Deep Dishpair
You are a Pizza Maker who has a dream, a dream to make the Deepest Dish Pizza, and luckily you just found yourself some help.
Cook your Pizzas, serve your Customers, make offerings to the God of Pizzazz, and make your ultimate Deepest Dish Pizza. Just don't upset your customers, or the God you now serve.
I went a little silly with this, more than partly inspired by the theme announcement tweet. There's still no Audio again this time around, I am by no means an artist, and this makes my first time working with Unity, so *that* was a whole thing I had to learn how to do! Given that I'm pretty proud of where I managed to end up, even if it is nothing but rough edges.
There's currently one bug I know about and that's on very rare occasions an "unassigned" order will come through. It happened once during playtest and I've been unable to recreate it to fix it. So big apologies if that strikes anyone.

Thank you)
Too bad that there is no music, but still very funny and challenging.
I found myself hooked into it instantly. :v:
My feedback:
- Clean controls
- Good tutorial (+1 for making it skippable)
- Hilarious premise with the God of Pizzazz (it definitely SHOULD be the plural of pizza)
- Relaxing experience
- Fun and increasingly challenging gameplay loop
Some ideas to make it better if you want keep developing the game:
- Grab some sound effects (can be done in minutes with sfxr for example)
- Make important UI elements stand out a bit more (e.g. the oven countdown and slot information)
Anyways, thanks for the experience I absolutely loved it! :smile:
I'm a sucker for word puns, so of course I needed to check out something with the word *Dishpair* on it. Saying it just puts a smile on my face.
Dishpair.
Heh.
Anyhow, what can be said about this entry? I'd say that, despite it's simple presentation, the core game is actually a blast to play. It has that allure that a lot of time management cooking sim games have, but with the funny weird plot and incremental mechanics tailored to the player's wants rather than needs. Thus, the game's pace is dictated solely by the player, which, in my case, felt a lot more relaxing and thrilling than cumbersome and pressurring like other games I've played before (Cook Serve Delicious 2 still haunts me. Got too difficult too fast).
So yeah, even if we account for the simple art, no sounds and some rough corners (the game even crashed on me when I opened it the first time), I'm willing to say it's one of the most fun games I've played in this jam so far. A good idea and a good execution overall!
May the great God of Pizzazz bless your day! :pizza: :whale:
