Sal and Papa work for tips in a fast food restaurant.
Battle blandness by adding a shake of salt or pepper to food by bouncing upside-down on it.
This a game you play with both hands:
WASD or ARROWS to move and spin Sal IJKL or NUMBERS to move and spin Papa
NOTE: I had so much fun this weekend, but not much time to work on my game. Even though this is more a toy than a game, I thought I'd submit it anyways. I'm not in it to win it, I just love Ludum Dare!
CREDITS: I drew the food and made the music, the background is by S. Neto, and the voiceovers are my 4 year old son!
This was really fun! I hope you are able to make time to add a scoring system and maybe levels (or keep it endless) later on. I would love to play a full game version.
Haha, that VO work is great! Good interpretation of theme. It's fun to bounce around for a bit, but it seems like the collisions could use a little more fine tuning. Nice work!
The graphics are great and the sound effects are really cute! I really like having to flip the shakers over to get at the food. It was really tough to control both at once but it made it really funny to try haha! Great job!
Liked the art and sound a lot. Mechanic is rough, but this would be a neat thing to polish up someday as the idea of salting food is neat. Could see a great retro 80s arcade game out of it. Great that you involved your son.
Super-cute. I know you ran out of time, but I reckon this is sooo close to being a very cool game; the 2-item control thing is strangely satisfying, and it fits perfectly with the salt/pepper idea.
As you already said, this is more a toy than a game right now, but the art and music were cute and controlling the characters was really fun.
This could evolve into a 1vs1 game with some work, and it could be awesome. Perhaps a duel to see who drops more salt/pepper on the food(with a particle system), that could be pretty hilarious.
By the way, I loved the voice-acting, really unique :)
Best voice overs ever! Rather good pixel art and music too! Had fun just playing around with sal and papa, then looked up at the clock to find out 10 minutes had passed by :P
Awesome audio, and nice graphics too. Even though it wasn't really a game it was fun just listening and moving around. Again, I love the sound effects.

It's a very simple game but a real fun one. I couldn't help but mash the buttons just to hear the audio sounds. Asking your child to help you out is a great idea XD.
I find the fact you're putting salt and pepper on things that shouldn't have salt and pepper (like donuts) to be truly unconventional indeed. Anyway, I loved the graphics and I think having your son do the voiceovers adds a really nice touch to the game.
Super cute graphics. I ended up rolling up the walls to gain some air, which worked great but I wonder if that was intentional? Totally love the audio.
The mechanics are confusing, I couldn`t understand what I was supposed to do. But as you said, you had a lot of fun making this game and in my opinion that`s the most important reason of making a game. Keep working on it cause you have such funny characters. Congrats for the job.
Loved the graphics, and the pixel art details in the background were just awesome. It could be expanded by having a list of foods that you had to season to fulfil orders. Very cute game.
Truly excellent! I love the groovy soundtrack, works great with the pixels (which aren't half as cute as the SFX, kid's got a talent for voice acting).

The sprites are adorable and I got a good laugh out of the sound effects. Well done!

The audio is awesome! Hats off to baby McFunkypants! ...or I guess pre-schooler McFunkypants now???
The SFX from your son and the art are really cute. Too bad you didn't have time to do more on it!
WEE!
HAHA!
POW!
Thanks!
10/10 I would eat them all :3
haha funny entry, well done!

Keeping it pro style I see ;)
Keep working on it cause you have such funny characters. Congrats for the job.
