Great music! Very creative game, though the lack of challenge/no punishment for doing badly disincentivizes trying for good combinations of guests. Cute art too!

I enjoyed this game. All of the different guests kept things interesting and I thought the game was balanced pretty well to.

A very fun little game! I love the art/general aesthetic, the creativity, and the ability to choose your next guest at every level. The fire added a bit of challenge, though since there weren't any actual stakes, it was also a bit easy to ignore? I think if there was a death counter and you had to keep your deaths low it'd actually make the fire matter.

I'm not usually a big fan of management games, but I thought it was pretty fun. I liked that there wasn't any punishment for skipping people or not satisfying their criteria, and I really liked all the different ideas for passengers. Overall, pretty good.

This was a really creative idea! I'm definitely more of a cozy gamer, so I was relieved that there was no kind of timer or consequences, but I could see a timed mode being fun too. Ghost and zombies and bombs all day baybeeee.

Developer

It actually originally had a timer, but it was frustrating because you can't really do things much faster and when you're one passenger away from a combo and you just have to wait but the timer runs out it felt punishing. I decided that if somebody wants to take their sweet time trying to build a mirror zombie ghost bomb ghost zombie synergy, then I shouldn't be stopping them. Thanks for playing!

I really liked it, I think the ideas fir characters were great, sometimes I did not understand how some of them (like the alien) really worked though.  I have a but of an issue with the thumbnail though, instead of reading operator for the first time when i read it, i just read "perator" or "perdtor" and since I desperatley needed to find a word starting with p and having e r d t and o in it I read it as "predator" and thought it was about like dinosaurs ripping apart ferris wheels or something (this then changed when i read the title again though), apart from that i really like the art though

Developer

Ahahaha! "Ferris Wheel Predator" does sound like a very problematic game. Maybe I should add predator dinosaurs that have the ability to rip the wheel... or just fix the thumbnail art. Thank you for your feedback and thanks for playing!

Enjoyed the game for several time

Interesting concept and with each level gets harder to  fit all the "passengers".

Art style also creative and interesting.

All in all if worked on, can be a good full game.
