Newbie?
Experienced
Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.
How does your game fit the theme?
half the battle of getting started is figuring out what to do. So our game relies on the player figuring out how to collect and use new ingredients to live out their noodle shop dreams

Really good! I encountered a bug where it didn't let me put the noodles in the pot anymore so I got kinda stuck, but I like the variety of ingredients and customers you put in the game! Keep going :>
A relaxing game with a good and clean artstyle. I can imagine myself playing a more refined version of this game with more ingredients, more variety of customers and more ways to cook things. I found some problems with the collisions later on tho but overall a good job!
It's a nice, relaxing and simple game.
I really like the sounds and the art, and the animations are a really nice detail!
I only had a little trouble with the collisions, as sometimes the noodles wouldn't go inside the pot, and I also noticed that when the noodles were served the bowl would sometimes be on top of the ingredients list.
Great job though, congrats to the team!
Pretty cool idea, would love to play more if this gets expanded.
For starters, the art is incredible, it really makes the game stand out! As for the gameplay, it's just as good! I always enjoy these cooking and serving types of games and yours is no exception. It might be a small detail, but it was really fun to stir the pot haha. I also liked that you could choose where to gather ingredients and the different combinations you could make. The sound effects and music are also a vibe, I really like them! I can definitely see this game expanding into something larger! Great work!
Lovely visuals and a relaxing atmosphere. A more expansive and polished version of this would've totally been one of the more popular flash games back in the day.
Even though there aren't many individual cooking components, the possible combinations of customers, ingredients, and ways to prepare those made me want to experiment in all kinds of ways.
The easter egg with the controversial radio station was amusing.
Overall, a great game jam submission!
There's so many story bits we wanted to cram in here but we were limited on time, the podcast is my favorite little bit! PenguinSphen did a fantastic job!
THE FISH PEOPLE ARE REAL??!
It screams Papa's Noodleria, in all the best ways. It's a very cute and charming game, I love the cooking mechanics and being able to experiment with the different ingredients is very fun. Also, I hate the turtles, they hated every dish I made (assuming the green things are turtles, which, if they are not, my apologies to the general turtle population). Jokes aside, this is a very fun game and I could see myself investing too much time making burnt squid on noodles.
They we're intended to be lizard people but I had a hard time getting a good doofy looking lizard character. Here's the fully body shot:
i could see this being one of those childood games everyone remebers yk? like papa's pizzeria and such. Really good job, just need a bit more polishing
if you have the time feel free to check out my game as well, i would love some more feedback
Really good, the game did consistently bug after a few customers but oh well, love the idea of combining different techniques to prepare the food. something like a grill would be a cool addition. The penguins remind me of the penguin from Wallace and Gromit.
Its funny you say that...
I was very scared of the penguin when I first watched the movie, just couldn’t get a read on him you know? Glad he’s doing well now. Although this could be his laundering business 😆
I could see myself spending hours on an expanded version of this game! It was so charming and fun to play ✧.ﾟI loved experimenting and not feeling like I had to be perfect from the get go, the customers were very patient with me haha! Also I think including some cooking SFX would definitely elevate this game!
So fun! Loved experimenting with all the ingredients!
