Nice one, the two tables at the ends are hard to aim at and cut off the right one, but other than that it's a fun game, well done :D

I love the visuals and the mechanics. It's simple yet enjoyable and has so much character in it. Congrats on the submission!
I wanna say again after seeing this game, I really liked it.
I know this was likely born out of my discord rage where I went on a rampage like Jakhiro the troll warlord as inspiration before being ban hammered.
I was deciding whether or not to give slightly critical advice. Was thinking I should not, but having decided this game has potential after u rated mine, here I am again. If u decide to turn this into a commerical product
-For ease of use, use mouse click instead of to grab the pizza from the trampoline
-It is hard, but do it like pokemon where u swing in that direction of the arrow your draw. Probably need mobile native to do something like this
-Eating the pizza is too slow. Make it give a benefit like health gain or being restore to full health
- Trash bin to throw the pizza into is nice
-For this casual game it's alright. But if u do make it an android app, stages with adaptive difficulty less chairs and customers, different conveyer belt speeds
-If developed into a product, save the boss surprise for the final boss or an endless highscore mode
-See if u can improve aesthetics but dun lose that weirdness, lean into it.
Thanks for the extensive feedback!
At the end we did realize we kinda just did another version of pokemon GO haha so yeah going that direction makes sense.
Eating the pizza being so punishing was actually just a skill issue on my part when programming that mechanic but yeah health gain sounds like a nice way to balance it out.
I think we'll leave this idea as a jam product for now but thanks for taking the time to write this insight and for playing!
Love the character designs for the customers getting absolutely walloped with a pizza, Great idea and great execution, this is the first game with a leaderboard that I saw which is a great touch.
I agree we're spoiled with the art quality we get for these on such short time! Thank you for your kind words.
P.S you should try https://steventus.itch.io/a-very-serious-cake-job it's got a leaderboard aswell and it's just as serious if not more
Overall this game is great fun! My only gripe is that I find the aiming to be quite unclear. It's hard to actually tell where the pizzas are gonna go frying to the way that the arrow is shaped.
Still great fun though! well done
This is a work of art. I love the the environment, I love how the mechanics tie to the setting, and I was very pleasantly surprised by how you get your score multiplier at the end.
Although the spinning is very intuitive, I found it a bit hard to aim the pizzas to the correct table when another customer was on the next table over. Maybe separating the sables a little more could help that.
GREAT JOB ON THIS GAME, I AM THE PIZZA BENDER!!!
Peak Pizza spinning simulator - reminds me of classic flash games
i IMMEDIATELY got fired but i enjoyed myself a lot !! good job and great execution :P
Lol... this is a very funny game. I enjoyed it, but I had to rate the serious component fairly.
It is a gag game, sorta just makes u laugh and all.
Loved this! It's so great to see mechanics that complement the mood so well, frantically spinning your mouse in circles really makes the game feel intense. The music and art were also on point, and I absolutely loved the ending! I think the only thing that detracted from the experience was the hitboxes sometimes being a bit wonky
This game is better than pineapple on pizza. That means a lot, coming from me. Serious.
Also the empty pizza is diabolical 😭
Very creative idea and great execution. The ending is hilarious. Good job.
Great execution on a fun concept. I thought the difficulty ramp was fairly paced and the ending was very funny. The music getting increasingly frantic is a great touch. Congrats!
