated, the perspective issue occurs because the tile is 1x0.8f so when rotate it actually change its size but match the Grid with the same numbers of Nodes.

konfekt 2023-10-11 23:39

I really like the visuals! It's definitely helpful that items are marked as red/green to show you whether you've placed them.

Some feedback for features I would have really liked: I think it would be really helpful if it was possible to rotate the pieces with the mouse wheel and remove them with a click of ther right mouse button for a more seamless gaming experience. That way a keyboard isn't required at all. Regarding the trash can, I actually think it could be skipped outright since you don't actually mess any of the food up and could simply place the items back to where they were before (and it gave me a twinge of anxiety to be throwing out so much food lol). Altogether a very nice and chill game, congrats!

strega 2023-10-13 07:50

Awesome puzzle game! Loved the sushi theming, and cute art. The sounds and music were really fitting. The puzzles were pretty tricky. I wasn't sure if I could use any of the maki or it had to match the order's coloration, but other than that I had fun. I wish there was a clear all button so I could start over easier.

siberpunk01 2023-10-17 01:59

Great entry! It plays well, has a chill soundtrack, and great pixel art. I'm glad there is no timer so it can be kind of a relaxing puzzle game, instead of a frantic 'make the order' game. The ingredients are a little easy to mix up. A couple of times I couldn't get the order ready, and then realized I misread the items in the order.

nathaniel-kaplan 2023-10-18 18:30

Chill pizzler! Great visuals and music with some interesting challenge. I do think it could be a little more clear what exactly needs to be put into each order--it can be hard to see the differences between similar sushi in the small images.
