Looks really cool - is there a mac build floating around? Or even a web version?

SoKetteauthor12 Dec 2016, 10:53

I need to figure out some stuff to make a web version works. Even more figuring out to get a mac or linux build ! So not for a few days I'm sorry :\ (Also, judging was not supposed to happen so soon !)

I like the way the game references the one room theme; it's really subtle. Anyway, it's a great game!

Very good game, nice concept,

I can confirm it runs flawlessly on Wine. I enjoyed the game.

What is this guy doing when sitting on the chair?

Pietdagamer12 Dec 2016, 12:01

I had a lot of fun with this game, also, nice Futurama reference :P

SoKetteauthor12 Dec 2016, 12:15

@Starlight glimmer is the best poney : I guess he's watching some concerto, judging by the way he moves he hand !

Oxeren12 Dec 2016, 12:32

Cool! Looks great, and pizza delivery guy was awesome! :) Not sure what does it have to do with VR though :D

FiloGC12 Dec 2016, 15:19

gotta git gud

Soundless_dev12 Dec 2016, 15:23

Haha nice. My high score was 2477
It was confusing how if you were on the phone and pressed space instead of g or h to order a pizza, the person would still say they were gonna be "there... NOW" but then when you answer the door no one was there.

SoKetteauthor12 Dec 2016, 15:46

@Soundless_dev : Yeah I know, I forgot to implement the change I was supposed to make, but I had so much trouble making everything work correctly that let's consider it's just a feature :D

somnolentPumpkin12 Dec 2016, 16:21

A very fun little game! I really enjoyed it, even though I need to git gud.

ajayajayaj12 Dec 2016, 16:54

Really weird game, but cool.

SoKetteauthor12 Dec 2016, 16:57

@ajayajayaj : Well thank you, that's exactly what I was hoping for :D

kd7uiy12 Dec 2016, 17:07

Fun little game, a bit simplistic, but it works well enough I suppose.

BerneyTD12 Dec 2016, 18:07

I loved the pizza guy's sound! This was a really funny and interesting game!

Danman991412 Dec 2016, 18:12

Pretty hilarious. I love how the pizza guy vaporizes after the delivery. Also... WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THAT CHAIR!?

tinyworlds12 Dec 2016, 22:01

+1 for testing on Wine
I got 2856, did not find the easter eggs ^^
Funny little game, looks like he's doing something else when "resting".

crazyrems12 Dec 2016, 22:57

All I have to say is: 2412, killed by boredom.

ajayajayaj13 Dec 2016, 03:19

@SoKette (responding to your response to me) Haha, congrats on your first LD! You were linked in a tweet from PoV.

Gumboot13 Dec 2016, 08:02

hehehe. I had a good time, the sound effects are spot on.

SoKetteauthor13 Dec 2016, 09:11

EASTER EGG SPOILER :
-Delivery boy is Fry from Futurama.
-Why is the player John ? Because John Carmack AKA crazy about VR dude.

Paradoxa4213 Dec 2016, 09:45

very nice. I'm so salty while playing this game !! have to git gud

fullmontis13 Dec 2016, 15:12

The game is really funny. The thing I like the most is the eating animation, really funny. I think the game is interesting but lacks depth, there isn't any real challenge so it gets boring after a while. It would have been cool to have a different animation for every different losing condition.

lonesurvivor13 Dec 2016, 22:24

Nice one! I really like the graphics. Sounds are also good. Gameplay is simple but solid. Well done!

SoKetteauthor14 Dec 2016, 07:19

@fullmontis : I promise I will do this kind of change for the next LD, I'll have more experience this time ! :P

spacedoubt14 Dec 2016, 08:08

It's exactly like my real life, only my pizza guy's not Fry... I love the phone voice.

Geti15 Dec 2016, 22:47

Funny, if a little obnoxious. Congrats on your first game, here's to many more ;)

bentglasstube18 Dec 2016, 00:19

I really liked the idea but it seemed like you pretty much had to constantly go between eating and resting until you messed one up. The art and story was very nice.
