Judge feedback

- Some really clever puzzles in this for those of us that remember hole punches and nice humour in allowing me to get electrocuted! Nice there are multiple ways to get data like the password as well - felt polished.
- Fun game, with a small map yet interesting to explore. Some very funny solutions for the puzzles are present. Puzzles are logical and not very hard. I would have maybe appreciated some depth here and there. For example, where is the dog? Is he hungry? Would it have been fun to interact with him, as with a sort of animal NPG?
- I enjoyed the moderate puzzle level here. It's a fun game, especially for players new to the genre. Not sure if I'd want to be guest at that particular party, though. Dog food tapas are heavily overrated ;)
- Some very clever puzzles! Great humour. I don't think I used the fork for anything besides shocking myself, eek! :D Lovely job!
- A great, fun little game! A nice length with some fun, not-too-tricky puzzles and a nice twist of humour. A couple of minor typos, but overall very polished and well worth a playthrough - congrats!

Fun game, really enjoyed it :)
There's a wee bug in that the fridge is always full of meatballs. If you open it after you've ****** the ******, then you still get meatballs, and can ********* more *********s, making the original ********s vanish :-)
Thank you for saying that and taking the time to play my game. That bug should not be so hard to squash.
--- SPOILERS AHEAD ---
Fun game concept, and I have two of the treasures already. Thought I would offer some feedback prior to judging (note, treat these as playtesting feedback, I'm not really commenting on the game itself at this stage):
To be continued ...
Thank you for this awesome feedback. Some things are small fixes. Others like the door is due to inexperience. The handball thing is a bug, Thank you for the idea on how to fix it. Apart from that it is always nice to know what ppl are trying so I can add sane responses and clues. Finally I should make it more clear that you don’t want to serve meatballs at all 😉 x meatballs and you will see.
Im sure I can fix this before jam ends.
EDITED
I believe I have now adressed everything in your feedback! The failure sound in the kitchen was a nasty little bug where the command was on the wrong side of a bracket :- ).
The version have been updated on itch.io. I don't have to resubmit to the jam right?
Best regards!
Michael
The game is updatable before and during the jam (based on previous feedback during the jam). After the judging period starts, the judge will evaluate the current revision that is available at the time of judging, so it makes sense to stabilise before the judging period starts.
