"Dear God... the vegetarians are coming!" That really caught me off guard. Great job. Lol.
This was very entertaining! As a fan of Tetris and Puyo Puyo this hit! Now need upgradable grills lol Nice job!
Great job! Fits the theme and understandable from the drop. I'm reading good things about the tutorial though so might try that next!
Aww a person in a tutorial said I'm doing a good job... I think I just really-really needed that.
Anyway, mix of Overcooked and Tetris is a wonderful idea and a great pitch.
For feedback: I love moving stuff around on the grill, both in-game and in RL, but currently the size of the grill and shapes of food rarely give you opportunity to do that. I would definitely experiment with larger grills, so you would get more options to optimise the setup rather than just simply wait until stuff that's on the grill is finished. Also skewers are pretty obnoxious, there's little creativity you can show with these.
Otherwise it's a super cool game with a wholesome idea <3
Thank you for the feedback. We made a list of "awkward" shapes and skewer was definitely on there. So it was kinda hard to decide if that meant it was a good or bad for the game.
I struggled with the right timing for cooking. I want it long enough that you can go, "nuts to this, let me rearrange everything on the grill!" and short enough that I'm not stuck just staring at the meat cooking as the hangry meter goes up. One of the things the game not so subtly rewards you for is optimally packing the grill, so I sort of wonder if we should have implemented something that made it better strategy to more actively rearrange meats in real time.
Oh well, when I feel conflicted I just remember:
Grill dad still believes in us!
I really like the rotation mechanic! It adds a subtle puzzle sense to the game. Awesome💪🏾
Love it, what a great game! Super fun and fast paced.
super fun and unique! loved the different types of meat and veggies that you could grill and kepl me very engaged
That was a lot of fun. And the vegetarians bit at the end was hilarious!
A pleasant, addictive game :) I like this visual style
This is so good. Very polished. Beautiful art. Tight gameplay. Good balance.
