Nice game, it's easy to understand and fun. Great to have added a leaderboard. I love the monster/halloween theme, the art is very well done. A small detail, if I were you I would change the message "1X eye" to "1 eye" to be clearer, or "x1 eye" if you want to keep the x.
I have no problem with chrome.
Cute game, the idea is simple and efficient! I love the "picked cat" sprite. It would be handy to be able to use the right click to catch the cats and the left click to feed them.
What can I say, I just loved it! This game is super clean and looks finish. The sound fits the game perfectly, I love the style and the gameplay is very fun.
If I want to nitpick, I have some remarks about the level creation mini-game where you have to drag & drop. I find it more difficult than the others, because of lack of time. Also, it's not easy to distinguish the interactive elements because everything is pink. On the other hand, the mini-game where you have to collect the food that falls is very simple. Maybe that's the point, it's always a bit of a rest to finally go eat after 10 hours of "work"...
The game is fun but it's very hard to move around with an AZERTY keyboard.
Nice game, I was very bad the first time and I blocked myslef with other cars. I couldn't move anymore :'( block.png
Great work on this game, the way you have taken the theme into account is superb. The tutorial and intro is well done and very useful.
It's sometimes frustrating to be limited to 1 second per bonus/malus. There's not always enough time to enjoy it.
Best game, sound and graphics are great. The rhythm is nice, I almost feel like I can play the guitar.
Nice work, the game is easy to learn and it is immediately clear what to do. It would have been nice if the sprites had been improved a bit. It always makes me feel weird about the direction of the character's eyes, I feel like he's looking behind him ^^
Hi @vein, thank you for your feedback! Indeed, we would have liked to integrate the name of the restaurants in the sprites to more easily identify what is what. Is this what you would have liked? Right now, when a restaurant has no orders for you and you press space, it tells you its name. Example: "Big Donald: No orders for you."
Thanks @capitals ! I understand that it's hard to find your way around and remember where the NPCs are. But I think that's part of the game and why it is difficult. That's what we wanted. The goal was for the player to rack their brains trying to remember where the NPCs are.
Hi @abdullah-firat. If you want to learn more about the game, I invite you to check the 6-image tutorial if you haven't already done so.
Long story short, you receive messages from restaurants (Big Donald, KCF, ...) telling you that they have an order for you. You then have to go to the restaurant in question (identifiable with a mocked-up front) and press space to get the order. The restaurant should give you a clue as to who to deliver to. You have to find that person and press space to give them their order. That's it!
Hi everyone, @vein, @danielkozlov, @adriangray, @capitals, @amythyst, @spacecadet, @innocuousuk, @redneb, @flying-dog-fish, @organicpencil, @fuzzybut,
As several people have made the same remarks, I take the liberty of answering everyone in one message.
We notice that many of you have difficulties to memorize the location of the restaurants, it's a misconception from us. We didn't realize how difficult it was to locate the different restaurants. To address this issue, I'm currently working (slowly) on integrating the restaurants names in the sprites. Here is a quick look on the work in progress. Hope you like it.
Big Donald, top left restaurant :

KCF, top right restaurant :

Chuchichop, middle restaurant :

Chef Michel, bottom left restaurant :

Gromino's, bottom right restaurant :

Do you think it would help? We wish to continue having multiple restaurants on the same map. But, we will add indications at the beginning of the game like "Explore the city and find the 5 restaurants". Also, we will also associate one type of meal per restaurant, Big Donald = burger, KCF = fried chicken, Chuchichop = sushi and Gromino's = pizza. I don't know yet about Chef Michel's meal, any suggestions?
Thanks everyone for your feedback, we are reading everyone comments and taking notes for future updates! Please note, the features I mentioned will note be included in the Ludum Dare 51 version because it's note bug fixes but new content.
Hi @redneb, for information there is music in the background but the volume is very low. You can increase the volume of your browser if you want to listen to it.
Hi @justking144, could you tell me more about which collisions you found disturbing please? Thanks!
Thanks for you feedback @magnus-lindh. You are right, the collision with the isometric view is not ideal. We had planned to be able to go behind a building or a lamp post, but we kept it simple and focused on the gameplay. This problem should be fixed in a future version when the game jam is over.
Thank you for you feedback @weine and @natpat. As you may have seen from the previous comments, we plan to integrate the names of the restaurants on the buildings. Here is a preview of the new map that will arrive after the game jam.

We are also thinking with @thewrath on how to reduce the pressure and not get overwhemed by the new orders coming from restaurants.
Great game, it's simple and working perfectly. I love the fact that you can choose malus by jumping, it's simple to handle.
Nice game! Love the audio and the art, they fit well together. The gameplay is clear, was just a bit confused at first on where to go.
Nice work on this game, I quickly understood what to do. I just had trouble rotating the food to scan it with a AZERTY keyboard. It would be nice to be able to scan them without having to put them down. Also, the right conveyor could be more visible/close to the scanner for easier exit.
Well done, the game is easy to understand and fun. However, it is a little slow, especially at the beginning.
Great game, love the art style! Nice level designing too. It would be even better if the baby's oscillation depended more on the velocity of the bird. The baby movements feels a bit linear and not related to your inputs.
I came across your game by chance, it appealed to me because it is very similar to the one we made for the jam too. I really like your art style, the design of the map is much more advanced and beautiful. Well done to you! It's annoying not to be able to shoot through the trailer though.
One thing I also noticed that greatly improves your game is the car debris and bullet casings on the map, nice work on that. Also, how did you make the curved roads? Is it an image, a tilemap or some other technique?
Nice simple game, easy to understand and fun :) Do the cones have an impact on the score or something else?
The art is great! The atmosphere is calm and cozy, the music and the assets go very well together! Well done
Great game with a lot of mechanics but hard to understand everything at first. You gotta let go, try and learn and just relax and have was fun. I like the fact that you have no pressure and you can retry any time. Nice job
Thanks @stagyl and @diego-teran, did you manage to finish the level? We had a hard time balacing the game and make it accessible at first but tricky in the end.
@steven-c Thank you for your feedback. Shooting is enabled only when you have the trailer with a guy holding a gun, it's in the second trailer checkpoint. Before that, you cannot shoot. About restarting from previous checkpoint, the loading time and off-road penalty, these would be great but we didn't have time to implement them. There is a good chance that we will add them at the end of the game jam, in a future version.
Thanks @gerrit, we didn't have time to save and restart from the last checkpoint, but that seems necessary. Did you manage to finish the game?
Thanks @augmotic for testing our game. Did you manage to finish the level?
Thanks @frelude, you are not the only one to have raised the camera issue, we plan to improve it soon after the jam.
Thanks @yogurtthehorse for testing our game. Indeed, it seems that we were not the most original but we each have our specificities :)
Thanks @gordienkogames for play testing our game. You can't shoot until the 2nd trailer which have a character in it with a gun. The first trailer is empty. But I understand the cursor might be confusing at first.
Wow, I'm impressed by how much the concept is simple but efficient. Very nice job, the game is fun, art is great and music is nice. I have nothing more to say, congratulations :)
Nice submission, loved the idea and it's easy to understand with the in-game tutorial. I got scared at first when it said "Bring 50 rocks" but releaved when it increased by 10 x)
I got a little frustrated by the movement speed, it could be higher. Also, the backpacks physics is fun but it's disturbing that it does not affect the character's movements.
Wow that's amazing, best game I've played so far in this LD. I just finished it and I just wanna play again. Congrats! Capture d’écran 2023-05-07 155538.png EDIT: new highscore: Capture d’écran 2023-05-07 160441.png
Wow great game! Well done. Even the title "Donut park here" made me smile.
Visuals are great, but feels laggy because of the animation frame rate. I may have missed somehting, I didn't see the relation with the theme "Limited Space".
Thanks @n3k for playing! Indeed, it's deliberate to increase the score by sacrificing. It's a way of rewarding the player when its units manage to reach the enemy side. Also a way to get to the higher difficulties quickly.
Thanks for your feedback @verttixpertti @its-capp and @yorsh. I completely agree with you, it lacks a bit of strategy. There are probably a few simple parameters that need to be adapted to make it more challenging. Thanks for your feedback!
Thanks for the suggestion @its-capp, I think a single lost lane like in PvZ would be more interesting.
Nice game, well executed. Graphics are simple and works great with the music. Just had a bit of trouble moving a tank, controls are disturbing for me. As a result, I didn't often have time to play my turn.
Very nice game, it's easy to understand and fun to play. Nice work!
