Really love the art style and animation, overall the gameplay was simple and fast to pick up but also fun, I can see this being really fun if you tune the NPCs so more of them rush at you at once. but over all good work!
Easy to understand, cute and relaxing. Love the art and the music! Really enjoyed it!
It didn't take long for everything to just click in place to understand the game. I really love the execution on just about every aspect.
Short and Sweet.
Cute music too, it's a bop.
Aw thank you so much for your kind words!. it's a bop! ~ I love that, never heard it before but its cute!
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to play :)
Love the idea, great execution and presentation. The art was amazing. It took me some time to figure out how to sell the lemonade. Maybe it can be made so that if you click on them it gets sold.
Thank you for playing my game, sorry it took so long for you to figure out how to sell the lemonade, granted the game is bugger and its possible the black overlay highlighting where to click was not functioning correctly at the time. I have included your suggestion in a bug fix update. Thank you for taking the time to play :)
Amazing game! I love the art style! It all feels very polished!
There's a bunch of stuff to balance and it makes to very interesting choices where you sacrifice one action to complete the other! Great job on the gameplay!
Overall amazing game!
I would appreciate it if you played and maybe rated my entry:)
I would also like to mention I originally found this game thanks to twitter while looking for tweets about the jam and immediately knew I had to try it!
Thank you for your kind words!
Absolutely there is a bunch to balance, so many things that can be tweaked and sometimes it requires too much time, sadly balance is still something I am learning to implement better.
I will will absolutely rate your game, I usually take a few days off and sit down mid week and spend some good time playing all that have rated my game and then some extras that peak my interest and remaining games with low votes. So expect something from me soon :)
~ That's incredible you found me by chance on twitter :D I followed you back :)
Thank you very much! And, I actually like the balance of the game! When I said balance I meant that the player had to manage making lemonade, serving customers and kicking snails at the same time which I had a lot of fun with! I wasn't talking about balancing as of balancing difficulty, though I understand the structure of my comment made it seem that way.
Brilliantly done! Feels like a polished, full game. The arrows, animations and drawings all help to guide the player really well. The camera zooming in was also a nice touch. Everything about it is adorable and charming. There is a bug where I got stuck at the lemonade preparation stand, and had to wait for the next day to arrive before I can move again. Other than that, I enjoyed it quite much. Great job!
Aww thank you so much! I am so sorry it bugged out for you, I experienced this getting stuck bug one during testing but could not replicate to effectively pin down the issue, super glad it reset on a new day (however that really isnt acceptable as a solution :(, sorry about that )
Really happy you enjoyed it ~ thank you for taking the time to play and rate my game :3
Nice art! Making lemonade is also a funny but cool concept, as said before it also took me a while to understand the controls but after that it was super smooth to play, good game!
Absolutely, you make a raise a good point that I should have included some 'controls' like a mouse and keyboard graphic, sorry it was not so clear but I am super happy that you were able to figure it out. The concept has a lot more I could have done with it, sadly it was a bit overscoped, so i struggled to get everything done. Thank you for playing my game! :)
Adorable graphics and a very playful vibe. Took me a while to figure out how to serve customers, I think clicking on them should trigger the delivery & payment instead of the very small dollar sign.
Other than that a nice little simulation. Now I want some lemonade too...
Aw I love that the vibe was playful and that translated well from my intentions. It's a shame I did not put the 'mouse' clicking graphic as a way to communicate to the player, apologies for this. You are right that the current trigger for serving the customer could be better, there was intended to have 3 other products you could make, cookies and cake inspired lemon food.
So you would click the one you wanted to give them or they requested, the intention was to allow for player error if they were rushing and give a little difficulty/challenge. Sadly since there is only one product you can make this does not translate very well in the final result. Also the Dollar sign was the best I could think of at the time, I had considered a hand, an arrow but these didn't seem to fit well in my opinion.
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to play my game. Also Lemonade rules! ~ Free lemonade for everyone!
nice work! super cute game and nice concept. Love the 2d/3d kinda vibe. nice art and music too. Congrats!
Thank you ~ I love this 2D/3D vibe too! :P
Very nicely done! I like the sprites in this game, the song is nice and zen, and the gameplay is fun. Plus you used the limitation quite well. Excellent!
So kind of you :) I think you may be the first person to comment on the use of the limitation. Thank you for playing :)
I spent 2 days trying to solve lemons and the rest of them trying to talk to shadow dude lols, anyways it was cute, and the character at very least can walk/move around, maybe controls or some idea how to play this game would be nice, I know no text... but visually you coulda mocked up a blank keyboard and circled the area for each action, I tried every key on Shadow Dude though something happened on Lemon and I was able to cut and even glass it up!
Super cute!!! love the art style :)
I enjoyed the music and the gameplay but i would love to see a mechanic to use the money to increase production or prevent lemons being eaten.
Great idea with using the money to upgrade. Will keep that in mind! Originally I had planned on the money being gained was to clear off a parents debt (like th child saw the stress of a parent and wanted to help in their own way) however I found it hard to with limited time to explain this concept visually. btw.. were you kicking the snails or letting them 'nom nom' the lemons :P
a bit of both really i ended up letting a lot of lemons get 'nom nom'd' to look around the map to see if there was any other stuff. I definitely like that idea for the debt etc would love to see any updates if you continue this project.
Wonderful I would love to notify you when i update the game to include the remaining features half implemented:
(cakes, candies, cookies, drop off stashes & dealerships)
+ I do love the idea of small placeable electric fences to dispose of bugs.. or even wackier, nerf gun turrets to thwack! the pesky snails.
The underlining tone was 'when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade' ~ that was because the little girl was trying to raise money to pay off the mums debt that, even when life gets tough, do you best and make the best of what you got! :)
~ but I could defo expand the trees to grow select fruits.. maybe even have you choose what to focus on, lemons, oranges, apples.
Awesome!!!
I like the art and view switch effect. :D
Thank you kindly! ~
Very nice presentation, from the beautiful cute graphics, to the awesome 3d/2d effect and the cute sound effects. My only problem was that it was a bit hard to understand what can I do, but intuitive look and some guiding arrows showed me the way and I got the hang of it quickly. Music is neat as well and gameplay, while not super complex, is satisfying and fun
Thank you so much for your kind words! I have really fallen in love with the 3d/2d effect and love that others also have appreciation for it. I think its fair comment saying its hard to understand what you 'can' do, I found this a challenge without using text but appreciate that the guiding arrows helped you navigate.
I am sorting out a bug which stopped slugs/snails from spawning, in testing this added a lot of 'juggling'. Hope to have it fixed and uploaded soon.
Love the art and the music!
The gameplay seems to lack depth; once you repeat the cycle a few times that's all there is to it. But even then I played it for an irresponsible amount of time.
Once there are more tasks to do at once this will be an awesome game!
Love this submission
Hey thanks for stopping by and playing! ~
Yes there is very little in terms of activities, there was much more planned. Hopefully if i get a few bugs sorted out I can atleast add a little more to combat the lack of depth. Its pretty chilled though so i dont blame you for playing a little longer than usual! :)
This game has an absolutely adorable presentation. The animations and colors are very cute and playful. Customers stopped showing up after the first day for me, but I can see a lot of potential in the gameplay! This game is surprisingly polished and delightful to play.
Thank you so much for taking time to play the game, there are quite a few bugs left to fix. However now the customers should spawn correctly for every day now :3
loved the art style and music choice! yeah it's normal for game jams to sometimes have a big scope and not complete within time, but this one is beautifully presented and has a potential for a fuller game, great job
I always go big with my scope and fail so hard lol. Thank you for taking time to play my game!
There are quite a few bugs left to fix so hopefully you come back soon! :)
This is so unbelievably cute!! I love the music and the animations (esp when you finish a glass of lemonade <3). Are you planning on updating in the future to fix the bugs?
Thank you! I was going for a cuter approach, glad that came across! I have a few bugs left to fix but I have just fixed a major one stopping the customers from coming after day 1. :) This sadly doesn't add much extra gameplay though since I have a few other bugs to fix that stop cake station from spawning. Looking to get a fix soon!
The game is just fun!
I liked it very much, although visitors on the second day do not come, only the first one, I waited for several days, but there was not a single buyer (((
I am so sorry to hear you waiting so long for another customer! :( I am glad you found it fun though! I was aiming for super relaxing chilll enviroment :3 Thanks for playing, I have fixed the bug where customers would not come after day 1.
