That's Not My Pizza
Our entry for Ludum Dare 53!
We were short on time in the end because we could not work on the game on sunday, so no sound effects, except for the music.
There was also a nasty bug that I could not fix, so I had to scrap a small feature at the last minute. It was an indicator that told you what throwing the pizza at the right house gave you.
How to play :
The game is played in 2 phases.
In the first one, use your mouse to slingshot the pizza box to catch the flying pizzas.
In the second one, use your mouse again to slingshot the pizzas you caught in phase one to one of the houses. You have to pay attention though, because each house will either not want a pizza, or require a pizza with at least one specific topping. (Tomato sauce, cheese, pepperonis or peppers. The brown pizza has no topping, no one will want that.) You lose a life if you throw a pizza out of bound, you gain money if you give the right pizza to the right house, and you will gain money AND lose a life if you send a pizza to the wrong house.

Fun game a bit confusing at first though.

Unique concept, and the game is pretty good in the audiovisual department! Music is kinda addicting hehe
I found the controls a little bit confusing at first (and tough to aim with the slingshot ) but after some time I got used to it. Got a high score of 34 (not much, I guess haha). One thing to note is that the first time I played I accidentally threw a pizza box so slowly that it took me ages to figure out what was happening.
I like the idea of delivering pizzas to the right houses, it could be a little easier to aim on that second part, but the concept of a two-phase game was pretty interesting!
Great job, congrats!

The concept of catching pizzas with a pizza box was pretty interesting to me! Only thing to say on that is that it's a bit weird how low the pizza box is, because from my experience, you move your mouse down to sling the pizzas. This way doesn't offer a whole lot of freedom.
Something major I didn't really like was the different house, different requirements gimmick. It definitely adds a little extra involvement in the game, but I didn't feel like I knew what symbol meant what most of the time. A guide or tutorial probably would've helped this.
Cool concept, great use of the theme, outstanding graphics and music, pretty good entry overall!
