Hey I like this idea! The overarching narrative of "go fight the food bosses to bring the food to the ungrateful looking customer is very relatable and interesting--it does seem like you ran out of time on it though. The art that you did have time to finish looks pretty good, and I liked the music until it restarted over and over when fighting second boss (couldn't figure out how to beat unfortunately). Good job on this!
yeah this idea was thought up the last 4 days sooo yeah I didn't finish on time... thanks for playing
Cool idea but some part of the execution was a bit lacking. Like others, I got stuck and I didn’t understand that making milkshakes would remove the strawberries even I was still seeing them in the UI. One thing you could change to make it better is remove the countdown when opening a crate. It’s not really useful.
Congrats for your entry!
thanks for your feedback, sorry about the broken mess of a game
Got stuck at the second boss fight too, she would ask for 2 chocolate milkshakes, I would give it to her, she would disappear (I assumed defeated?) and I couldn't leave the room. I clicked retry a couple of times but it always ended the same way, always after delivering the 2 chocolate shakes. I'm also a bit confused at why those were boss fights, can you fail at them? The first one didn't seemed to fight back, and from what I understood, nothing happened if you kept the milkshake lady waiting as well. But other than that, I think the controls were nice, the character would slide just a little bit when trying to stop running, giving some Super Mario World feel to it. I like the music and the pixel art too, but the gameplay and the levels felt unfinished, but that's somewhat to be expected from a game jam. Nothing in the game felt broken on a game design level, you just need to finish it and maybe add a bit more polish. Good job!
yeah tons of this game is severely unfinished. Honestly it's a Frankenstein of a project, I just blended all my fail attempts in the previous weeks and justed spliced them all together and the bosses I didn't even give them Amy sort of danger. My ideas that I had where very Interesting towards the end here, but ran out of time, I appreciate you playing my game
This was a nice retro game. I definitely was feeling the bug issues you mentioned. Thank you so much for sharing.
Fun style, I liked the main character animation and the style of the bosses. I did get stuck though on the second boss (saw the note about having exactly 3, but the smoothie maker wouldn’t make any more smoothies for me, and also it seemed like even when it was my strawberries were capped at 10 after several boss retries). I also felt like the second boss was more determined based on the slowness or position of the platform, making it less about my skill to complete since I depended on that to “deliver” the smoothie.
yes the 2nd boss level design is a very very interesting one. First off fun fact the 2nd boss level is based on my first idea of the game I had in mind when I started this jam...I failed my first idea of the game and scrapped it...and after a few more failed idea that I tried on the last 5 days of the jam I had the idea where the game you are now playing. I wanted in some form or fashion put in that cooking game element that I worked hard on for the first 20 days, but failed. I quickly put in that element into the game and realized that I still couldn't figure out certain things, so I settled for a cheap platform solution to fed the boss. Trust me I didn't want to go that path, but there was so much more stuff I needed to work on so I had to settle on that. Plus I forgot to fix the bugs on the door.
Yeah I totally get it, nimble solutions to make it work in the timeframe you’ve got! Given you had one direction and then had to switch to another, I think it’s commendable that it didn’t come through in the gameplay - and what I mean, is it stands on its own, it wasn’t too counterintuitive what to do (little bugs like
equals 3aside, can’t catch everything!). I was pretty stressed in the last couple days myself as I had to reimplement a core mechanic that if broken would have rendered the whole thing useless.Not sure if you count this as a win, but you did inspire me to make a chocolate smoothie which I just finished drinking not too long ago :D
hahaha yeah me too making the boss design and the elements to the stage made me have a couple of shakes myself 🤣
Haha this was fun! Great retro vibes and I really like the pixel art. The main character is very well made and the burger boss and the ice cream lady are pretty cool. Have you played Cuphead? The second boss could live in the same world haha.
I have to say that I would have prefered a restaurant interior setting or so for the tiles. Not such a fan of the red bricks.
Cool game, congrats! :)
oh my god that is the best comment to any game that I had ever gotten, yes I love cuphead and that's where I drew inspiration from! Yes that is a better choice of tileset than what I went with
That was funny to play !
A very original platformer. The way you motivate the player to progress is smart !
omg that means alot coming from you! Thank you so much! First time putting rhoigh and effort into a platform
Love the feel in this game! Especially like how the platforms converge in places, and the art of your characters! Well done man!
I had some issues in the downloaded version. It stayed there all the time:
Also, i got nailed to the ground hehe
First off thanks for playing! I am currently working on fixing all these bugs I hope you play it again once it's fixed. Thanks for looking at it, yes this is the best pixel art I've done recently, I'm proud of all the designs
UPDATE! ITS BEEN UPDATED, YOU CAN PLAY THE HTML VERSION NOW. AND I FIXED THE ISSUES
Yeah, burger monster! great game man, love that you have to beat the food to complete the order, well done. Cute baker character too :)
thanks for playing my broken game! I hope you come back and fully play it once it's fixed. Currently working on repairing all the bugs
UPDATE! ITS BEEN UPDATED, YOU CAN PLAY THE HTML VERSION NOW. AND I FIXED THE ISSUES
good work bud, i beat the milkshake monster, what a babe! anyway I can't get out cause you need 3 strawberries and I have 10
You can get rid of strawberries by making milkshake out of them! Sorry I forgot to change that, I'll post instructions on that now.
