This was a great idea. I loved the ambiance of the restaurant, it was very immersive. The game loop was slightly repetitive, but very impressive work for a 3 day jam. There's a lot to be proud of here. Thank you for the fun!

Very cool idea! Definatelly innovative, or i never seen something like it

Thanks! That was my goal for this jam - to make something weird and new. This game was based on a true story…

Submitted

Yeah, i can see how it was inspired on a real events :)

Hilarious idea and charming gfx. Would have loved to see some "boss" emojis pop up every 5th one (e.g. 🤑) that required the player to use some unintuitive UI control that aren't sliders, like something from the "worst audio control" designs. Not the strongest theme integration or replay value but very memorable and unique.

Developer

That's a great idea!

Ruined the game for myself by just realising you could just see if the sliders made the points go up or down, and used that to get high scores. decent concept

Developer

This is a perfectly valid approach!

Funny and very original game!

Developer

Thanks!

Silly and fun, points for originality :)

Developer

Thanks. It's based on a true story!

Cool idea! I managed to make some silly faces :)

Developer

And that's all I wanted :)

Fun concept and easy to pick up and play. The only fault is that it doesn't clearly adhere to the theme.

Regardless, this is a simple but effective entry. Kudos.

The bug is in the art. This was my first time playing with shape keys, and the expressions turned out to be extremely wonky. I decided to lean into it, and built the game around the broken face.

Ah, that makes more sense. The whole game felt intentionally goofy enough that it didn't feel like an error at all (which is ultimately a good thing)

cool and fun but I don't find the bug

Oh frick, what did he just say? Was it a joke? Well, I laughed, no turning back now, I sure hope it was a joke...

Interesting little game, simple yet fun and quite challenging.

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Ha ha! Thanks for the kind words
