This is a a very well made game, I can't believe you don't have more ratings. Overall fantastic game!
This is pretty much as perfect as it gets for a game jam. Insanely polished in all aspects, smart mechanic and intepretation of the theme, not particularly challenging but you can't relax too much neither! It was a bit stressful just scrolling between a ton of recipes before finding the correct one. Oh, and the humour... top notch! I want to keep playing this game and would love a post-jam version with some more gameplay/challenge. Top marks! :D
I liked this game very much. It takes the "flash-gamy combine elements to make food for customers fast enough before they leave" type of game and puts it on a spinning wheel. I like that all controls are on keyboard and how the game makes you sweat. The weakest like I find though is the recipe book which is in itself a very good idea, I just think it falls a little short. Basically it has 30 pages of recipes which you have to fiddle through with E and Q, the recipes are not organised in categories or alphabetically (I think at least lol), which is just too much recipes to fiddle through at once, which may be part of the theme (your boss hands you this unorganised notebook and expects you to work with it and yells at you when you don't manage). But I think what you could implement is basically category-bookmarks that you can flip through with the W and S keys moving up and down through the categories. Example: let's say you reach the eggs category, you then flip through the individual Egg recipes with E and Q like in the game, you find poached eggs, cook it and the next recipe is cheese sandwich, you then move up with W to find the sandwiches category etc. you get the gist. I think this would make the game easier in a way but also more challenging because you have two new keys you have to use. Anyway very good game keep it up!
This I think is one of my favorites so far: so polished, so fun! I just think it would be a bit better if there was a more streamlined solution to the cookbook. A bunch of my time was spent fiddling through it, especially when I didn't know which direction the needed page was in. I liked flipping through it, but not when I missed it somewhere and I found myself wrapping the whole thing around haha
Really liked this game because of the "skill check" kind of gameplay, rewarding you for fast reactions with more score. That's really addictive. Probably the one issue is the sheer number of recipes. Having to flip through so many pages does make it pretty difficult to keep up, especially with the game encouraging a go-go-go mentality by rewarding you for quick efficiency. Really loved this one.
What a well-made game, it turned out very beautiful and fun to play and it even matched the loop theme, and so far I haven't had any technical problems while playing.
This was very fun! It got really stressful when I would mess up a long recipe. The only thing I'd change about this is maybe having an option to skip a recipe that you know you won't have enough time to complete. This is a really minor criticism though and it didn't really take away from my enjoyment. I got very easily sucked in and played for a VERY long time.
