Hey, I can't see the link to the game. Is this supposed to be published already?

tstapely07 2024-04-15 20:38

Hmm, might just be me, but seems like itch.io is cropping your game weirdly, I can't see the bottom portion of the screen.

tollona 2024-04-15 20:55

Enjoyed the setting and Dommy Nunny :smile: The art is beautiful and gameplay is smooth. The summoning scrolls could close on summon but I can see it being an executive decision to make the kitchen management more demanding. The game didn't load on this page for me but I got to play it on itch.

leozero 2024-04-15 20:57

Same as @tstapely07, it's sad, the game looks amazing :slight_smile:

derllie 2024-04-15 21:05

@jack728 its published already on itch.io, you can play it there now!

ian-ouellette 2024-04-15 21:32

Very fun concept! The art and sound were really good, and having a tutorial like that for a jam is great. Nicely polished other than the scrolls summoning dozens of ratburgers for a single click, but that's funny and pretty thematic anyway. Having a more intricate process for summoning ingredients would have made it more fun but I can see why you'd keep that part simple for now, great work overall!

literally-void 2024-04-15 22:00

Gave everyone the "nothing but rat burgers" special. 10/10 no notes.

The music is a little jarring when it starts---maybe there could've been some sort of music from the start? But when it does play, it's *incredible!*

Awesome art and sound effects too!

thedugnutt 2024-04-16 01:33

This is great, I love the art and the different ingredients are super fun! Nice job :)

ulziton 2024-04-16 02:14

Very cool idea and realisation

darallchii 2024-04-16 09:49

idea is very interesing, but resolution of the game is really strange.. Art is really great, i love the concept of unusual ingredients, that really matches the idea of the game :))

fenix131113 2024-04-16 13:39

Great art, but need more customers and they generation

kseniya 2024-04-16 13:39

very beautiful visual, creative!

melissa-stodolnik 2024-04-16 13:48

cool atmosphere!

f13 2024-04-16 14:15

Very cool visual

viscera 2024-04-16 14:58

нам понравилась игра, арт великолепен, как и идея игры!)

vincenttt 2024-04-16 15:21

круто

lipr 2024-04-16 17:20

Игра целом простая, но в данном случае это даже хорошо! Мне нравится простая гениальность задумки. Это забавно, как мы призываем рецепты из другого мира, чтобы собрать для каждого клиента свой предпочитаемый бургер). Процесс игры расслабляющий с удовольствием поиграла в него! В целом стилистика арта тоже соблюдена. В нём ничего не нагружено, всё понятно разложено, стиль подходит под саму игру и это круто. Мой глаз порадовался) Буду ждать ваших следующих игр

afk-shark 2024-04-16 17:40

Omg, I saw the development of the game and knew that it would be very cool! And so it turned out, the game is insanely interesting and funny! The visual part complements the game very well! Great job! <3

kashagotova 2024-04-16 18:41

I love the art! it makes waterfalls in my mouth!! Intresting mechanics, playing this game relaxed me a little bit

hlebnay-kroshka 2024-04-16 18:46

Очень классный концепт!

aaron-hart 2024-04-16 19:45

This is good! I love the art/character designs and the music fits perfectly. But seriously dude, beets on a burger? Sickening :)

kate-izym 2024-04-16 20:46

Why do squashed rats look so... delicious? I like the idea of summoning burgers)

dywanix 2024-04-16 20:52

Artstyle is great!

kirass 2024-04-16 22:59

I like this game! You guys are great!

sslleepwalker 2024-04-17 10:20

Очень приятная игра и задумка.Лично для меня было неудобно не видеть ингредиенты и были проблемы с пролистыванием вниз экрана, часто не видела, какие ингредиенты добавляются.

the4thcircle 2024-04-17 10:42

This looks cool and seemed likea fun idea but I couldn't seem to get the resolution right on any of my devices, it always cut off part of the interface, making it unusable.

ljay 2024-04-17 10:43

Не сразу понял геймплей, но в целом интересно получилось! Понравился арт и юмор)

rewquji 2024-04-17 11:15

блин сразу вспоминаются игры с готовкой в которые играла лет 5 назад)) очень крута!

anifan-gelati 2024-04-17 11:19

It's a fun little game. I think more levels could have been made. Also could have made the ingredient selection a single click instead of two. And so, quite good, or as we say in Russia, Zayebis'

mathieuspooky 2024-04-17 11:29

The game seems nice, but I can't scroll down (I see white bars appearing upwards). I'm playing on macOS in the Arc browser (Chromium).

beebster-games 2024-04-17 11:30

The sound and the music were very good. The game concept is excellent.

That being said, I could not see the place where the burger was being made. Also, once the item is picked it should AUTOMATICALLY close the scroll

Thanks for the fun play.

sozey 2024-04-17 11:39

That was really funny, I can see it being made into a full game! That also made me hungry...

leperidot 2024-04-17 11:40

It is a bit annoying to have to click one time to open the scroll, a second to summon the ingredient and a third time to close the scroll. Otherwise, nice game.

edali 2024-04-17 11:41

The game was fun to play although I couldn't see the bottom of the kitchen at first. I really like the art and the character great job! The music is great as well. Overall it looks clean and it is fun. ^^

neod 2024-04-17 12:06

Cool art! It took me a while to figure out how to summon the ingredients. It's a little inconvenient that you need to switch between ordering and cooking with arrows. For some reason, I always wanted to see who you were cooking for. :-) But when I got used to it, I liked the process itself, it turned out interesting!

d0vid 2024-04-17 12:31

Very nice visuals and polished gameplay, great job !

patatenouille 2024-04-17 12:40

Really cool ! Great looking and sounding !

> You don't need to know what will happen if you don't [serve the customers properly]

Well, you were wrong, I had to try again after winning to see what'd happen hehehe :P

In terms of gameplay it's quite simple and trivial. I was surprised you couldn't send the order if all the required ingredients weren't present, or that there doesn't seem to be a time limit, so you really have to try to lose in order not to win which is a little odd.

Usually this kind of game gets some challenge from either a time limit, relying on player skills to improve to use the interface/controls faster, or using some random/uncontrollable elements, things like physics making the stacked order fall or some other disturbance that has to be dealt with, or by using confusion with the interface mixing up some information, playing tricks or requiring the player to remember things properly.

Although I'm guessing with this game you went for the chill and casual vibe (which you nailed btw), I still think a little bit of challenge would make for an even better experience. It doesn't have to be hard but I think it's when your efforts allow you to avoid failure that they become meaningful.

Overall this is a very solid entry, casual but effective, my highest rated yet ! Congrats !

thiago-neumann 2024-04-17 12:42

I loved the crossover between hamburgers and Satanism!! but I couldn't play

beauchama 2024-04-17 12:51

Love the game. Love theses weird recipes :D

thiago-neumann 2024-04-17 12:52

Now I can play!! very fun and the visual decision was really cool.

sodoj 2024-04-17 12:53

Cooking games are my guilty pleasure and this is a good one. As others have noted, there is an issue with cropping on itch version once you go to full screen and it took me a bit of time to figure out how to send the first order, but once I got hang of it I had a great time!

wakobu 2024-04-17 12:54

Awesome ambiance and graphics! The gameplay is quite basic, but it does the job.

thiago-neumann 2024-04-17 12:56

@patatenouille wow, what a profound assessment! Take a look at my team's project, please!! Your analysis is great!

antti-haavikko 2024-04-17 13:09

Tried it twice and keep getting a "bad ending"? Am I constantly getting screwed by the ingredients not correctly stacking to the burger or is there even a non fail ending?

Screenshot 2024-04-17 at 15.51.53.png

Well, third time the charm I guess. Was extra careful now with my ingredient draggings...

Screenshot 2024-04-17 at 16.09.10.png

The gameplay itself was kinda boring and clunky. As I already eluded above, the ingredients sometimes didn't stick to the burger itself when dragging them on place but just stayed there on the area beneath. Especially happened to me when the burger was getting tall enough and I instinctually dragged the ingredients near the top, not to the bottom where I think the hit area was no matter what.

Having to close the scroll each time was a bit annoying. Felt like an unnecessary extra step now that there was no time limit or anything. Would make a lot more sense if there was time constraint so that you would need to flex your memory or waste time toggling them on and off again. But right now it felt like and extra step. Just extra clicks that were already a bit too plentiful. But of course removing/automating those would make the game very thin.

Art looked great! Adding even a bit of movement would have really livened it up though. The sounds and music served their purpose, though nothing too amazing, it still felt really silent and monotonous.

Anyways, good job! 👍

martenj 2024-04-17 13:11

I always wanted to be a burger boy like Sponge Bob and in this game I am a Statan Sponge Bob in a really great Art Style! The Art is really on point and and everything is pretty smooth and solid for a 3 days, great work! Would love to see more, so that the game get more depth, to play it again and again!

p-r 2024-04-17 13:11

what's the "Mkhomt" sauce?

derllie 2024-04-17 13:12

@p-r our special sauce with bugs:)

roman-dubrovin 2024-04-17 13:15

I like the graphics and sound.

nusan 2024-04-17 13:41

I love the mood of this game, and the dialogue are super cute. It's a bit short and the game is easy but I like the art a lot, now I want a burger... The music works well, the ending one might be a bit too upbeat for the setting ahah. I had some trouble playing the game, it doesn't load here and on itch.io I first tried putting it in fullscreen and has it has an unusual screen ratio I couldn't see everything, and then even when not in fullscreen it was broken somehow and I couldn't see the "send order" button. After a reload of the page and no attempt to put in fullscreen, it finally worked correctly. Anyway, really cool entry, keep up the good work!

k-toll 2024-04-17 14:17

I like the atmosphere and the design of the game, good job!

deborah-messaoudene 2024-04-17 14:37

First of all the graphics are really good, music and environnement are cool! Also, really good job on tutorial and explanation also, it really helps start playing easily. I had some problem with the size of the screen, i couldn't see everything in my window so I couldn't send my burger. I don't really know how to fix this but I'd love to play again :)

baluj 2024-04-17 14:47

I like the music and it is a complete game. However, I have had problems being able to send orders to clients.

lobbienjonsjii 2024-04-17 14:55

I love all the ominous ingredients as well as the bizarre requests by the customers. The graphics were fantastic! The process of summoning the ingredients was a little annoying, with the scroll obscuring the ingredient below.

pigeonic 2024-04-17 15:18

The art is beautiful! It did feel like it was a bit too easy, maybe a timer on each order would work? Good job!

duvdvan 2024-04-17 15:25

Дико понравилось то, как все отрисовано, особенно дизайны персонажей. Из минусов выделю то, что после призыва ингредиента свиток не сворачивается обратно, и частенько происходит так, что ,при попытке закрыть его, снова призывается ингредиент, и приходится его сжигать. Вообще, игра очень классная, прям вайб Папы Луи и подобных игр. Вы большие молодцы, ребят, удачи вам!

rensun 2024-04-17 17:01

Beautiful game! And the mechanics are cool

ruslana 2024-04-17 17:34

Nice art!

firellon 2024-04-17 17:45

There's some insane production value here! Scrolls would be great to not have open/close all the time and the length could be a bit more, with maybe the speed being an additional factor?

gabriel-bissonnette 2024-04-18 01:23

I like the concept and the art style! Great job on the music too.

Also I feel like clicking the ingredient could spawn it without the need of another click, but great game anyway

sobad 2024-04-18 03:01

As far as the presentation goes, your team knocked it out of the park. You have good sound, a really nice, cohesive visual style, and a fun universe to set the game in. Working at a fast food restaurant that serves disgusting food to evil characters is funny, and I was drawn in immediately!

From a gameplay perspective, this submission is missing its core mechanic, in my opinion. I'm not quite sure it's a game yet. The current loop is following simple instructions under no time pressure or compounding mechanic of any kind, which I think is a shame since every other aspect of this project is fantastic.

naplz98 2024-04-18 03:21

It took me a while to understand how to assemble the burgers and I read the tutorial 3 times xd. Finally I understood it and I was able to play it well! I still got the bad ending, I've been sent back to hell :(. Very good idea adapted to the theme of the jam, I loved the art and very fun gameplay! image.png

euler-moises 2024-04-18 05:29

The art is very beautiful!

The game is easy. Think about creating something that makes it harder as the level goes up.

Congratulations for the game!

ziggy 2024-04-18 07:23

Very nice game! Such amazing art and funny story. The game could have just a bit of progression but i enjoyed it nonetheless. Good work!

castitatis 2024-04-18 08:30

the game has such an amazing art and atmosphere, I really liked it :)

sariiger 2024-04-18 08:37

I was a fun game! Got the good ending on the first try!

jean-francois 2024-04-18 17:33

Verry funny it was one of our idea during the brainstormong ^^' the game is clean well done, but cropped :/ I was impossible to see the bottom of the game :/

mumu 2024-04-18 19:18

I unfortunately couldn't get it to launch on here and it was cropping weirdly on itch. I wasn't a fan of the controls and the gameplay could be better tbh like the scrolls were annoying and it could be cooler to figure out the ingredients yourself or to cook some of them instead of going through a list but I definitely was a fan of the art!

tommy 2024-04-18 22:34

Really strong graphics, and a simple mechanic which is polished enough to be very nice to play. On Linux it did not load properly here (worked fine on itch.io but not in fullscreen, where it was cropped).

player04 2024-04-19 03:25

top notch art. the concept was cool. would have liked better scroll closing logic and a way to get to the tutorial/controls page without restarting the game. overall a consistent and solid game, nice work!

pusheeneiro 2024-04-19 12:51

Beautiful graphics and from what I see, inspired by Potion Craft

dimi-kaye 2024-04-19 15:45

Fantastic visuals and art, fantastic music, funny dialogue, it took me a bit to understand how the screen works but super well done!

baubau 2024-04-19 16:19

Burgers be looking kinda good! Well done! Gotta have some cucaracha spice, mmm

jorbits 2024-04-19 16:57

The art is really good and the burgers look really demonic. Interesting that another group made a game about burgers, because we also made a game called "Demon Burger" :hamburger:

thegreatcarpet 2024-04-19 18:38

@pusheeneiro And you're absolutely right! I was inspired by potion craft and the suffering Middle Ages.

khofez 2024-04-19 18:55

Lol! Fun game! Great work

retrific 2024-04-19 19:39

Beautiful but I had problems with the HTML5 version where I was not able to see the Send order button. I think the screen at the bottom was cut off or something

asfdfdfd 2024-04-19 19:51

Unfortunately game was cropped for me on html5 and windows builds. :(

paul-maaswinkel 2024-04-19 21:06

Awesome art and music! Nice and creepy. As others mentioned as well: less clicking would make it even more fun I think. Great job overall.

gobigredfan 2024-04-20 16:14

Gorgeous art, not the only take on this concept I've seen in this jam but definitely the cleanest execution of it. I also had issues with the embedded player of itch unfortunately.

liquidfunk 2024-04-20 18:15

Very interesting take on theme, I thought this was great! However I couldn't see the bottom 33% of the screen, it was cut off on the itch page...idk why :( I could barely see the burger or anything below where you select your ingredients!

pres2300 2024-04-21 17:51

Well done! The music and art on this were great. One mark against the music is that the replay loop could be a bit jarring, otherwise it was great! Like others, I got a bad ending and didn't really understand why. I was probably messing something up I didn't realize, but I could have sworn I did it all correctly. I also felt the summoning scrolls could be a bit clunky as you would have to unroll a scroll and then click on it again to get an ingredient to appear. Other than that, I thought it was a interesting take on the theme and a funny food making game. Nice job!

recursiveanomaly 2024-04-22 03:45

It was great to see someone else make a cooking game. The art is simply fantastic. Thanks for the game.

oldmanjoe9 2024-04-22 04:10

One thing that I would recommend improving is the amount of arbitrary waiting in the game. I like the type effect for dialog, but it took a long time to be fully typed in and then the ingredients were added to your list. If those could have been done together the player wouldn't be waiting too long before getting started

The art and sound was very atmospheric, definitely fit the theme, and this is a really good start to a more fully fleshed out cooking game design, add in a few minigames or drawing out some designs and a couple extra reasons to switch back and forth between the top and bottom screens and you've got a decent game

yasgal 2024-04-22 10:25

Really funny, but sadly I've lost

osh-studio 2024-04-26 03:37

Beautiful art ! Loved the medieval demon style, and the blob fish burger. It would be great if the dialogue was a little bit quicker! Great submission

burns 2024-04-27 23:10

well done. i enjoyed the art.

sheol 2024-05-01 04:35

I really adore the artstyle for the game and I like that the characters sort of have some personality to them and their orders. Overall great job!

niighty-nine 2024-05-01 17:57

Nice art and music. Might be better if the texts popping faster, and have 16:9 resolution and rearrange the layout to not have the up and down buttons. Overall is great. :D
