Loved the game, I had a hard time understanding what to do at first but at my second playtrough I got it, the difficulty ramp needs a small change but overall loved it

Developer

Yeah, it ramps a touch too hard for sure lol

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! <3

now THIS is my kind of jam! quick, ruthless, and absolutely hilarious. lovely art too!!

I was confused why the game ended, but I read the comments and figured it’s because of the queue length, it’s just not clear in the game. also, the timer doesn’t seem to do anything — I read it’s tied to the score, but I seemed to get 30 points regardless of time so idk. finally, it’d be nice with a quick way to try again after it’s over. once wasn’t enough!

anyway, that’s all beside the point — this is a stellar submission lmao

Thank you so much for the feedback! <3 I'll have to figure out what's wrong with the timer, I might have accidentally re-ordered the score calls and the timer reset or something. We have lots of room for improvement, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Ah, super fun little game! The art style was fantastic here and I liked the mechanics you went with. Thanks for making and sharing your game!

Developer

Thank you for playing our game, and your kind words. It really was an interesting experience that I look forward to doing again in the future. 

Developer

Thank you! <3

I tried the game on Firefox and Mac and it didn't work, but then I tried Chrome it worked fine. Making and delivering the gyros in time was a challange. What I missed was perhaps a clear historical setting and a story. A tutorial would help to. 

Developer

Super weird, I use Firefox exclusively. Sorry you had so much trouble. Thanks for playing!

I use firefox exclusively as well (under Linux) and It had no issues running the game. I’m running firefox-developer-edition 137.0b3 (64-bit)

I think there is a problem with Firefox AND Mac. It seems to be a bad combination.

The game is very fun. Mechanics are interesting and the gameplay is engaging. Gets very tough. Looks great too!

Developer

Thank you! <3

Thank you playing the game, we really appreciate your feedback.

This is a pretty fun little game. Although, I noticed that the timer didn't actually tell me whether I was going to lose or not (I lost when it was almost full, and I was also able to sit there while it was at 0). Overall, good job (especially considering your limited time)!

Developer

Thank you! The timer was tied to score only and would increase on completing an order, while game over was if the line got too long. Which, definitely should have been better clarified. This is super helpful feedback we can take into the next jam <3

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your feed back.

Pretty cool project, especially given the amount of time to work on it. Only downside is that I'm hungry now. 

Developer

<3 thank you!

The question is are you going to get an Gyro now? <.<
