Haha, burning pancakes happens to the best of us! 😄 Glad you enjoyed the artwork though… someone’s definitely not too happy about all those ruined orders. And he saw everything. 😉

I love the spooky vibes and anything with pancakes! I really struggled with the controls and couldn't make it through orders. I still went out and explored some and I'll have to come back to get some answers.

Submitted

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere. 😄 The controls can be a bit tricky. There’s a sensitivity slider in the pause menu that might help. Sounds like you were already exploring the right areas… maybe next time you’ll find what’s really going on. 😉

Love the art in this game! I walked around the park but based on the screenshots I feel like I missed some something, but at least I got to make some pancakes!

Submitted

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! Glad you liked the art and hey, making pancakes is always a win! 😄 If you feel like you missed something… you probably did. Maybe take a closer look at the camera cables next time. 😉

I burned all my pancakes :<. On the other hand everything looks so great, the trees look so great. Has that Arctic Egg uneasy vibe

Haha, burning pancakes happens to the best of us! Someone around here definitely isn’t happy about those burnt pancakes though… Glad you liked the visuals. The trees really set the mood, right? That uneasy vibe keeps things interesting!

JorvanSubmitted1 year ago

Pretty interesting game. I spent a few minutes mastering the art of making pancakes until I figured out what to do next. However, I didn't know what else to do after beating the boss. Regardless, well done creating such an unique game in such a short time 👍

Looping Through

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the pancake making challenge. The boss fight is actually the ending, but we wish we could have made the ending clearer; unfortunately, time constraints didn’t allow for that.

NoctricDevSubmitted1 year ago

I sadly wasn't able to find the twist :v. I loved going through the environment and seeing all the small details tho. And I find it funny that you also got a physics store mangement game like us! Maybe you can check out ours too :)

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! 😄 Glad you enjoyed exploring the environment. I’ll check out your game too. Maybe next time, try following the camera cables. 😉
I don't know who left them, but they look suspicious!

Ma pan always fly somewhere to the woods!:D I guess nobody will get the pancake from me:D

Submitted

Show me what you got

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago (1 edit)

Haha, luckily the owner got a spare pan in the truck… and he saw everything happen. He wasn’t too happy about it. 😉

Loved the eerie twist and the cardboard-cutout art—flipping pancakes to uncover the mystery was such a clever hook. The controls felt a bit finicky at first, but that just made solving the puzzles more satisfying. Great job!

Submitted

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! 😄 Glad you enjoyed the twist and the art style. The controls can be a bit tricky at first. There’s a sensitivity setting in the menu that might help… unless you like the extra challenge. 😉

Cooking pancakes is more than a lifestyle - it's an artform. Delivering your first pancake is like riding a bike for the first time - it's exhilarating! And in a way, this game is sort of like a dating sim - only a bit one-sided...

Submitted

ZwimpieDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for playing the game! There is also someone else 'very' date-worthy in the game and also thinks your pancakes are pure art! But that person is just a bit shy, did you find any clues on who that might be..?👀

── The Team 😼

William McCullenSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

One could say that person was very... mighty?

qin2500Submitted1 year ago

I love this kind of eerier investigation games! Other people have said it much better than me so in short: very nice atmosphere/vibes, and you should totally turn this into a full game.

Thanks for playing the game! The ending could have been a bit better, but due to time constraints we couldn’t quite make it happen this time.

── The Team 😼

tranquilmageSubmitted1 year ago

I LOVE this idea! At first I wasn't aware of half of the controls and lifted pancakes from the pan by shaking them to the ground, which made it arguably funnier. A few of my absolute favorite games of last year were Arctic Eggs, The Crush House, and Grunn, and I need to know if you designed this game with any of these in mind? Because it just really felt like something I would buy a full release of and would annoyingly tell all of my friends about hahahaha

Submitted

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Wow, thanks! 😄 We don’t know those games, but that’s a huge compliment. Did you manage to solve the mystery? 😉

── The Team 😼

tranquilmageSubmitted1 year ago

Oh crazy, I didn't expect that hahahaha, I think I found parts of the mystery, but I should probably return later to find out what's fully going on :D

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

The mystery will end a bit abruptly, keep that in mind. We didn't have the time to polish that part of the game.

brennennenSubmitted1 year ago (1 edit) (+1)

I "flopped" so hard at the intro bit. I love the "trueman show" vibes and the cardboard cut out trees. We tried to add a lil "break the loop" component in our submission, but it was an after thought that I don't think anyone is even going to find it, I really like how it was findable, but not too easy to find here. Good job and great game!

Submitted

Wheel Of Misfortune

y1zejinDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

We tried our best to add lots of little details hinting at the “break the loop” mystery. There are some people that don’t notice it so yeah it’s tricky to find the right balance. We’re glad you discovered and enjoyed it!

── The Team 😼

Mechanical DuckSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

I liked how the whole thing felt eerie! After a while I finally decided to explore and discovered what was really going on! I thought the boss fight at the end was funny (I was beating up the mole guy with a pancake)! I feel like it ended very abruptly though, because nothing happened after I beat the boss. Overall, a very fun game!

Submitted

y1zejinDeveloper1 year ago

We’re glad you enjoyed the game!
And yeah we didn’t have time to add an ending screen but let’s say it has an open ending ^^

── The Team 😼

Mechanical DuckSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

😂 My interpretation is that the moles are using your pancake business for free pancake making labor

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Haha nice, the moles just love pancakes 😊

Delicious pancakes.

I love the design and artwork! The controls overwhelmed me a little bit :-D My customers must now go home hungry.

Submitted

y1zejinDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thank you for playing! It’s alright when the customers go hungry when there’s a mystery to uncover :D
Also we know the controls can get a little finnicky. There are sensitivity sliders in the menu that may help a bit.

── The Team 😼

Great idea. I am not used to such controls though :)

Fun little pancake flipper. Very cute design! The frustration got the best of me and couldn't manage to break the cycle though haha.

Submitted

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! Glad you liked the design. 😄 Not everyone manages to break the cycle… maybe you need to follow the cables a bit more closely. 😉

── The Team 😼

TheTrashDevSubmitted1 year ago

Cool game. The concept of breaking out of a loop in the way you have done is difficult to do in such a short timeframe, but you managed to pull it off!

Submitted

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! Breaking out of the loop was tricky to design… and not every player even realizes you can break it. 😉

FigusMakesGamesSubmitted1 year ago

I didn't imagine there would be so many food games like mine... The game is beautiful and I like the sounds. Now I'm eager for revenge on that pan... HAHAHA, the pancake stand queue is a bit bugged, but nothing too serious. Good luck on the jam. 🔥🔥🔥

Submitted

No Tomato Please [GMTK 2025]

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the look and sound of it. 😄 Sounds like you’ve got some unfinished business with that pan… we didn’t know about the pancake stand queue bug, but we’ll check it out. Good luck with your game too! 😉 Did you find out to whom the truck belongs? He probably should buy you a better pan!

── The Team 😼

Ag101Submitted1 year ago

just like real life.

the pan is now my arch nemesis.

the linux version of the game has major graphical issues (which is common for 3d unity games)

10/10

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago (1 edit)

Glad you enjoyed it! Sounds like you and the pan have some unresolved conflict… we’ll have to look into the Linux issue. 😅 Did you manage to finish the game?

── The Team 😼

Ag101Submitted1 year ago

well i finished a day but i don't know if that counts as finishing the game, and i accidentally stood on the dynamite and got sent with it into space where it popped out of existence.

don't worry too much about the linux issue though, the windows version can be played on linux just fine via wine/proton (which is a compatibility layer allowing windows apps and games to work under linux in some cases running the game better than the linux port of it)

Double_GezichtDeveloper1 year ago

Daam, the TNT launching you in the air is wild. We didn't know about that! You need to use the TNT at a place in the world. Some wires might point you to where it is.
