The visuals in this game are really good! The environment is nice and pleasant, and I really liked the drawings of the fish and zombies! I didn't expect to be able to swim in the river ether. It looks like this was your first jam, and I love that you took the time to learn how to make a few different QTEs!
For your next jam, I think you should get some placeholder sounds in early, even if they're just beeps. It's tough to do sound implementation if you leave it for later, but it becomes really manageable if while you're making mechanics you add placeholder sounds in. It'll make your game feel better instantly, and it's much easier to go back and replace the sound file rather than do the whole implementation, and you won't forget about it since you'll hear the placeholder sounds in development. Also generic placeholder sounds are often better than no sound at all if they make it into submission. A small sound on successful QTEs, or when you catch a fish, finish cooking, or serving the correct dish would go a long way.
Awesome job!
Thank you for your feedback. Indeed my 1st game publicly shown and yes sound and visual effects are missing but please do not worry as I will work on this to refine it further. You can follow me to see future updates.
I really like the look of this game! I also kept burning all my food lol. I like cooking games but kind of suck at them haha, I had fun playing this game though! Great job making this! And in a week too!
Fun game! Really hope to see you expand on it in the future!
Thank you for your support. Yes I do plan to expand on this so if you want you can follow me and you will see the final version as well.
Nice interpretation of the theme, the QTE was a bit too difficult for me but yea overall really nice game!
love it!
Fed a zombie a fish but he decided to eat me too XD. Great combination
Interesting combination and good implementation of minigames, it's quite a complex game. I also like the look of it. Good job on the submission! Unfortunately I burnt all the fish I caught! It would be really cool to get some feedback on getting QTE right and allow pressing 'F' for a longer time.
I was wondering about those hearts in the upper right corner, is it possible to lose a life in the game?
Thank you so much for your feedback and I will work on making this a better game. As for the hearts yes they do serve purpose. If you do not provide the zombies the correct fish they can eat your heart as well. But its base on probability. If you wish to get the future updated version for the game you can follow the page and I will ping you for updates.
I like the combination of zombies and fish dishes. The immersive atmosphere while fishing is great. It was pretty good game!
Thank you so much for your support. Glad you liked it.
Interesting game! The controls were easy to play with, but it got a little boring after a while. The spin mechanic was well done still.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I will work on it to make it more interesting.
Ayo why these zombies eating fish 🤣
Omega-3 😂
Cute litte cooking game, but I sucked at the prepping step and kept burning the food haha, it might be because my laptop is a bit laggy and a skill issue, but other than that it was nice! From what I understand you can only carry 2 fish,so it would be nice if you could store the fish you prepared somewhere, like in a little oven or something so the wheel doesnt mess up the game for you if you dont get any dishes the zombie wants!
Thank you so much for your feedback. The reason I limited the fish count is so that players do not fish 20 fishes in 1 go for each recipe and have an easy day. But I will see what can be done.
Oh of course, Yeah that makes sense. I saw that its also okay to give the wrong fish to the zombies, you just get less rewards, so maybe it's not thaaat big of a deal
Great and funny game, nice job !
Thank you so much for your support!
The environment looked nice, and I liked the art on the recipe wheel a lot. The rest of the UI and art elements definitely felt disconnected from the rest of the aesthetics. The fishing midgame was my favorite part. I do wish this fit a little closer to the theme rather than just making use of two randomization wheels. Overall nice job though!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I will try to get these changes implemented and have a much more cohesive experience built. Glad you liked it.
A cooking game?!
I have not played much of cooking games. I have only played overcooked 2...
I would have put a little more time into the web page! It's important to make a good first impression!
That was a fun experience with a unique implementation of the theme! I had a lot of fun I will play it again!!
Thank you for your feedback! I just started itch, so I will get the page and the game improved more. I am glad the game was able to provide you with a fun experience.
Ngl I wasn't expecting the nutcracker as the game's themesong, but you know what it kinda works. Liked the seperate minigames for the fishing and recipes, always good to see another cooking game!
Thank you so much for your feedback, and I am glad you liked the music. Glad you enjoyed the game!
A truly fun and engaging game, great job done within 7 days, loved the concept of fishing and zombie, it's actually really good.
Thank you so much for the feedback much appreciated! I am really grateful that you liked and enjoyed this. I have learnt a lot from you. Thank you so much 😁
Very cool! Its very impressive how you did this in just 7 days, its a very unique concept and it is quite fun, although the fishing mechanic was a bit hard to understand at first and for some reason the preparing minigame didn't work correctly for me (i guess i was lagging), but regardless its still a very fun game!
Fun game! Well done making this in 7 days.
Really glad you liked. Thank you so much for your support.
Nice relaxing game. I liked the music choice.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Music is: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky if you are interested.
Nice fishing and cooking game ! It would be better with a timer so the zombie doesn't have to wait forever and can eat your brain if you'r too slow bc he's starved xD. It would be great to have some different fish to catch also !
Your game also lack of sounds effects, it would be better with some sounds even made by mouth it could be funny :D
The game was still very funny to play :)
Thank you so much for the feedback. I will get these changes implemented. I am glad you liked the game.
