Very good game with pretty art, I love it ^^ You guys did great work for a 4 day jam!Thank you!
Very cool game. Very good idea about musical chair ^^ All is nice and fit well together. One thing, the control aren't very intuitive, especially power use, but it's fine, the difficulty don't need to use them too often ;)
Yeah controls aren't the easiest, I agree, but still thanks a lot!
this is cool!! really cool take on the theme. i was hoping someone would make a sushi loop game :)
Thanks a lot! One of our devs played your game and told us that he liked it so it's nice seeing you here lol
Sushi playing musical chairs is INGENIOUS! Honestly, such a creative use of the theme! I loved the art style and was really impressed by the quality of this game in such a short period. 10/10 for me! Freeze is the goat, saved me so many times.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Freeze really is clutch lol
This is cool! It was clever to add the roguelike mechanics on top of the musical chairs idea. It added a lot of extra depth. Nicely done!
Thank you so much!
Neat take on the theme. Playing musical chairs to not be eaten is an interesting concept. The controls were a bit rough. It often felt like I was being pushed around by the other characters too much. I also got the ginger, but punch did not seem to do anything, other than lower the number I had remaining.
Thanks, punch is in fact broken, will update itch page.
Terrific and adorable! I love the cats!
Thanks!
I see sushi, I like. Great idea with really nice pixel art! Good job! :D
Thank you!
Musical chairs with powerups is an interesting idea, but I wish you guys had a bit more time to cook with this because you're clearly talented. The pixel art was gorgeous though. Stole the meme screenshot, it is glorious, thank you very much <3
4 days did not help at all haha
Love the pixel art, the weird story, and the main idea, but the execution felt a bit flawed. It doesn't really feel like you can use the conveyor belt to your advantage, unless I was using it wrong I just ended up getting stuck and at the mercy of the other Sushi's when inside the conveyor. This then hurts the ability to plan a path on how to snag a powerup whilst securing a victory.
I would've wrote more, but I got softlocked twice in the regional competition round by getting shoved around by a Sushi into an obstacle
Yeah, we needed to make it clearer that there was not supposed to be control in the conveyor round, since the game was way too easy and less fun when you were able to plan an exact path. I think we tried to compromise which just ended up being frustrating as you described. Would it be better if the player was just locked to a spot on the conveyor belt instead of being bounced around by the other sushi?
By gameplay design you're forced to circle around the chairs like in an actual musical chairs game. Standing still would make it way too easy.
I think It'll be more interesting if we increase the chance of powerup spawns throughout the map
Now I'm hungry... Great game. Love the music!
Thank you!
Loved the little sushi characters! Proud to say I didn't get eaten.
Thanks and well done!
well I did get eaten
Thanks!
Really funny concept lol! The art and music are great and it even has lore!
Thanks for playing the game!
The concept really is far out there lol. Thanks for the positive words!
art and music both super great and a really fun game, very well polished.
Thanks!
Adorable premise! Love the sushi art. Just FYI: I think the apostrophes you used in the dialogue text might be bugged? They're showing up as squares with numbers in them for me, after completing the first level. Such a fun time, though!
oh yeah we def ran into that problem where the text didn't like the apostraphies but either way, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Wow i love the pixel art so much, large scale like the cat hands is always so impressive to me, the game is great too! I wish there was a little more feedback on some of the powerups, like hte soy sauce or chili oil just seemed to spill right under the bottle which was positioned on the right side of the screen and i couldn't figure out how to move it, but that might be a me issue
Yeah the powerup feedback isn't explained perfectly. Stuff on the side bar are click once to select, then click again to place. You don't move it once it's placed, it stays there until it despawns. Thanks for the feedback!
legendary
ty!
very interesting
Another sushi themed game! It was quite a popular game theme for this jam lol
I though it was a unique idea, I guess not XD
Honestly, it's really interesting to see how many different ways a sushi themed game can go. Uniqueness is about the actual game itself, and there are so many creative takes that games have taken. Took a look at your game, it has a very interesting concept!
