Craft burgers in a tiny kitchen!

Controls:
- WASD for movement
- Space to jump (for fun)
- Left Click to activate
- Right Click to zoom

Goal:
- Craft burgers as presented by the tickets. Perfect burgers are worth more points.

How to play:
- Sorry! I wish there was time for a tutorial.
- Start by placing down a plate in the prep area next to the oven.
- Place down a bottom bun to begin an order.
- Get ingredients from the fridge or the cheese tray.
- Cook patties (raw patty on oven) and pick them up with the spatula.
- Cut vegetables with the knife.
- Assemble a burger according to the active ticket.
- Place the burger on the circular order tray next to the bell.
- Ring the bell to complete an order!

Tips:
- You can't pick up anything if you're holding a knife or spatula.
- Throwing things in the trash is fast but you lose points.
- Meat never overcooks (due to time constraints, lol)

FUN game, lacks a bit tutotial tho. Loved the graphics and the freedom in the game(I love cheese and I can place as many pieces of cheese as I want).

WHY did I choose to use the left side of my refrigerator instead of the right! What a fool I am! NOOOOOOOO!

The best game I have played so far. HOW DID YOU MAKE THIS IN 3 DAYS?!?! Great game

Kilthorne3 Oct 2023, 01:48

3D kitchen burner! Instead of having to grab each bun separately I could see using a knife to cut it. Yeah, I had to restart the first time because I didn't realize I could open the fridge.

I think this game would benefit from putting more pressure on the player. I can see this game being successful in the future if it keeps being worked on.

Euixauthor3 Oct 2023, 01:53

@wonkanese Thank you for the kind review. The source code is available on GitHub! I don't know how I made it in 3 days either. I spent a whole day working on a different game concept and it wasn't fun so I started over on Day 2. Let's just say I am in pain. Don't recommend it, lol!

Euixauthor3 Oct 2023, 01:56

@duckwings I agree! There's a few directions I wanted to go in this regard, but I very much ran out of time to try any of the ideas I had. It sort of feels frenetic already, but more player pressure and some responsive energetic music could go a long way I think. I was trying to capture the vibe of "stress in the kitchen on a busy night"

Playing this felt like i needed atleast 2 more hands. :D
Nice graphics! Tutorial would be nice, but i totally get that you had no time for that. Overall pretty impressive entry.

andrei.gusan3 Oct 2023, 06:37

I like the graphics

InfinityE3 Oct 2023, 08:59

Great game, impressed you made this in three day, good audio, great graphics, repsect.

Kaimon3 Oct 2023, 12:56

Fun game, i like the graphics, it would need a little learning phase with 3-5 unlimited time order to get started and it would be perfect, great entry

TheLastSlowpoke3 Oct 2023, 16:30

That was quick and fun! Loved it!

limpch3 Oct 2023, 18:38

The game seems pretty good, but i had a bug when take a cutlet first, and after cannot remove it from hand)

hacknick3 Oct 2023, 18:48

I liked this game. It was fun, but all of my orders was vegetarian :D I've made three orders and I was waiting for an order with meat burger to fry it, but it wasn't :D There is some meat in the fridge for speacial occasion I guess or I have to make more orders before frying. I like graphics and sounds. Nice game:]

Euixauthor3 Oct 2023, 22:35

@limpch This game very badly needs a tutorial, but you should have been able to put the cutlet back from where you picked it up, or put it in the trash to the right of the prep table. Thank you for playing it!

Euixauthor3 Oct 2023, 22:37

@hacknick The first few burgers are no meat to help ease you into the game, but the rest of them should have plenty!

Burger-flipping simulator, really interesting idea :smile:
Personally, wasn't a fan on being an one-handed chef, not being able to pick up stuff while holding a knife/spatula, but I guess this way there was more challenge.

Great job and congrats on submission!

Euixauthor4 Oct 2023, 20:28

@zanagi I intended on having the chef have both hands, but ran out of time for that (and a nice tutorial, which is very much needed for this kind of game). It does add a challenge, but maybe not the best kind of challenge for a game. :)

Cool game. To me, I think some of this is a bit too manual, for example having to return the knife after chopping up vegetables.

Cool implementation of the restaurant style game. Are you going to try to do more with it?

Eloïse5 Oct 2023, 20:47

I really like this type of game, good job ! maybe it might be nice to add a fast tutorial :p

Trevor Lentz5 Oct 2023, 23:50

Really enjoyed playing around in this. It would have been nice to have the tickets for the orders right in the character's HUD, with items checked off as you added them to the bun, instead of something you have to go back and reference if you don't remember. Very impressive! :)

Igor Morgun6 Oct 2023, 16:12

It's a good game, but you can't play on an empty stomach because you'll immediately want to eat, good job!

RicardoBusta7 Oct 2023, 08:41

Really fun! Just wish I could paralelize a little bit more what I am doing haha.
The chopping table only has 1 ingredient slot, so it requires a lot of back and forth to make the salada burger.

Nice one!

Sofia.J9 Oct 2023, 17:11

I'm spiderman X'DDD
Otherwise, It was very cool and catchy, I love that kind of game ! And very impressive for 3 days, i'll retry it :muscle:

LDJam user 3722319 Oct 2023, 19:12

This is so intense and addictive! I like how simple graphics are. And I also like this NOT RELAXING AT ALL vibe for a simulator. It took me quite some time to figure out that only one door of a fridge opens. Good work!

Euixauthor9 Oct 2023, 21:44

@nadia-pixel Intense and addictive ("always busy") was the vibe I was going for. As some others have said, I still feel like more "pressure" was needed though! For example, nothing is poking you with a stick pressuring you to cook those burgers other than that timer in the corner. The game really came together too late in the jam. I really wanted to focus on that! Thank you so much for the kind feedback and I am glad you enjoyed my game.

Euixauthor9 Oct 2023, 21:45

@sofia-j I tried to prevent the spiderman camera, but looks like I didn't do it right. I couldn't replicate this in my desktop build, it seems to be a web thing (hehe), and I have no idea why because the math is pretty straightforward. :)

Is that good? I feel like its good. took me a few tries to get it at least.

This one was fun. There were a few issues like the camera was slightly drifting to the right all the time and I everytime a new sound played the game lagged for a couple seconds, but other than that it was a really solid entry!! :)

I have to admit I was hoping it was a game made in bevy or rust, since you mention on my game that you were also a rustacean, but godot is cool too. keep up the good work!

Nice design! Really liked the game.

Dime19 Oct 2023, 18:42

I liked the limited use of arms in the game.
