I didn't exactly know what to do? I ran around and opened all the chests, I put an apple in the fridge, and had a ton of hearts at the bottom, i pulled the lever. But no enemies were appearing. Unfortunate because the art is super nice and I like the lighting effects. Also there was no sound, not sure if that is intentional or not.
Love the lighting! With music and sounds it would be a blast!
its a Fun game and has a really funny idea/name.
For some reason my favorite part is displaying so many foods in the fridge. I think this game would heavily benefit from even the most basic sound effects.
Very nice and moody lighting! Would be really enjoyable with some sound
Cool game idea, really liked it. It is kinda hard to access the chests at the bottom, so maybe rotate them to face towards the center
Fun game, it was enjoyable to play. It's a pity that the style of individual sprites doesn't always match each other. But overall, it's great work!
Hey, really fun to shoot around ! I didn't understand the ending though, I think it was over when I pressed the lever with the fridge full of apples because then I could not summon anymore. Anyway, the art looks great and the controls feel nice
@arka You need to kill some chickens and fill the fridge with them :)
It's a busy space for experimentation. Too bad there are no sounds, but it still stimulates curiosity and reminds me of my favorite Isaac.
The game has some potential, it would be nice to have some sort of summoning book and some general goal to work towards. The art looks good and I love the idea of having a demonic fridge! This game could really benefit from some sounds to give the game more ambiance. Overall a nice take on the summoning theme, good job!
An interesting game. Would've liked if the interact and shoot buttons were reversed as pressing the mouse fast is a little easier than spacebar. A really funny idea though, but the lack of any audio leads to a slightly lonely quiet experience of fridge filling.
Cool game idea, it really wishes it had SFX though! Also, shooting was a little bit awkward, maybe it could be an autoshooter? A QOL unit to help carry stuff like a cart would be nice too. I also found it hard to feel the stakes of the game since I could summon the stuff when I was ready for it like a sandbox game but without any of the survival elements that would make it more hectic. Maybe the fridge could get angry at you if you took too long or something?
Nice art and controls felt smooth (except for spacebar-shooting), so good job there! This game has potential, just needs more polish.
I like how the lighting adds to the ominous ambience of the game and the physics of the items! I am curious if the different foods in the fridge affected who / what was summoned (I'm guessing quantity?) I was not very sure of what my health first and was trying to figure out how to eat the food after taking damage haha Nice work!
I got chickens from apples, rats from chicken and green skull from eggplant. Then I got a steak that spawned all three previous enemies. I couldn't get anything past that :confused: Am I missing something?
Nice game, missed some sound though, would have made it super! Well made, nice graphics.
Now I feel bad for killing so many chickens. Great entry, nice work and quite fun and unique mechanic!
I may be dumb. I wasn't able to summon anything past the obvious recipes tho. Otherwise it seems pretty solid with the mechanics. Great that you allow the health stuff to just get consumed without limiting the health the player has. Probably wasn't intended, but easy mode is appreciated here :D

@toc you might want to mix all ingredients for a special surprise :)
@vilmantas In some way it was intended to have "unlimited" health. We discussed the issue and decided shortly before submission to not add the limitation out of laziness :o
As @7uc4s mentioned, try to mix all ingredients together ;-)
I love the idea of a survival game where you spawn the enemies based on certain conditions - the addition of making it a fridge was amusing and I like that you use their drops to summon different combinations of enemies into the area. The movement felt smooth and at a reasonable speed and I like that you can stack up on health extra early.
I didn't love the spacebar to fire, especially since you use your mouse to aim the fireballs anyway. It almost feels like the controls should have been reversed, like clicking to shoot (and preferably supporting holding to continuously fire) and then spacebar would be used to pick up and put in the fridge when you're directly in front of it and drop the item if you're not near the fridge.
There are also some minor issues of the character going behind the lever despite it being a supposedly solid, interactable object. I also think that while you chose a good set of graphics to go together, and I understand that fridge was done by one of you. I think it would have looked more coherent to the environment if it were also in the pixel art style as it looks oddly out of place here.

The lighting was done well; it fit the dark but also funny concept (though I will say I wish the drops were also affected by it). Audio could obviously be something considered for a post-jam version of this but I had a good time overall.
This was great, I like that you can modulate the waves of enemies by stocking the fridge with different items. I love the skull enemy effects, I want more of those types of enemies. Controls felt pretty good too.
Also I thought it was funny that skulls drop pie, and rats drop eggplants!
Nice art, some feeling of exploration from the recipe experiments. Too bad there is no sound. The project has some potential.
Cool game, I liked it!
Definitely an interesting concept. Would love to see different things appear if different recipes were put in.
Cool game! love how each creature drops more resources!
@justin-pena Thanks! But you can spawn different things, with the right recipe ;)

It took me some time to figure it out. I managed to die with 5 health! After a few tries I mastered the fridge and enjoyed trying out different recipes. It was an interesting experience!
Oh, snap! How did you guys pull off this level of awesomeness? It's so mind-blowing, I'm genuinely flabbergasted. Did you seriously whip this up in just 72 hours??? Your game mechanics are super polished, like, 'hold my controller while I master this addiction' level of good. This game is so fire, I can't get enough of it. Kudos on the epic win, I'm totally digging it!
nice game art and lighting system,pickint and killing enemies are lot of fun,wish to have more detail or better design od game loop
very cute idea and presentation(yea i was clickbated cause of title of the game xd), ive done the game and it is very potencial intresting mixing mechanic, i would like to play in more expanded version of a game:3
I played a little and I was kinda confused what to do. Mostly running around and opening chest. But I really like an artstyle!
It's an interesting game.
Pleasant to play. I like the graphic style and the game mechanics, but I couldn't find the real objective to achieve. After several invocations, I found myself with lots of food in the room, with no real progress to show for it... like opening a door to a new room or collecting points.
I couldn't understand at all, why am I feeding my fridge with stuff and he burps at me rats for this. Nevertheless, I did it few times and had some fun, until I fully filled the fridge with meat and got massively burped.
Fun concept! Interesting that the player has to summon the enemies with by putting food in the fridge. Next step would be to add some sfx and then give the combat some polish. Overall well done!
I like the concept, it is fun, trippy shooter, using a fridge for summoning is a very unique concept, summoning a midnight snack! I honestly found it interesting, fitting graphics. Some SFX and polish would make things a bit more comfortable when things go awry.
It's cool. I think it can be better with some sfx and some light to highlight where the main character is.
I think the game is fun! Would be better if there was SFX! good job, keep it up!
Cool idea, I liked it. But in my opinion you made too many control buttons - I constantly got confused with them). And it’s a pity that there wasn’t at least some background music. It was also not very convenient to carry one item at a time and it would be cool to see the outline on the item you pick up, but these are minor things. Overall I liked it.
