Creepy game! I included it in my Palette Jam 2 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Omg that was so funny !! Def made my day !! Thank you so much ! (also I hope you found out about the water wheel because the level of water was dangerous in this video x))
I really like this art style, it's such a nice change from most games you see. I managed to serve all customers in my first try. Took me a while to realize that you could just hold the mouse button on the wheel to turn back the water instead of clicking on it. But yeah I was a fun game to play.
This game is surely different. I didn't understand what to do with water wheel so I ended up drowned on first try. But on second attempt, I could serve 10 hot dogs and gained 2 stars + $1399.
Hmmm... that reminds me, I don't think I saw any $ shown anywhere when client pays the hot dog.
Anyways, it was tense yet fun to manage the machines, whatever they are, while keeping water level in control. I love it when control scheme is given on each machine so I don't have to look down to find how to use them.
Yes the money is hidden because money changes depending on your time, the faster you are the more you get, but I should have put an indication that you gain money x)
Thank you !
I loved this weird creepy presentation style. The idea is pretty good too!
I just missed a time limit or something. It's better to keep the clients waiting and keep turn the hydraulic weels while starts raining.
Overall I really had fun playing it!
Congrats
Thank you ! (You get more money and stars if you go fast yes, but I didn't have time to put the timer on the screen)
Lovely concept! Like others have said, it took me a while to figure out how to play & stop myself from drowning, but I had fun making weird hotdogs with the various machines (though the 'click when it's in the middle of the bar' mechanic seemed a bit buggy.)
There's definitely room to flesh out the idea and make the gameplay loop even better - the Papa's Pizzeria games would probably be a good inspiration for a game like this, upgrading your machines and decorating the restaurant would be wonderful in this art style. Great work!
I added the controls in the description now, I hope it helps (at least my nice drowning sequence got some use x)) I love papa pizzeria, it was definetly an inspiration ! Thank you very much for playing and for your comment
fun game, audio mixing could use some work, but overall well done
Very nice and weirdly funny game. Really liked the quircky visual style.
I think the game could be a little more challenging if you made removing the water a little harder. maybe by timing your click like when you make the hotdogs.
Apart from that, it's a good game. Good job :)
Thank you !
Love the art! The game is quirky and interesting! I feel that it could benefit from a deeper gameplay but given that you're a solo gamedev it's probably just the right amount of work :) Job well done!
Yes the thing I learned in this game jam is think about gameplay and real mecanics before making the game not during xD Thank you very much for playing and leaving a comment !
The game is really fun! Took me a round of figuring out how it worked but after that it was really good. The sounds chosen really compliment the game well and you've got a great take on the theme.
Only thing that's slightly off about the game is the balancing as the place seems to break down way too quickly.
Thank you for the feedback ! I'll add the controls on the itch page and when the jam is over, change the pace!
Note that when I wrote this I didn't know how to get rid of water, figured it out and the balancing of the game is much better
It must have been really frustrating ! Glad that you came back and tried it again 👍
