Really cute game!

anciententity 2023-10-03 04:04

Cute game, feels like a chill singleplayer version of overcooked. Only found 1 bug which is you can put a vegetable/fruit in the press while the press is down. Besides that though, the art is great, and overall enjoyed the game. Good job!

How cute it is! Always love slimes and farming games not to mention it's slime and farming and achieving orders!! (♡˙︶˙♡)

THIS GAME IS SO CUTE I'M GOING TO EXPLODE

zazzar 2023-10-03 04:16

Very fun game. I could see it being addictive with the peaceful mood music and satisfying gameplay. Well paced between fulfilling orders and waiting for plants to grow.

vio 2023-10-03 06:14

super cute!! took me a minute to understand that the press had to be moved for each veggie (maybe because the instructions were partially cut off on my display) but after i got that i had a fun time :) nice work!

penguindustin 2023-10-03 07:14

Cute!! The game felt a little laggy and the collision boxes felt off in a lot of places. I would hover the watering can between 2 spaces and it would water neither of them. Loved the music and slimeee!

jadener 2023-10-03 09:33

Amazing artstyle, and you somehow managed to make a farming game seem fresh and fun ^^ If the only thing I can crtiticize is that you cant grab a plant when clicking in the middle of tiles, you know you did well ^^

human-writes-code 2023-10-03 10:31

Really great looking game that plays very smoothly and has a nice amount of difficulty to it. The music and sound effects fit the look of the game perfectly. I have to think that it's probably not healthy for that slime to live on a diet consisting of only fruit and vegetable juices. I also hope the long green vegetable was celery rather than leek... because I'm not sure how I feel about leek juice.

Overall, great game. Good work!

npckc 2023-10-03 11:20

this is really cute! once you get into a rhythm the plant-water-juice loop is really satisfying.

lespaul59 2023-10-03 11:36

Really chilled and polished game. Loved the vibe, graphics and overall mood. It was very fun to play. And now i'm going to make me myself a smoothie. :D

bot-hopps 2023-10-03 13:24

DELICIOUS

imwonderr 2023-10-03 13:29

Love how cute it is! Feels very cozy and warm, and the music is very relaxing. Great visuals!

puppycat 2023-10-03 14:05

I love how cute the animation is! I liked how everything had a little tutorial so that it was easy for me to understand how the game worked.

fabio-bonu 2023-10-03 14:46

i really enjoy your graphics, pretty cool

waded 2023-10-03 14:58

Super cute!!

quasilyte 2023-10-03 15:01

I was running the game on itch io. It took several minutes to load, but it was worth it. :D

The music is cozy, the graphics are fitting. I'm impressed that most things are animated. The sound effects are funny and sound like you've made them yourself (instead of using some generator like sfxr).

During my first run, I managed to serve exactly 0 drinks lol. My mistake was related to the fact that I didn't get the placement requirements for some reason. When I started a second run, it all became clear to me. I still didn't manage to serve every single order even on the first level. It looks like this game requires some fast fingers and/or a good mouse; I played it with my touchpad and it wasn't easy. :D

One thing I wish was implemented is an auto-open for the crusher. It feels like an unnecessary chore to open it up after every use. I get the crushing part, but not the "open after use" part. (i.e. I want to do a down move, but not up-down action).

Overall, it's a polished game with neat mechanics. It's my understanding that you're using a small field and placement requirements as a theme interpretation.

Extra points for making this game playable from the browser.

Also, thank you for playing my game. :3

jcmonkey 2023-10-03 15:32

i think the game kind of bugged out. i tried to compost the bad order that i made and the stuff for that order was still in the squeezer and i couldnt get it out no matter what i tried. unless i missed something. other then that was a fun to play game. i played a few like this already this jam and this one was pretty fun.

cheesepencil 2023-10-03 16:42

No bugs, adorable, functionally complete, great job. This is one of the better executed "cooking" jam games I've played

I hope the sound effects were as fun to make as they were to hear

enreh 2023-10-03 17:31

This game is really well polished and fun! The art is adorable, the audio is great and everything just feels satisfying to interact with. My only problem was when I accidentaly mixed the ingredients for two different juices. I couldn't throw it out, so I just served it anyway. It didn't cause any major issues, but it was the only weird moment for me. Loved the game!

lunicrous 2023-10-03 17:35

Super super cute game. I really enjoied playing ... now I am craving juice

I agree with @quasilyte about the opening of the crusher. I realised that it is not needed to open the crusher to add the ingredients however my brain kinda needs it :sweat_smile: . Also I had the feeling that the time of the cabbage being ready and the time being able to pick it up is slightly of, but I am not sure about that.

leelith 2023-10-03 18:24

My god ! The cuteness of this game 😱 ! I really enjoyed my time and loved what you did with the theme "limited space" by adding the feature of a necessary space to grow the vegetable.

thelastslowpoke 2023-10-03 20:54

It's super polished! I love the details like the design of the watering can. And it plays well, not a single objection! I like the possibility of planting veggies without having all the space for them at the moment.

doommustard 2023-10-03 21:09

The only complaint I have about this game is that the music feels to relaxing for how ridiculously stressful it is when everything starts to fall apart. The game is perfect I love it

ayleeh 2023-10-03 21:40

Really cute game. I love it ! :D And really nice music and artistic direction

shinai 2023-10-03 21:55

I really loved it ! Did you make some sfx with your mouth ? xD

weefairyfabi 2023-10-03 22:41

This is superduper cute! I loved the gameplay and the little slime

jakjak 2023-10-04 01:30

@Shinai Yes 99% of sfx were with my mouth haha. Thanks for playing.

chii 2023-10-04 02:51

Soooooo cozy!!! And did I say I LOVE vegetables (and planting them)?

Great job!!!

janet-lin 2023-10-04 04:20

So so cute!! Found myself panicking after a bit to stay on track. Very fun and scratched an itch I had for games like this

vera-babchenko 2023-10-04 04:30

I liked the game! Sweetie! The first time I didn’t really understand what to do and the orders went away. And the second time I made almost all the orders. Well done!

whoaitstom 2023-10-04 04:50

The music and art in this are so cute! I was definitely panicking a bit trying to fill all the orders but in a fun way!

dwarfid 2023-10-04 08:12

So Cute Game ! Good mood ! Music fit perfectly ! I don't see any bug and the 2D style is very good ! Congrats !

nash 2023-10-04 08:45

I had quite a difficult time to get the game to fit on my screen. When full screened, most of the UI elements on the side are outside of the screen area. I had to zoom out in my browser to get it all to fit on my screen.

But about the game, what a charming game with quite relaxing mood. I like the juxtapose of relaxing music and hectic task of filling orders. It took me a while to understand how all of the parts work but when I got going it started to feel pretty easy.

Overall, a very solid and polished jam game!

jagman 2023-10-04 11:46

This game is one of my favorite LD54 games. Cute graphics, pleasant music, great sounds. Bravo!

congeesetador 2023-10-04 12:03

This is a really simple yet effective take on the theme, you have to actually think about where to put the different plants so you can make the drinks without fail, I really love the music and art for the game it's so simple but looks and sounds so good! The music is relaxing and fits the theme, the game is very well game, good job!

teafish 2023-10-04 15:26

cute!I need to think carefully about how to plan my planting space, But the feedback is a little bit lagging. Good job!

bisnesspirate 2023-10-04 15:40

Really fun little game. Graphics are top notch. It took me a minute to understand why my plants where dying, but once I understood it became very interesting on how to plant everything, especially in later levels.

zanagi 2023-10-04 19:06

Really cozy and well polished game. Great job and congrats on the submission!

little-doctor-games 2023-10-04 19:16

Excellent cute and cozy game that also manages to be a bit frantic and high-pressure. The part where you squish the food into juice was really fun and satisfying. I did have a bit of trouble getting the watering can to work, I think I figured it out at the end but it was hard to tell if it was actually helping grow my crops faster. Great work, thanks for showing us on stream!

skel3ton 2023-10-04 20:59

very cute game and great entry... it's a bit confusing that I can squeeze juice from only one vegetable even if I put more vegetables in the crusher. But when I got used to it, it was a nice game

lizik-vin 2023-10-04 21:28

Very cute game! It took me a while to figure out the controls, but then everything worked out successfully! Very relaxing.

ascenial 2023-10-05 00:05

super polished game really easy to understand and its a very easy game to get sucked into

pichiiparu 2023-10-05 00:17

The art style is soooo adorable omg!! The game feels very complete and so addicting!!

dan-burns 2023-10-05 01:47

I loved this! I'm not a programmer, so no notes there, but as a composer I can say I loved the music and sound, loved the feel and fun - great work!

zhg-zzz 2023-10-05 09:44

The graphics are really well designed, and the game itself is very interesting. Thank you for that!

crotonyl-alcohol 2023-10-05 12:02

A relaxing game! The game play is simple but I enjoy the process.

vvdesu 2023-10-05 14:21

It's fun!

minjutin 2023-10-05 16:30

A nice and chill game with very cute art, I was positively surprised to see more levels after the first one. Gotta make that juice

drlizard 2023-10-05 17:50

Darn god submission. One think I would point out as short coming was absence of pause/menu during the game

rafael-garcez 2023-10-05 21:57

such a cute and relaxing game!

johnsensei 2023-10-05 23:00

Lots of farming games with this theme. The art is super cute. Good job. What is the resolution of the web build? I'd guess at least 1920 x 1080? The whole game wouldn't fit on my screen, even with the full screen button clicked. But I was still able to play it, some of the text on the left side was getting cut off is all. Maybe the web build resolution is too big and something like 1280 x 720 would fit better.

jamesw 2023-10-06 12:46

Really nice art! Love the cozy and relaxing gameplay and music. And I also think the resolution is a bit too big for web, had to drag the bars.

nyxkn 2023-10-07 16:13

Very cute farming/cooking game. Really pleasant to play and doesn't get frustrating, but still requires focus to get the right plants down. Some fitting music could have added to the mood, but other than that I have no criticism. The art and animations are really nice and the gameplay is smooth and well executed. Overall an excellent entry!

kanity 2023-10-08 03:17

I didn't realize right away that I have to drag the juice to the slime itself and tried to drag it to the order paper (and before that I tried just dragging fruit to the paper because I wasn't careful enough reading the instructions on the game page ^^'' and I started right away so ig I missed these lines you have on the screenshot... that's totally my bad tbh!) So first day went pretty badly as I was still figuring stuff out. Second day went much better obviously and I actually had fun, it was chill and cozy.

Overall I think the game is fantastic, it looks polished and complete, graphics are perfect, gameplay is carefully crafted. Don't have anything bad to say about it. Maybe if you put it out there outside of jam, would be nice to add info on gameplay/controls in the game itself, like a "how to play" in the main menu, for example :3 Also, the slime is super cute! ^^

brogolem35 2023-10-08 12:19

Great idea and absolute kawaii.

burchyn 2023-10-08 14:18

I am addicted! I replayed every level until I did perfect score without missing any order. Last level was challenging as brocoli is huuuuuuuuuuge :smile:

I liked that they fit to the garden as tetris pieces, makes you think about every little space and plan ahead and run full capacity.

One thing I had trouble with was I put a wrong fruit in the juicer but I couldn't take it out before pressing it. Unfortunately I had to squueze it but it was the wrong order with the wrong fruit and I had to dump everything in the compost which made me lose time and the level. Maybe we should be able to trash things before juicing them (be able to take things from the juicer before pressing)

Other than that, I loved everyting. Well done!

2thegamechanger 2023-10-08 16:25

Cool game! Reminds me a bit of slime rancher. I really like pre-planting plants its very satisfying. The game is a bit punishing when you screw up since its a lot of clicks plus loosing the plant. I absolutely love the crank controls! Well done!

neowedge 2023-10-08 16:29

Nice game, very balanced and addictive, congrats!

bredera 2023-10-09 16:42

Awesome little puzzle game. I love the art style! The music and sound effects fit the game really well. Took me some time to find out how it all worked but was chill overall. Awesome job :smile:

hinesite 2023-10-10 16:46

That was a lot of fun. It took me a couple of tries to figure out how everything worked, but once I figured it out it was pretty simple (if I had paid more attention to your gif, I probably would have figured it out quicker).

Sometimes the orders seemed too hard (I assume they are random?). I hade one that required 3 lettuce/cabbage (I just ignored that guy...).

ategon 2023-10-11 01:19

Hey, I’m the host of the Ludum Dare score chasers tournament for this jam

Wanted to ask for score chasers if you were fine with me playing some gameplay of your game in the background in the waiting period / intermission. In the waiting period its going to cycle between gameplay of a bunch of different games in the background (with music from games in the jam playing as well)

the3rdhunter 2023-10-11 01:49

This game is so cute. The visuals and the audio are all super charming. The gameplay cycle is nice and clean. Super solid entry and very well done!

crylica 2023-10-11 03:44

@ategon Feel free to use as you'd please :)

veka 2023-10-11 16:19

Great entry. Really enjoyed how the game required from you awarness, strategy, quick thinking and reflex. Loved how it was very cozy and stressful at the same time!

falestress 2023-10-11 21:45

I'm loving this jam game ! It's cool, well-executed, and the graphics are awesome. It's super addictive and loads of fun. You've nailed it !

Very good puzzle game :D

cawfee-art 2023-10-12 18:29

Such a cute and cozy game! The graphics are beautiful and so adorable!

lincolnsalles 2023-10-13 23:11

Nice graphics and sounds. I had a little difficulty getting all the ingredients for the juice.

cassowary 2023-10-18 15:49

This is amazing! I love the art so much! The gameplay is also a really clever idea, I like the creativity in how you assigned different shapes to the plants. I also didn't realize at first that you had to drag the juice to the slime, so that is my one complaint, but otherwise I like this a lot, well done.

adamcyounis 2023-10-20 06:49

Wow so cute! I really liked your take on this genre. I felt at first a bit overwhelmed by the systems, but that's kind of par for the course in a jam context. Once I understood how to play, I felt like the UX and feedback was actually very well considered and could really appreciate the pacing of the game and the way you added diversity with new vegetable on additional levels.

The graphics and music were delightful, overall just a lovely experience. Thanks for sharing!
