Phenomenal game! The art and music are so excellent and I love your energy! After your last two stellar entries, I was super excited to see what you made this year and it lives up to the hype! Super well done!
P.S. The opening was wild and I love it!
Such a strong showing of the iconic Edwin Damen art style and vibe overall. Such a distinct and fully-realised direction that carries through every aspect of the game, such an achievement.
I mean, you kill it every year, Edwin and this years no different. Your art style is incredibly memorable and striking, and the music fits perfectly. Really love how the mascots are integrated with the gameplay and the fakeout at the beginning was a hilarious touch. Stellar work!
Amazing start to finish. The art was so nice, and I love the horror take on the mascots.
That intro made me laugh, loved the interpretation of the mascots and that intro song is still stuck in my head. Great visuals throughout, even more impressive considering the time that we had to finish this. Great job!
Great humor, loved the intro - music & art nailed!
Awesome artwork! Great music! I think the layout for the game was pretty cool, going back and forth with The Smoke Box as a hub in the middle. Boss fights were interesting, too.
It's wild how you made this in just the time we had! The art is outstanding, the music goes HARD, and the gameplay is really fun. Love your interpretation of the mascots, and I had a great chuckle at the enemies. Love your references to your older games too, brilliant stuff!
Incredible visuals and cinematics!
took me a second to get a hang of the gameplay but once i did it was a good time. the art is incredible and i love the designs of all the mascots. also had a food number of giggles at the story
As always amazing stuff. You impress me every year with what you're able to accomplish in such a short period of time. I liked the nods to your previous games in here too.
Hard to come up with something to say that hasn't already been said by everyone else at this point. Excellent all around! I really liked how different each of the weapons are, and how effective they were in different situations.
It goes without saying at this point, but I'll say it anyway. Your art is a highlight of these jams every year. I'm always in awe of your ability to produce so much art that's this good within the time limit. Loved these horrifying takes on the mascots. Glerry Hoggins stands out as beautifully monstrous.
Thank you so much! I am stunned by the artwork you shared, so your words mean a lot to me <3. My approach with these, to keep up the pace, is to go with whatever comes out. And sometimes what comes out is... a horrifying straw creature.
Thanks, man. The kind words really mean a lot.
And I guess you need to stick with that process because what comes out is gold every year.
Hey! I recognize the guy who voiced Steve!
That was a weird, crazy game! As always, amazing presentation and fantastic music. It took me a little while (relatively speaking) to pick up on the game's elements but once I got it I was smoking boomers and millennials left and right (literally). I did run into a bug in which the Pitmaster spawned at the same time as Taxxie, but all that meant was I had to take down Pitmaster twice and getting rewarded with seeing his cutscene twice. Also, the ending was perfect. Great job this year!!
Thank you so much! For lending your voice to this weird project, and for your kind words. The bosses definitely shouldn't spawn twice, thanks for letting me know! Edit: found the bug, fixed it!
Top tier art and music as always! The upgrades felt satisfying to unlock.
Amazing art style I look forward to seeing every year! Love your take on the restaurant mascots especially the skull salt and pepper shaker and the straws and trumpet for Glerry. Had a lot of fun as a potato floating in the air carried by an owl raining lasers below at my foes.
The voice acting sounded great too!
Just pure vibes maaaaan <3 Had so much fun with this one!
Thanks so much for your help! I added a bunch of little things and tweaked some numbers after your test run, that made the game just that much smoother.
