Ive been playing this for a bit now and its genuinely amazing . Its crazy to think this can be done in 3 days time. I like that the options actually matter and can give different reactions . Goodjob to you all i'm seriously glad i found this ! underrated as hell but i can tell it was worked very hard on. Im also a big fan of all the character designs and the atmosphere

Great work team, the whole experience is really well polished, functions exactly as you'd like. The visuals are awesome and the sound design going alongside it all too. Having something so polished in only 3 days is testament to the efforts of you all and how well you must have worked as a team. Awesome work!

Hi!

The color palette, lighting, and particle movement make the experience feel warm and inviting from the very first second. 

The sound effects and ambient music (with that charming little neighborhood Italian restaurant vibe!) really make you feel immersed in the experience. The visual language has a remarkable level of internal consistency. Even the smallest details, like the framed pictures in the preparation area, create a much stronger sense of familiarity.

There's a real mastery of visual design and art direction in the way every animation is used so efficiently and purposefully. Everything has this wonderful airy, almost dreamlike quality that's incredibly difficult to achieve (and requires a tremendous amount of talent, especially within the tight time constraints of a game jam!).

I learned SO much about art direction just by observing how beautifully crafted every composition is. On top of that, the scope of the experience was absolutely perfect, something I appreciate even more now because I feel that's precisely where I failed so terribly with my own game.

There's some serious visual talent here. The experience feels unique, and I genuinely think that, in terms of internal visual coherence, this might be the strongest game in the entire jam.

Anything to criticize? Well, one way to take the game further could be to translate it into other languages and maybe the connection to the autumn theme could have been a little stronger... but come on, who doesn't fall for good food? 

Best!

What a great idea and beautiful art style. This looks very polished. Also the theme ..maybe I'm biased since I enjoy traveling to France but it's really nice. Great job!

The polish of this game really stands out. Sounds like even though there was still crunch, it feels like every aspect of the game got enough attention. Good job to the whole team! Imagine what you could make if you had a whole week.

Thank you for all the kind words!:)

Loved this - I went back to try and get the two I did wrong initially. The art, music and animations are really charming especially loved the pumpkin man walking in. Very charming and loved the implementation of the limitation :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! I feel so grateful working with every single member on this team - we had a blast making it!

It was a really fun game, I loved the personality of the clients, the concept of making them the pastry they want is really cool. Great job!

Submitted(+3)

Seen this on Discord and definitely had to check it out.
Really like the concept with warmth in the night vibes, this simple artstyle is just one of my faves, unique characters, and that pop UI sound....
Definitely interested for update!

Submitted(+3)

Really well-made animations and unique customers too! Wasn't expecting a visual novel styled game, but the surprise is a welcome one. Hoping that it get's expanded later on into a full visual novel

Submitted(+3)

Probably the best storytelling in a gamejam I've ever seen! The animations were so coo and the music fit well too! Bravo!

Developer(+2)

This is such an honor, thank you!! 😭🙏

I must say I sometimes find these types of game to feel slow, however I found myself really engaged here. The environment and sound sucked me in immediately. Really awesome art and sound, and I found myself intrigued by all of the writing too. And awesome character design!! Really well polished. Great job you all!!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the support! 🍁 Really proud of the whole team🥹

Genuinely the best thing i have seen from the jam till now, great job

Submitted(+3)

I love the style, story and sfx and all, its a really fun game as well!

Submitted(+3)

Took me three tries to get them all right lol, super cute game! The art style and animations were really pretty. Also great sound design!

Submitted(+3)

So lovely and well-polished, the team should all be very proud of what they created here! What a cozy little treat! :D

The game looks absolutely amazing! I’m not usually a huge fan of games with visual novel elements, but the artwork and the overall level of polish are genuinely impressive. My compliments to the team! 👏

It’s also pretty clear that this isn’t the team’s first project. Everyone seems to work really well together, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve been able to build on the experience and tools from your previous projects.

I don’t mean that as a criticism at all - quite the opposite! It’s great to see a team with that much experience and such good chemistry producing something this polished. You can really see the work and experience that went into it. ❤️

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the compliments!  This was actually our first game jam together haha, and we had all just met each other and somehow got incredibly lucky to form such a wonderful team!

Everything was made from scratch which caused A LOTTT of stress and sleep deprivation to meet the deadline lol, but it was a really wonderful experience

Hiya, this actually is our first project together 👀 We all came together through this jam, and it was actually many of our team members first jam:) All of the assets were also made completely in the 3 days♡ Thank you so much for your kind words, I was truly grateful for how well the team worked together❤️ Thank you for playing!

I really love the art style! The whole game feels super polished, especially with the music, SFX, and even the little character voice clips. Even tiny sounds like a laugh add so much personality to the character.

The dialogue system is really neat too! I also really liked the bakery section and how you can combine the different parts depending on how you interpret each customer’s order. Though it'd be nice to have a little order slip on the prep screen to refer back to (maybe like the printed tickets you get in cafe maybe?) 

But seriously this is very impressive how much you managed to put together in just 72 hours! Very cute!!

Developer(+1)

Hello:) If you click on the customer again right when the bakery game starts, you will be able to hear their order again🤝 Tysm for playing, your feedback means a lot🩷

Submitted(+3)

I really liked the concept and the sound design!  My only suggestion that it would be great if you could make a brief note about each order. It seems you don’t have the option to review what the client has said, and I can’t remember or didn’t quite understand what they wanted. But good job overall!!

Developer(+1)

I'm happy you liked it! You can actually speak to them again during prep to relisten to their order, but we'll make it more obvious! 💗

Developer(+2)

Hi! If you click on the customer when the mini game starts, they will repeat their order:) I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!

Submitted(+1)

ohhH! thamk you!

Developer

Ofc!!♡
