How does your game fit the theme?
The sushi drives on the loop in the restaurant and the hamsters cannot stay fed up

Cool game! The artwork is very nice, and I like the concept. Unfortunately, I felt like there was no consistent way to serve the last customer, either because the wheel moves too slowly or other customers ordered the same dish. But other than that, well done!
I like the idea, it's a really creative take on the theme. The art and audio are pleasant
That being said, this is probably the hardest game I've played in this jam so far, to the point of feeling unfair. The entire restaurant often settles on wanting the same thing, which is barely manageable the first time, and the second time it happens I loose before really getting into the groove.
Aside from balance, I think more feedback on successes/failures would improve the overall experience
Cute game but it's a bit slow and I don't know why but it ended abruptely
Cool idea and cute art. I think the treadmill goes very slow and it takes forever to get to the last two hamsters. I don't understand what 'fail an order' means, because apparently if a hamster requests something that's not on the treadmil while something is already coming, they ignore it, which happens many times because it spins slowly and you need to add the orders from the further away. Satisfying regardless, and I love to feed the hamsters :3
failing an order is when their Timer runs out without the correct sushi
Came for the cute hamsters and was not disappointed. If you ever stop at my sushi restaurant please never sit on the right or you will starve 😂
This is Maki me happy by playing 🤣 Cute game!
thanks :)
I love the art and the idea!
thank you!
It is very cute !
The art and music is so cute! I think the aspect ratio is a little off, not sure if that's because of some itch.io settings
Very cute artstyle and a great concept. My biggest criticism is I think its impossible to create a strategy to consistently serve everyone. Maybe hamsters down the line should get more time to fulfill orders or maybe we should be able to change the direction of the line.
Regardless its a very fun and well made game!
yeah we also noticed that in testing but as a short arcade style gamejam game we decided it should be a little unfair rng to not be endless;)
reversing the loop was also once in the Game and it felt like cheating becaus basically you were just reversing all the time
thanks for your constructive Feedback!
Very cute game! The eating SFX are so satisfying.😋
Very cute concept. I think some of the hamsters further down the line need a slower timer since it doesn't seem possible to feed them before the time runs out.
thank you! yeah it is quiet rng to get the last once fed xD but we figured before doing more balance changes: it is a gamjam game acrade style in the end for some few minutes of cute fun so we left it rng :)
adorable!
Really nice idea & super cuteee
So cuuuuuuute, and also maki me hungry
I love hamsters so much! So this is the cutest game ever. Love the artwork.
we also love Hamsters and we always wanted to make a game with them as protagonists
Loved the way you used the theme, game play was fun and the art was very cute! Great work!
thanks alot!
