Great game! To be honest, from the screenshots I was afraid it was going to be a generic "keep everything in the cart" game. But you really put a unique spin on it.
The visual style, sound and gameplay all match up great! A simple concept that's explained in 2 or 3 lines, but can become infinitely more complex with additional cargo.
Great entry!
Voice acting was on point! Nice concept, especially the fact that certain... (lookin at you fat guy) hostages have different effects. Great job!
Nice entry with a real eerie ambiance, nice implementation of the theme in a way that fits the world and gameplay. Pros: - Nice ambiance and world - Straightforward concept that's taught by gradual introduction rather than forced tutorials. - Nice application of theme that fits with the gameplay.
Cons: - Lighting on nearby blocks seems a bit too "shiny" for the style. - Movement & turning speed feels a tad too slow at times.
Great job! :)
This is such an awesome game. I hate spiders, pure and simple, but who could hate those cute lil faces!? I saw your development updates on the feed a few times, so I'm really happy I came across your finished game, and definitely a unique one. I love the world, gameplay is simple but fun, and gets a bit crazy after a while!
Pros: - Simple, fun gameplay - Some nice, unobtrusive narrative that makes me like the character - unique world/idea - Nice art - it really just works for the gameplay.
Cons: - Viewing angle can go a way you're not expecting it, causing obstruction - Controls can be a little iffy when the above happens and you turn on the spot without changing keys
A really nice entry that I could see becoming a full game. This would be really cool with some additional goals & possibly a level-based progression. Great job!
Neat entry, can't feel the effect of the increasing difficulty too much, but a nice entry nonetheless! Love the little intro animation!
Wow, this game just *works*. Really great job, this is definitely a front runner in my eyes. A really unique spin on the concept, with a great mechanic that just doesn't... uhh. ummm yes.... uh... uhm seem to ... uhh ... get old!
Making my character constantly spew strings of "uhhs" and "uhhms" was just so fun, every time. The characters were great, that shop owner was definitely an evil alien robot in disguise!
I'd love to see this expanded, I'd definitely buy it! Really great job!
Love seeing voice acting in Ludumdare! Great little game, nice use of the theme, and nice style! Great job!
For a start, this is a hella polished game for even a jam game, massive well done to your team. The graphic style is on point, controls are really irksome, in a good way, because that's how ships should handle.
I started to question how it related to the theme, then I learnt the hard way when 2 precious boxes full of prime loot took a dive, those poor sods, but not soon after I collided with another ship... Perhaps the first fallen boxes were the lucky ones!
Overall I really enjoyed playing this entry, solid art, mechanics, music & theme adherence, great job!
For your first unity game it's great! Nice simple mechanics - get coins and dodge bullets - I like it, no explaining needed.
The little flipper-like walking animation really reminds me of Pingu, so nice blast of nostalgia there!
An issue with the web build seems to be that the UI is cut off a lot, might just need a setting tweaked to scale to screen size.
Nice job though, great entry!
Nice spin on the theme! That little beat in the music sure is catchy!
Loved it! It's not unusual for LD entries to go unfinished due to the timeline, so I wouldn't worry! The mechanics are great, love the 1-2 punch. The controls work well (although use of numpad requires numlock to be on, could cause issues for some).
Love the beatboxing background music, you must have been well out of breath! overall a great entry! Good job!
Nice entry! It's a nice take on the theme as you need the goop to a certain point, which means you have to balance your goopification.
Love the little victory sprite/animation, I feel like this could be a really interesting concept for a game outside the bounds of the jam.
Nice entry, great job! :)
Impressive to build the rendering etc from the ground up, however actual gameplay/style etc is a bit lackluster. Nice application of the theme, I'm sure it was a great experience to code all the rendering code from scratch in the tight timeframe! Looking forward to your future entries to see how you progress :)
Really cool spin on the theme. I'd love to see this expanded outside the scope of the jam, perhaps with a level-based approach with varying numbers of "things".
Nevertheless, great job!
Really cool concept, love the little eggo hatching! I feel that the abilities could perhaps be a bit more precise? or maybe they're meant to be a bit loose to keep it balanced and allow for accidents etc.
The mouse moving the camera was a little awkward, perhaps arrow / WASD to move could be a secondary option?
Great game, great concept, I'd love to see this expanded outside the compo. Nice work! :)
Great spin on the theme, hilarious snorting sound effect on pickup of the certain white substance had me diving for it every time.
Pros: - Great take on the theme - Nice stats at the end tying together everything you picked up on your "trip" - Nice effects caused by various pickups
Cons: - Graphics applicable but a little lacking
Overall a great entry, had a good laugh playing this, thanks!
Reminds me a lot of that old slenderman game. Didn't feel the effect of the theme too much, but nice entry nonetheless!
Spooktastic! Talk about nightmare customers, literally! Really fun game. I was a dope the first round and got wrecked by my first customer, so every other round I was frantically trying to keep them happy lest I get face-jacked.
Love the recipe/cooking mechanics, took me a minute to figure out the eggs, but that handy blackboard had me covered.
Love the concept, execution, ambiance and spooks, great entry!
Nice concept, low how they all look like lil southpark characters!
Pros: - Good concept - Consistent Style
Cons: - Controls are a bit glitchy - pathfinding is a bit janky, leading to stuck soldiers
Nice atmosphere/ambiance too, feels really gritty! Great job!
I thought for sure *horse noises* was an innuendo of some sort, but the "your mom is proud of you but..." surely put that idea to rest!
Really cool concept, nice dash of humor and extreme personalities, flowing conversation and... "DUDE WATER.."! Nicely applied the theme and put a relatable spin on it. Nice UI and icons/backgrounds.
Overall a really nice entry, only iffy thing is, I saw this first on my phone, and loaded it up on my phone. The game size was perfect and almost looked like my phone got a pixel demake, but tapping didn't do what clicking does, so it was unplayable. This would work really well on mobiles if tapping was a possible input!
But, as I said, a great entry, really nice work. I'd love to see this expanded!
What a brilliantly absurd little game! At first I was confused, then I realized I was merely in the pilot seat of a galactic klutz! After that I just went mental smashing it all.
I like that the theme is more conceptually represented, definitely has an "arty" vibe to the whole experience.
Great job, I look forward to seeing how you represent future themes in this way! :)
A little complex to start, but a really interesting spin on the genre. I'd love to see this idea fleshed out outside the limits of the jam. Great job!
Quite a surreal experience, wasn't sure how it related to the theme until she took off like a bolt! Unique visual style and interesting implementation of the theme. Good job!
I've gotta say, on the face of it, this game is deceptive. It looks simple and a bit basic, but it's pure gold! The music, effects, rapidly spinning bottles of spirits, goofiness, clumsiness and overall mood was nailed in this entry.
It's a quick play, but it's got tons of character and charm, I'd love to see this expanded to a full game! Great job!
Thank you all for your comments! They've certainly put a big grin on my face. I'm considering expanding this after the voting ends, and I'm noting all the great feedback provided to improve the game. Glad you all enjoyed the stress of running the most manic restaurant around! :D
Hey everyone, just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for playing and rating. No matter what score I get, I'm so happy that so many people enjoyed my game. Special thanks to @ponchoguy & @jupiter-hadley for the streams, watched them both and I'm happy to see you enjoyed it! I'm currently looking in to expanding this in the new year, if you're interested, you can follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/Arcadiaxdev Thanks Again!
