cool 3D and vibe!
Very cool 3D! The waffles look yummy
The game looks like really cool ! But it crashed when I try to add blueberries...
@butterflan did you play with the batter first? There is a crash when no fluid in the scene.
clever game! I was surprised to see another Unreal dev in the jam, can I ask why you used such an old version?
I love how disgusting this bar is and how those customers just don't give a fk lmao
Lol very funny game, love the physics and the general ambition on display. The floppy waffles were beautiful. Unfortunately I kinda sucked ass at the game, all of my waffle creations were horrible abominations, but I feel like that's kinda the point lmao good work, super unique entry
The visuals and the music is really good. The gameplay idea is fine. But the game feels a buggy and unfinished. Overall a fine little jam game.
Fun little shop simulator that kinda starts a bit stressful ("oh **** everything is going everywhere!"), but then when you get the hang of it almost becomes meditative.
The visuals look amazing! If you develop the concept further and add multiplayer, this could be an incredibly fun game to play with friends
@srolfe657 I couldn't make a proper soft body simulation in Unreal 5. Chaos Flesh sucks. Do you know any good plugins for this by any chance?
**Cool game with awesome physics! Makes me feel like I'm working the day shift at the Krusty Krab** :crab:

overall nice vibe and yummy looking waffles, but it keeps on crashing for me ^^'
It is very cool and beautiful and I wonder how to make all of this in JAM time restriction, so you did really awesome! Unfortunately, It crashes frequently after the first client on my PC, I don't know why. Checked other cooments, I believe I had fluid in the scene.
Anyway, you did super cool! I hope you have some plans to develop this one to a complete released project!
@eugenik I've not seen any plugins for it just a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coIU64TMuZI
very cool idea, love the visual, the waffle looks really nice when i finsh making. good job!
i think my shop sells deconstructed waffles lmao. fun mechanics especially once i figured out how to speedrun the waffles. not sure if balancing the stuff on the waffles had any impact on score but that would actually be a super cool mechanic (all my waffles fell over :P). didn't notice upgrades having much impact unforturnately - but has the potential to add a lot of replayability to this game. also i think all my waffles have chocolate on the bottom now hahah - free chocolate for all!
could use some feedback on how much chocolate is needed to equal 4 chocolate, fun fluid physics. my waffle station got very gross lol
That was fun ! But my waffles kept sliding off and sometimes I didn't know why my accuracy wasn't higher :cry:
Strange game. Well done ++
Really fun game, and it perfectly demonstrates why I shouldn't be allowed into the kitchen. Great job!
super cute game! I love seeing fellow Unreal games on here, glad you're getting lots of exposure! I think it might be better if the station was cleaned after each customer. While it was funny how thigs got messier after each customer it was frustrating that the chocolate buildup would make the next orders waffles slide off :sweat: Also I don't know if it was a bug but the waffle cooking was really fast, if you double clicked the waffle maker a full waffle was ready instantly.
Keep up the good work though! loved it!
Loved the mood on this one! But now I want a waffle :-/
Chaos, pure waffle chaos!
Ha, very fun physics based game, and even with soft waffle physics! I was enjoying it despite my accuracy was low. Unfortunately game crashes for me after I finish order. I didn't found logs, only crashdump.
@gdman crashdump could do, can you post it in itch comments or here please?
@eugenik -
Very cool 3d! The game is a lot of fun to play, and also after this game I really wanted to eat some sweets
Very silly with the sloppy liquid/softbody physics. Definitely getting Krusty Krab vibes lol
That said, I think the physics were a bit buggy. Often got things "correct" (when I totally didn't) and something got things partially wrong when I thought I actually got them right. Could use a little more feedback when a specific item is "good to go". The hand-painted graphics were very nice though and I liked the gameplay loop. Overall not a bad entry here.
I love the silliness of putting the waffles together. I too had crashes prevent me from playing very much though. the graphics and physics were great though.
textures looks really good, but gameplay too repetative and mechanics of cooking work strange.
Graphics were nice. I felt like I was just spraying batter and chocolate all over the place instead of coming anywhere near actually making waffles, though :rofl:
Fun little game, definitely a vibe.
Congratulations on spending 1 minute per game before rating. It's very disrespectful and I hope you understand that all you do is hurt yourself in the process. All of your comments are so generic that you could add it to any game, there is no trace of substance to the point where one can question if you even played at all. That's not helpful to anyone. You would not like to have each of the comments you received be generic 4 word comments.
It is against the spirit of the Jam, please better yourself.
@Anonyphant the rating has been going on for 10 days. I spend around 5-10 minutes per game - which is the same amount of time people are playing my game (according to ingame stats).
@anonyphant hey I have 30 minutes this evening, you can link your game so I would play and rate! And no, every rating is helpful especially while they're below 20!
very fun i like the game :) i played for a very long time :) :)
@cammyrnn if this is you, yes, very long time, around 18 minutes! Thanks :) Snímek obrazovky 2025-04-19 155611.png
Very cute game - liked the food assets a lot!
I got a hard crash pretty soon after playing. I'm not sure how to get/create a crash dump, but if you want to explain how I can try and post it
@atsh was the crash to desktop without any message? Or was there Unreal crash reporter? The stack trace message would be enough.
@eugenik it was a hard crash without any message
No technical glitches here, I did occasionally pour batter on a closed waffle iron though.
Great concept, I was trying so hard to align waffles on the plate for presentation to see if my accuracy went up, but couldn't get above 40% :cry:
If you continue to develop post-compo , a cloth to wipe down the work surfaces would be a cool addition, say if you get a customer allergic to chocolate and your work-station is compromised with sauce all over the shop :smiley:

I did everything as insanely as I could, it was fun to pour batter and chocolate everywhere but still get a really high score on every breakfast haha. this is super impressive for the limited time you had!
WontStop.png The syrup wouldn't stop! And then the game crashed haha, but this was fun. I love games about food! The 3D movement is a bit wonky, but I like the placement marker. It's pretty fun to make waffles and add fruits, nice job!! But once I opened the game again, it didn't crash!
@sarah any ideas on how to make the gameplay loop more fun? I went all in with the physics, but I see the gameplay is very basic.
I think just having a few more types of fruits or toppings could really help with variety. It kinda ended up being same-y. But also I think something that would add a lot is some type of mini game with cooking the waffles, so MAYBE you can burn them, or you could also get a rating on how well you cooked it.
Managing multiple waffle machines to cook a few at a time could also be fun, if the waffles took longer to cook! It's a pretty good base line \o/
