Interesting idea, but somehow all my sandwiches are stinky... Why?
Haha so they'll be stinky if they're not a valid sandwich. That'll happen if the sandwich isn't fully in the grey prep area, or the ingredients aren't encapsulated by two slices of bread (one on the bottom and one on the top). A sandwich must also have at least one ingredient
Ahhhh two slices of bread... I mean, in Russia we always eating sandwiches with just one slice, so I didn't think about this ;)
Nice art style!
Thanks!! Everything except the city tileset was hand drawn :)
Hey man you have some great visuals here. I like the vibrant colors and the awesome font. I found myself making too many sandwiches before I even figured out that you had to deliver them. I think adding some more polish and a tutorial at the beginning would be really good for this game. Pretty cool game man.
Thanks for playing!!
Adding a tutorial is a good idea :)
Not bad! It's a little confusing at the start, but i can see lots of potential in the loop. There's a few issues, like the lack of a good explanation in the game, the music not looping and mismatch graphics, but with more work this could become a cute fun minigame!
Thanks!! :D
Yeah we don't know what happened with the music. When we play the game locally the music loops fine 🤷.
I agree a tutorial section would be a good add!
Not a bad little game. It was difficult to drive the car as the roads were so narrow. I think the sandwich hit detection could have been more generous. It feels bad when you throw away a good sandwich. All of the customer indicators quickly clog up the screen. I'd recommend just having a minimap show where they are.
Music was great. Some sound effects for putting together the food would have added a nice flavour to it.
Thanks for playing! I definitely agree it feelsbadman when you chuck away a good sammy. I've been debating what the next version of the sandwich indicator would be, and I think a minimap in general would be a good addition, would help with navigating the city.
Thanks for the feedback :)
I like the theme, the truck gave be scoobydoo vibes lol. It took me a bit of time to understand the "shooting" mechanic and I think it could have done without. The on-the-go sandwich truck concept is super cool and fun though!
Thanks for playing! Much appreciated :)
Very cozy game, loved the ska music! i've invented some sandwiches and really enjoyed. Keep it up!
Haha awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! We tried some other tunes for the driving section but Ska just felt so right haha. Cheers! :)
really cute idea, fits the theme well. giving pov driving controls to a topdown car kinda made it wonky, but maybe that adds to the hectic aspect of it.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Much appreciated :)
Hee-ho. Fun game, nice
Thanks!! :D
Really cool game, what I think would make this even more fun would be to introduce coop mode, where one player would drive the car and second would make the food, I can definitely imagine this being challenging as for example Overcooked :D
Thanks for playing!! Definitely agree. You can technically play couch co-op already, with one person controlling the car with WASD and another building sandwiches and throwing them with the mouse :)
Fun game :)
Thanks!! :D
hehe cool idea bro!!:)
Thanks!! :)
It's a cool game, I liked it, the car is really not very comfortable to drive, but it's not significant, good job!
Thanks so much for playing! Much appreciated
I love this concept, the game was a lot of fun, could use some polish however and just make the game a little easier.
But man the "MMm MMMM" and "Yummy yummy" sound effect caught me so off guard XD
Love this one great job!
Thanks for playing!
Haha glad you appreciated my voice acting xD my voice acting dreams came true lol
This was really cool! It had a lot of mechanics and depth for the short time of the game jam.
The car controls were a bit frustrating to me, but that may be a skill issue >.<
Thanks so much for playing our game! :)
Haha yeah the driving could be tweaked a little bit, we left it intentionally a bit tricky as we wanted the game to be fairly difficult. Once you get the hang of it though you'll be crushing through the streets of New Sammy City in no time!
Love the customer's reactions!
Great solid original game. Would be fun if the car could drift and had sfx to make the overall experience better
Nice submission
Thanks! Appreciate you playing our game and the feedback!
I agree with the drifting and the sound effects! Will definitely be adding that in the next version of the game :)
The game is awesome!
Thanks!! :D
Alright I was blown away by this one really cool
At first I thought, ok I'm just making some sandwiches, I named my sandwiches vulgar words and had fun making one with everything on it and got an ick but also got some nice sandwich prompts and I thought oh that's cute.
I'm lazy as heck and never read description pages and this game taught me I definitely should because I was about to exit out when I thought...hmm maybe I'll try clicking the Lunch Time button and suddenly there s a whole nother game there! I couldn't remember any of my sandwich names so I booted the game back up and made some obvious BLT with Mayo and "single bacons" It was a lot of fun
1. uses theme well, preparing sandwich ideas then going out and making and delivering those sandwiches is a unique spin on this theme that I really enjoyed
2. The music is bopping and fits the atmosphere well. Few games have voice acting and the humor in this voice acting was spot on
3. graphics could sue some work, the sandwich parts looked good but the driving section was jank and pixelly
4. Serving the sandwich and tossing it is fun but can also be frustrating, a gameplay mechanic to make sure the player parks there car correctly, this takes additional time for the player to line up the correct shot. On one hand I like this because it makes sure the player is focusing on driving correctly and also focusing on sandwich making, another part of me dislikes it because when I miss it's frustrating lol. Also the driving controls are a little janky
5. Game is balanced so complicated sandwiches get more points, very cool and thoughtful
6. Naming sandwiches and then having them pop up as guiding arrows on the screen is a great idea
This is another jam that highlights what jamming is all about, you get to play cool and unique concepts like this
Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! It's much appreciated. Feedback like this will help as we build out the next version of our game.
Cheers :)

Really fun game ! i love the fact that you can make your own sandwiches and give them actual names. the little baguette indicators were perfect haha. Well done !
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed making your own sandwiches, that was a must-have mechanic in our game, so we are happy to hear people are enjoying it :)
