the game lagged on my browser but i guess that's on me lol. i loved the game! from the art to the music to the gameplay, it was all great and i think this game is perfect to play on mobile if you ever plan on doing that.

Oh lol, this game put a smile on my face the entire time i was playing it. Didn't expect that i'd be putting ice-cream on random food. Maybe i should try it in real life... I had a small issue figuring out how far up i needed to drop the ice-cream from, other than that, y'all did a great job!

Loved the overall presentation - the art and music.

Hmmm, this one reminds me of... Mine! ^.^ Love that someone else did an ice-cream conveyor belt - I tried to make mine play similar to that old pizza making mini-game from Club Penguin, and this one has a similar game feel as well. Putting ice cream on top of regular food is really silly and fun!

Really great take on the theme lol! I like the way the game scales in difficulty as you progress. I kept dropping ice-cream on the ground because I wouldnt go far enough with the mouse. Also the ice cream sound is a litte too, squishy and wet sounding imo. But overall great work!

I genuinely appreciate the simplicity in the art style, but I did have some trouble with the perspective. I believe the art could have more dimension to it, such as shifting the colors the further the hand and spoons go, so it won't be too confusing. other than that the game was fun. :)

the perspective is kinda hard to get used to but overall it's a pretty swee- *plunky walks by in the distance* holy heck guys did you see that?!!?

No way... how did plunky even get in there? O_o

I completed 29 dishes! Everything's better with ice cream :) You can't beat my score, I dare you! Good job to the team that made this.

This was charming! Reminds me of that Club Penguin game. I did run into a little trouble finding out how far away I needed to drop the ice cream for it to count. When things picked up, I sometimes wouldn't see what I needed to add to the order until it was halfway across the screen too. It probably doesn't help that I'm using a trackpad though, so that's on me.

Yeah that’s an unfortunate bug we only learned about after we submitted. We have a few smaller patches planned after the game jam concludes though, so thanks for the feedback

I love the way this game looks. The concept was really cool as well, reminded me of my favourite game of all time: Papa's Freezeria. A la good job :)

Really fun and cute game!  I love the hand drawn art direction and I appreciate the dynamic menu design with what appear to be manually drawn buttons!  The smooth bounce that all the icons have whenever they move or are highlighted is also quite nice.

The only difficulty I ran into was when I went to go and drop some ice cream often times I had a bit of trouble figuring out how far up I had to move the mouse before it would register that I wanted to drop it on the plate/bowl.

I also really like that you keep the game interesting by ramping up the difficulty fast, it never overstays its welcome or gets too boring.

Cute! Reminds me of games like hotdog Bush

Developer

I hadn’t heard of that, thanks!

Well polished! The perspective is funky, I like it. I love the how you interpreted the theme! 

Submitted(+2)

The art, presentation, and gameplay were very polished!

Also, a funny interpretation of the theme. While gameplay was fairly simple, it was implemented well. My only real gripe would be to add some kind of shadow to show when the spoon is over the conveyor belt. Being a 2d game, it can be hard to tell when you have enough depth to drop ice cream onto the food. Also, it’d be cool if the score was listed on the game over screen.

Overall, really nice art with great gameplay lead to a very polished experience. Great job!

Developer

Great feedback, yeah a shadow would be a simple but effective visual to mitigate that problem

Really loved the vibe, reminded me of an old windows game I used to play as a kid, the music was incredible !

Submitted(+2)

I took me back to the flash games era i really enjoyed it, all though its a bit hard with the perspective of putting the spoon but i loved it!! Good job dude!

My wife has no depth perception and always wishes she could transmit what that's like into my brain. This game has done just that!

Actually, very good game. The visuals are cohesive and fun.  The gameplay made me laugh and is enjoyable, so well done team!
