I really like the presentation, and the work on the os, it was really well done ! Gameplay wise, it's a neat idea, but i was lost at some points, not knowing where to go. 

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I was thinking of adding hints on my game page, but turns out, I can't mark text as a spoiler. If you're still interested, feel free to ask for a clue though!

ha ha i'll try again blind at some point!

This is a neat game that captures the out of control  theme really well! It was very intuitive to play (which is a big plus!) and felt good with nice audio + SFX really adding to the game feel.

In the end, I could not buy my friend the soup. What is my name? I forgot : (

Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! As for the name, after the emails get scrambled, 3 = E, 4 = A, 7 = T, 0 = O, and 5 = S. Glad you enjoyed my entry!

Hmm telling from the other comments I do assume this is a exciting game, but I was unable to run it on Mac, it just kept giving me the error of:

The application “Buy Me Some Soup” can’t be opened.

Developer

Sorry about that, I don't actually own a mac so I was unable to test the Mac version of the build. It is probably a broken export due to some issues on my end ( :( ).

If you don't have a mac, then it might just be unplayable on Catalina 10.15+ due to Apple changing some of its policies on this stuff, unfortunately. It might well work on previous versions but not on newer OSX.

This is absolutely a masterpiece. Nice mechanics, really cool music and graphics. The puzzles were nice and satisfying. Awesome game! I really believe this can make to the top games.

Super cool. How did the game know my name?? :D 

Submitted(+1)

I got so freaked out when I realized my real name was appearing on screen!! *shudders*

Great job!

This game makes me go YES! Great art and music! (I saw this on stream last night, real fun concept)

Submitted(+1)

Well, what can I say? Soup? Soup.
Nice game, nice setup, nice puzzle mechanics, not too easy, not too hard either. Great musics, great art, great gameplay... Do you think you'll expend on it once the review time is over?

Thank you! I'd like to flesh this out more and make a post jam version with more content and easter eggs, but we'll see!

Nice take on the theme! One bit spooked me out!

Submitted(+1)

oh man, when this game started printing my real name on the screen... 

Great job!

Submitted(+2)

Honestly my favorite game of the jam so far, incredibly creative and definitely deserves far more reviews!!! 

Submitted(+2)

This was really fun! I genuinely enjoyed poking around in this one, which I can't say I enjoy doing a lot of the time when playing Jam Games. If there was a lot more here, I would definitely continue til I saw it all.
