So, you are the owner of a very strange diner. You have a lot of customers, and also you have a mysterious fridge. You see a client, you see what he wants above his head, go get it from the fridge and try to give this food to your client. I dunno why, perhaps you are drunk or something else, but your hands are shaking, so you drop down the food pretty often, and also the food can fly by itself sometimes… wut? I told you - it’s a very strange bar, even your hand is fake, lol. Sometimes your fridge will be full, so you'll be OUT OF SPACE, then you'll need to put some products into destroyer machine. Sure, you can just throw away food, but you'll loose 1 HP. So put 2 things into destroyer and keep playing. Btw, clients don’t like that stuff very much and they might kill you because of it. JK (NO. RUN) Also, you can tickle these cute guys by clicking on them, so they'll wait a bit longer. We used Pyxel Edit for art, FL Studio for music and Haxe based engine + Kha. We hope you'll have some fun, and hopefully you not gonna get nightmares ahaha ... hahaha...ha...
Fun game, a bit hard to understand the mechanics at the begining but two / three try you get it (maybe it's just me I don't know). Graphics and musics / sound effects are amazing !
Amazing graphics! The artwork added so much to the moon especially the creepy game over screen. Controlling the hand was difficult and I wasn't sure how to satisfy the customers. When I gave them the food they asked for they just threw it away. A bit confusing to understand but there's definitely some cool stuff going on here! Good job!
The graphics of this game are just through the roof! Music, presentation... all these aspects were phenomenal. Unfortunately I'm not the biggest fan of the "deliberately clunky to control" genre and the RNG, that sometimes doesn't even give you the chance to try and serve your customers doesn't help it. Still enjoyed it a ton because of the presentation =)
Loved it!! I managed to get the hang of it but it seemed like the RNG was always what made me lose because the food the customers wanted wouldn't spawn during the whole time they were waiting even when there was space in the fridge. I managed to get some decent rounds though, at least for my expectations. It is an interesting take on the theme and despite being pretty... ahhhh unique?.. it makes just enough sense :smile:
I definetly agree with @manusaiz, the game has a very unique and sophisticated look. I really liked the animations' feel and the take on the theme. I also loved the way you presented it. I didn't understand how to play it, though... i gave the customers the food they wanted, but nothing changed. Maybe an in-game tutorial would have helped.
Really polished entry ! Wish there was a little more context/tutorial at the start...
Pros : - Breathtaking pixel art - Great sound - There is some kind of interesting backplot with these ever-angry animals - Nice UI/drag and drop mechanic - That game over screen...
Cons : - Steep difficulty curve - Meals appear randomly in your fridge : unless I missed something, it is frustrating to lose because the right meal did not show up at the good time
Love the art. Was a bit frustrating because the fridge starts empty and then people come in requesting food you don't have (unless I was missing something). Was confused why food flies in the air while they were supposedly eating it and why dropping a food loses a life.
I love the palet and the freaky faces the animals make when you lose. I find the game sort of difficult, but mostly because the controls are imprecise. Maybe it lacks some visual feedback? Also the random nature made me frequently out of the stuff that the animals wanted (I guess that's the take on the theme? I understand that there is a button to reset the fridge but I could'nt make it work). Good entry overall! It just needs some refining :)

@kokonaught Thank you! I agree, visual feedback needed.
@jlv thanks! Yeah, it's pure random.
@lou-bagel Thanks!
@manusaiz @pyrodaes Thanks, guys. Yeah, sure, tutorial can fix this.
"I am pixelartist and animator looking for partner(programmer/designer)" I might check on you in 3 months for LD43 :yum:
