So many parallel things packed into this game, that I couldn’t even touch the UFO while being overrun in the kitchen/gathering area!

Art is really nice and I enjoyed the funny kitchen appliances you made up. The funnny fat bird being the bin and the spit dino being the drink dispenser set a cool tone to the restaurant.

Enjoyed runing around frantically, when I ran out if ingredients, sadly had to cut early because for some reason I got motion sick while playing, but that is probably on me and not the game.

Well done entry with a cool integration of the theme!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Also, I'm sorry you experienced motion sickness while playing, it might have been because the camera follows slightly behind the player for a more smooth feel, but we will add a setting to toggle that off. Thanks for playing!

I really hope there is going to come a We're Cooked 2 :D

I love this. It's a very creative game with a really individual style. The first time I played, it wouldn't accept my first order for a hamburger (maybe because I ignored the instructions and went supply grabbing before going to the kitchen), but it worked fine after I reloaded the page. I'm really impressed by all the different characters - the frog cookers especially.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! It's strange that it didn't work for you, it should be playable in any order. I'm glad it worked when you refreshed the page though. Thanks for playing! 😀

Im looking forward to future projects @SirFishtopher

Developer

Thanks! Hope I don't disappoint! 😀

I love this game! The gameplay is pretty complicated, but not too much. It’s like two games in one! The simple controls with many different actions to perform was very helpful. I enjoyed the process of learning the recipes (it’s nice that there weren’t many). The sprite art and music is great too, it’s all so weird and creative and has a lot of charm. Y’all should be very proud of your work!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed our game! Thank you for the kind words 😀

I love the visual style here! I cracked a huge smile when the thermometer-hat-wearing aliens buzz at you when you burger patty is cooked in the frog's mouth. What a crazy sentence - this thing is OOZING creativity. I love it so much.

As far as gameplay goes, this is a pretty competant overcooked -like. The controls are super responsive, and I loved that the entire game takes place in a single space. It was cool to finish the tutorial and realize that the screen scrolls, and I could walk directly to the kitchen from my current location.

My main complaint was that I needed to constantly open the controls menu to review the recipes - seeing the recipes on the ticket would go a long way towards making this more immediately fun.

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the game! 😁 I'm glad you liked the art style, we were going to go with a more standard look, but wanted something more unique. Eventually we just landed on aliens and after drawing the first sketches, fell in love with the characters! 

Also, thanks for the feedback about the recipes, we we're running out of time and just had to throw it in somewhere. We plan on updating the game after the jam is over and may add the recipes as a sign on the wall somewhere in the kitchen.

I realy loved the game and the funny SFX,  It has great art and cool Music.

But it was a bit hard to get new ingridients.

Overall realy fun game.     :D

I would love to see more.   (:

Developer

Thanks a lot for the kind words! We'll work on balancing the game once the jams over :)

Submitted

Okay,Keep up the good work 

:D

I really liked the aesthetic, and there's an impressive amount of mechanics here. The aliens are kinda gross, but I liked the feel of the game, and it fit the universe. The sound effects and music are awesome, and I had a lot of fun playing this one. My only problem was that the difficulty could have gotten a lot harder. I probably could have gone indefinitely as I was at 250,000 points without failing any orders, so I decided to just get points from deliveries until failing and I got to over 50,000,000 points. It's hard to balance difficulty for game jams though, and overall it was a fun, well crafted game. Good work!

Developer

I'm glad you liked the game and thanks for the feedback. I agree that the game is too easy, like you said we were running out of time and didn't get to balance the difficulty much. The order timers in single player pause when doing the UFO so there's actually time to try it out, but it would be better if it just slows it down. We are working on a more balanced version to post once the jam is done. 

50,000,000 😳 The most we made it to in play tests was like a million 😂

Submitted

I didn't realize that the timers pause, but that makes a lot more sense now. Also, I would definitely play the updated version, and I'll probably try out the multiplayer as well.

Very cool twist on the theme! Fun gameplay, and cute art.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it! 🤗

The graphics and music were amazing, not sure if i should rate it now tho, i couldnt figure out how to serve the customers!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and kind words! I just added some instruction to the page to better explain how to play :)
You can serve the customers by holding the item on the ticket, then pressing interact while facing the ticket.

Thanks for playing!

Snazzy music loop. Also i like the creatures some of them are very reminiscent of Ghibli stuff e.g Totoro's and the frogs etc.

Wasn't quite sure how to play however loved the little space enviroment you made. The layout of the ship and claw with asteroids very nice and original.

I'm glad you like the artwork and music! I added some instruction to the page to better explain how to play :) 

Thanks for playing!

Nice game, good creativity, I enjoyed it though it did take a bit to figure everything out.

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀

Submitted

Your creativity is realy impressive, the idea of getting the food from the asteroids is very funny. The slime sprite is very cute. I just find a little difficult to see the food sprites. Great job making this game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for the kind words! Also, thank you for the feedback, the food sprites definitely could use some rework to make them a little easier to see!

Submitted

By far the most creative game i've played that was submitted in the jam. I love how you have to steal ingredients and the non-standard way of preparing food (cooking on a frog's tongue) And the graphics is really good. The gameplay loop was fun, even though I played in single player mode.

 I hope you guys will develop this idea further!

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.  While the game is more fun multiplayer, we tried to make it fun for single player too! 😀

Cute Game

Thanks! :)
