Overall this was kind of hard to play, but I did enjoy the concept and think that there's something to it!

The first few combos, I wasn't paying attention to the GUI, so I didn't see that I had to make specific orders. After a few failed attempts, I noticed. Then I continued to throw the wrong combos together lol. I think the game would be a little easier and more enjoyable if only the food OR the player was bouncing. EX: maybe the cook is standing on a kitchen platform and has to grapple an item, then shoot it at the other item to make the combo.

I like your fast food spin on the theme, and also how it doesn't feel like other cooking sims. Bounce! feels like a very original game!

I think that the graphics leave something to be desired, mainly because the colors don't really match. The purple background and green and red counters are a little too bright, and draw attention away from the main focus: the player and the food. I think most of the food items look great, but I had trouble figuring out what the green/blue/purple one was.

I think the addition of some goofy, fast paced music would be a nice touch to match the silliness and speed that are core parts of the game.

I enjoy the concept of the bouncy house fast food restaurant and think that it is pretty hilarious. I'm interested to see what else you could add by leaning into that idea even more :)

Thanks for the game!

This was a really funny concept xD

But damn am I bad at this game.

What a nice, nice game! I really like the art direction. It's very expressive, simple, yet cohesive. The colour choices, with bold primary colours for the UI elements, feel really nice to me somehow. I love how stretched out the lil characters are! They look great! The tiny food sprites look really cute and I really liked trying to sort through them as I played. Love love love the effect on the floating title!

The game design is super solid. The idea is simple, but it feels complete and it's well executed. The soundscape feels a bit empty but the little SFXs that are there are pretty good. The game could use more juice (even though that's almost always the case). A little bit of squash and stretch maybe, perhaps some freeze-frames when you combine food items or grab them, maybe some particles (but it's already rather busy visually so that would need to be really muted and careful). A matching/aiming game in a bouncy castle? It's really fun! And I really like the physicality of it!

I just wish there was a score screen at the end, and the win/lose conditions were clearer. I think it's supposed to be infinite? I only went as far up as 13! But it seems to lack a feeling of progression. Maybe more items being added as you go, the timer growing shorter, the food bouncing faster...

My main actual complaint (everything else is very much on the polish side, but the game is already very good) is that the game seems to fall short on the theme side to me. I understand that it's about meal combos, but it seems a lil farfetched. I do get it though, and that's very very personal.

Great job! Keep it up!

Overall: Good stuff. I got super invested, and found myself saying "Not the burger!" when I shot and the burger jumped in the way of the pizza. It's a good time all around. I wish there was a high score screen, or a limit to the number of customers, it appears to go on forever.

Fun: Yeah, this was great. You know a game is fun when you're smiling even when you're doing bad. You pick up the wrong thing, and you're like "ah, let me put this down" and it flies into the fries and you lose and you're like "Ah! New order!" and its fun. IT'S FUN!

Innovation: I've certainly never played anything like this. It's like a matching game with arbitrarily goofy physics added on top, and boy, does it work well.

Theme: The focus is definitely on getting the combo for the order. Good take on the theme.

Graphics: The flat headed customers look hilarious. Perhaps it was by design, but I found myself struggling to figure out which objects is which while they are moving really fast. "Okay, I need the pizza. Which yellow and red object is it?" but it somehow makes it more fun not being able to figure it out right away.

Mood: It's goofy. That's all I need to say, and yet I'll continue. The concept as a whole, the idea of a fast food worker working in these conditions brings me joy.

Audio: I wish there was some music, but the blips and bloops work fine I guess. Definitely could've had some  music.

Humor: yes.

Final Thoughts: I love it.  As mentioned, I think a final score screen is needed, but the game is very strong.

Definitely a fun and interesting idea, although coming from you that's to be expected. Despite the lack of music the sound design still meshes quite well and nothing is too grating. Graphically a bit plain, but serviceable enough, it at the very least looks intentional. The core loop has the potential to be really quite enjoyable, but the big thing that ruins it for me is the controls. It is so incredibly difficult to pick up a specific item and throw it at the other when everything is bouncing all over the place. Maybe that's the point, but I played for a fair amount of time and got maybe 5 or 6 matches total because I just kept missing or picking up the wrong thing and hitting something else when I tried to drop it. There's some potential here if it had some more time in the oven, but in its current state I unfortunately find it pretty much unplayable.
