The Hotdog Parable

I don't know how to get more hotdogs.=[

Nice simple concept. I just couldn't figure out the controls immediately, but I found the shop menus eventually.

Use the menu on the right!

awesome!, I liked the way the game goes. the menus are hard to find, tho. It took me some time to discover there was menues on both sides of the screen.

Simple & enjoyable. First entry i played till the end i think :) Congrats!

Wow! That's so adorable!
Gameplay is attractive, I walked trough it with fun. Art is also cool, I liked the most the mood of the night. Soundtrack isn't probably the best part of the game, but it's still good.
Good game :)

Hey, I have completed the game! :D

I love this kind of game, I love building up my little empires in sim games. However, this game is a little too easy for me. I managed to win it in few minutes. But, I can't ask for more as this game is made in a very short time. The most fun game I had played, I guess :D

Okay figured it out the edges slide out allowing you to buy meals, adverts and research new item.

Very cool game, I really enjoy these types of games.=]

Wow...amazing. I beat it!

Very fun game! Nothing new but with great art, nice music and some jokes attached.

It'd be better if it was harder, it was very easy and I had all the upgrades developed on the 8th of January.

Great game! My favourite so far. The music loop isn't perfekt and there is bug if you research burgers before you place your first add.

But great work!

Too bad we can't continue playing it after end :( Like other said. Hard to find the menus at the beginning. Also, what does "P", "C", "O" and "Q" means ? And how are they used in the game ?

I really enjoyed it anyway and I'm glad I saved the world :)

Nice game, hope you will get more review, because it's really fun. the start is a bit slow but when you manage to get your first 100$ things get easier. congratulation for the art and music too.

Best game I've played so far!
Absolutely brilliant :) So polished.!

Didn't quite get that R P O Q thing, but it's not crucial

Best game I have played so far. No really difficult, but you could easily expand the idea for the mobile market.
Love the graphics and sound! :)

Cheers, Marcus

Really smooth and polished game, art is amazing, text are funny, and i love cookie-clicker like.
Thanks guys.

Cool art style !

Gorgeous game! Very polished for the amount of time it was made in. There's only one tiny bug (I think it's a bug) where it doesn't the timer doesn't advance if the menu's closed.

I really like the art style. Gameplay is fun too.

I really like the graphics and audio of this game. And the gameplay is really solid too. Only tip I want to give you is to give more visual feedback. Like a little green dollarsign popping up when you make a sale.

Completed the game and enjoyed it a lot too :). But i've got to say that the background music felt out of place. Other than that, a great game.

The controls took some time to discover, but the game is pretty decent and the art is great!

Very nice-looking

very nice game! i like this graphics so much!

Played it to completion, pretty fun management game. Some little quibbles: It seems that if you run out of money and hotdogs you lose, even if you've got a hotdog shipment coming. That's a bit irksome. Also, it'd be nice if there were tooltips for what the numbers in the top meant.

At a few points I suddenly ran into negative money and wasn't sure why? I hadn't spent any money for it to happen, which was frustrating.

At one point the left side bar went behind the buttons on the right side bar. The hamburger philosophy button also gets hidden as it's over too far on that side of the screen.

It took me a while to realise that 'researching hamburgers' meant purchasing the hamburger button - I thought that was a one-off upgrade.

Having a pause button would also help immensely in a time-based game.

Overall a job well done, the operatic music was a really nice touch and I like the way the day/night animations were implemented. Good work guys!

That was really awesome. Played to the end. The art was incredible!

Maybe I did something wrong, but I never got enough to get to any upgrade. It seems I got robbed every night (or at least money reset then). I kind of liked watching the game play itself though.

I finally understood the hamburger philosophy.
I really appreciated the elaborate background (story, events), it really gives some life to the game.
Graphics are pretty.
Maybe some more infos about the stats, and what upgrades really do, could make the gameplay perfectly clear.

Needs some more info displayed to the player about what's happening and what does what but I very much enjoyed my time with this game.

Great sprites, fun music, decent challenge, and a very innovative take on the theme.

Great work all around!

Took a while to get into it and the menu animations are WAY too long. But it got fun after a while. Great look!

I took the flyer too early and lost, well done

I really liked this game but i am a sucker for these types of games. I like the idea of finance in the "You Only Get One" theme.

Thanks for such a fun entry! I hope you improve upon it!

the side menus are HIDDEN. it took me quite some time.

VERY addictive tough!

Great Idea, i like the gameplay!

once i found the menu it was fun.

Great graphics, great gameplay and addicting qualities. This game is awesome.

(Ed è bello vedere una entry fatta da compatrioti!)

Nice game, though I would have liked to keep playing after the end.

Really nice game, I got stuck in front of my screen for (at least) half an hour. It's so addictive. The art is good, the music's cool but gets repetitive after 10 minutes... However, there is no strategy in this game, you just have to spam-click all the buttons. Money is never a problem, I don't even see how it is possible to loose ^^ It could have been more challenging.
Also I didn't wanted this popup to end the game when I won xD

Anyway, that was a lot of fun. Congratulations !

My favorite thing about this game is how it feels alive in a way. The day/night cycle, the hot dog van driving to your stand, the random events.

Meanwhile, my biggest grief is that I seem to get robbed (or something) all the time and there's no way for me to prevent the sudden losses of money. That just seems like a design flaw to add fake difficulty. It's keeping me from getting anywhere at the start for a long while. Not quite gamebreaking but super annoying.

The overlapping menus are a bit ugly too, not a good use of the limited screen space. Otherwise it looks and sounds good.

Very very good! The main complaint I have is that when opening the right menu it sometimes/often clicked something while expanding, which was particularly annoying when I unintentionally buy flyers or something.

This has been possibly the most addicting game I've played so far this Ludum Dare! If you developed this further I would probably buy it!

Thank you for this game, I enjoyed it so much.

4/5 for comfy graphics :)

Once you get rolling, it's pretty easy, but I guess challenge isn't quite the focus of the game anyway. The music was... capitalistic? which is perfect. Really fun. One of the best games from the jam I've played yet.

The only LD sim game I actually played all the way through and beat, so that's saying something. Didn't really expect all of the moon stuff, it was really surprising and fun in a very quirky way. Very good game, great job, guys!

Really nice entry! I won, I feel like an entrepreneur now!

Nice sim game, It was fun to save the world by selling hot dogs :)

Really good graphics, nice game, wonderful entry.

This game hit me by surprise. Did not expect that. but it clearly made it to my top 5 of this LD :)

Very well done and addictive :D

Very cute. You've put together quite a cheery little experience.
From a gameplay standpoint, I want to say that it doesn't really feel like there are enough meaningful decisions, or really enough to do at any given moment, but, in the end, the charm of the world goes a long way.
