Cult of the Cook by Don Fouts 2024-04-16T02:58:38Z
the mood and humor is great, I love the take on the theme. the art is greatly stylized. unfortunately I had a pretty buggy experience with my character pretty frequently being in the wrong state

what a novel way of using the theme, good stuff
pretty fun, good scope for the amount of time, well done!
really fun prompts, I couldn't really give it a high rating for theme but a great game otherwise
solid, decent game. felt like playing an old classic
cute, I really like these meta narrative type games
Day one patch! we've just uploaded a new one to fix an issue with summons timing out while you are in the process of summoning. please redownload before rating!
@drgcandle I really appreciate the kind words but we can't take credit for the art style. the art was made by Limezu and you can find more of their work on itch.io
very cool concept, a good challenge. would stand to be supported by some mellow puzzle music.
Very fun and cute.
Something I haven't noticed anyone else say yet, I think you may have used a positional audio to play the BGM, if you used streamaudio2d, try just stream audio
this is so fun and unique. the only thing i would say is give the player a bit more time to see the elements and react
great scope for a jam, addicting, awesome job.
very pretty game. I do have to say the controls and teeth interaction need a little fine tuning. sometimes it feels like I'm not interacting with teeth when I should and other times it feels like I'm interacting with the wrong teeth. the sound design provided a very chill environment which puts you into a false sense of ease to really shock you when the jaw snaps shut, very well done!
nice game, good scope for a jam, music was fun, concept was easy to pick up
could use some feedback on how much chocolate is needed to equal 4 chocolate, fun fluid physics. my waffle station got very gross lol
cute idea. It looks like you can lock yourself out of anything else if you say no to both the hooded figure and the lady after returning from the lower floor with the wallet and eggs
very fun, I love escape rooms. seems like you had some trouble with colliders on the exit after opening the way to the heart. there was also a few interactable I could get through walls like the first statue and one of the doors.
works well, nice game!
I really wasn't expecting the voice over, good take on the theme, well done.
very cool concept, very well executed. I really like this take on the theme of depths. I had thought about the depths of consciousness but didn't know how to pull it off, this is awesome.
I enjoyed the theme and art, but I felt like I wasn't really given much to do. I get it was an auto battler but maybe more stats would make me feel more invested, like choosing to specialize in sanity vs physical damage. the hold w segments felt unneeded.
great art style, fun game, works well!
high energy, nice beats, fun game. colliders can use a little work, but that's a jam game for you!
I dig the vibe, would like some QoL think like quick playing cards with double click or selecting a group of cards and then p[laying them all at once kind of thing. dragging them to the screen space can be a tad cumbersome. great art!
CARL NOOOOOOO! fun idea, if it weren't for the jam timing I'd expect there would be more weapons to play with. I feel like the player needs more to do. there isn't really any reason for the first person view with this amount of interaction.
oh man, what a throwback, so nostalgic. one of my first horror game and my first introduction to SCP! thank you for tickling that old memory
cute game, good scope for a jam. didn't run into any technical issues. well done!
could really use some feedback for scoring hits and being hit
I give up, I only fond one, take my rating
sorry, the game won't launch. I was looking forward to collecting memories, I love a mystery.
maybe, my download screwed up, I'll redownload and try again tomorrow. I never had the option of sending an error report, my screen just went black for a while before showing my desktop again with no open application.
@khamekaze oh, I see we didn't communicate that bit properly. blood and trash go in the same bucket and the bucket only holds so much. I think we should have laid the bars on top of each other so you'd see the blood fill from the other side and hit the trash and then stop.
@semenchk what was the bug you ran into?
most environment art was created by @wles and most character art and collectible art was created by @ajores. all of it was created in house!
@nnnnneeeedddd thanks, the art was heavily inspired by the original GTA game! you do need to be close enough to something for the trash arm to swing out and grab something. I wanted to create some kind of indicator but ran out of time. the collection areas are about half the size of the truck and directly to the left and right of the truck, you can only collect something when it's in that area and you have a tool to collect it. so you would need the left arm before you can collect from the left side.
@ArianaRaine psssst, you should try collecting a person ;). it gets easier after you hit them!
@preef @thierry @harleylikesmusic @skeler @woona yeah, we wanted to make an indicator to get you back home but ran out of time. we're thinking of adding those last bits of polish and posting it as a directors cut not to be rated on like we did in the last jam.
nice job! we also did a trash game!
very cute, great mood! I'm gonna try for a bad end!
I couldn't really figure out how to interact with anyone. I found the underwear but I could only drop it next to the screaming guy, I couldn't figure out how to give it to him.
aiming seems to break in certain parts of the map for some reason, nice casual survival game
sorry, it just crashes to a black screen before I can finish reading the controls :(
interesting little puzzle game. a couple levels were completed as soon as I touched one rune and it wasn't clear to me why I didn't need to interact with the other.
pretty cute, could use some music and a timer to show you how well your doing. nicely done!
