10/10 would pancake again
Thanks for playing! Did you manage to get to the end?

I did! I don’t think I was supposed to use the pancakes instead of the frying pan at the end, but I sure did. Very fun game, had a blast with it ^^ I didn’t notice the mouse sensitivity option, so being frustrated making pancakes is what made me get out of the truck and explore! So maybe that worked out in the end.
Haha Nice! Everything will work to take him out! Even pancakes. To get the player voluntarily out of the truck was hard, but the hard controls helpt xD (That's one we will fix after the jam)
Game was very difficult for me since there was no sensitivity option. (Meaning very quick movements looking around with a physics based system). Apart from that the game looked really good, it was fun to play. Due to my sensitivity I accidentally threw the pan at someone at lightspeed and something exploded which was a fun twist that I wasn’t prepared for haha. After digging deeper the game had a fun storyline with a mysterious secret. Overall well made for the 4 day deadline that we had!
Thanks for playing! There are sensitivity options in the pause menu that may help.

I was very confused trying to figure out what to do and how to make the pancakes (skill issue most likely), before finding out the cardboard trees and a not suspicious door in the scenery. Now I'm just left wondering whether those were actual people I made pancakes for.....
Became a 10/10 once I found out the pan was a weapon!
Thanks a lot for playing! You're definitely not the only one who got suspicious of those customers… 😅 And hey, discovering the other use for the pan really flips the whole thing around, doesn’t it?

I hate pancakes now 10/10
Fair enough! Thanks for playing. Someone down there definitely still loves pancakes… no matter what. (maybe you should find out who)
── The Team 😼
Very well done! Love the look of it.
Thanks a lot! We really focused on the visuals to give the game a unique vibe! Did you manage to find the ending?
── The Team 😼
I think so! I was able to stop the loop.
I liked the combination of the cooking and the unexpected part at the end. It's definitely an interesting twist on a standard cooking game. I enjoyed exploring the map.
Thanks for playing! Glad you uncovered the mystery!

The physics is kind of annoying, for me the <web build> game kind of lags a bit, so the motion blur makes the game feel delayed, but it's not the games fault. For me at least, its really annoying to cook pancakes because the pan keeps falling, and when it does, its almost impossible to put it in the same place to cook stuff again. Idk if I'm doing something wrong but sometimes when the pancakes are in the plate the guy in front just ignores it and the next guy takes it.
There were some really cool Easter eggs though, wonder if we are just in a box, giving me Good morning Good evening and Good night vibes. Also the cameras hmmmm, saw the note too. Tried smacking a guy with a pan, didn't really work, I also saw a guy explode I think, wonder what that is about
Overall pretty solid game! Great work :D
Thanks for the feedback! Sorry to hear the physics gave you trouble. WebGL lag and motion blur can definitely make things feel a bit off. The pan has a mind of its own sometimes (we're suspicious too 👀). As for the customers, there is a counter where you can drop the plate. Only the customer who ordered can take that plate. I guess what happened is that your order failed, and the second customer checked the counter and found his plate.
Now… for the sake of the story: someone’s watching you. I noticed some cables leading to a strange place. If I were you, I’d probably follow them. 😉

Btw, there is a sensitivity slider in the settings menu (You can access it using tab).
Much love to the Truman show reference ;D
That is a prety original cooking game, very fun to play. (go rate mine, please)
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed our weird little cooking game. There’s more going on beneath the surface than it might seem… 😉 We’ll definitely check out your game too

Well this one threw me for a loop, really fun, satisfied my need for throwing around a pan. 10/10 peak experience.
Thanks for playing the game! Did you also find out how you can break the loop ^^ ? There might be more content you haven't seen yet!

Let’s just say I met a certain birdy fellow.
It's not a bird xD😂😂😂(The artist who created it is now sad) (A few people called it a bird). Just don't say what it is. 😊😊
Haha sorry didn’t get good look because i beat him with a pan asap XD. PS: The art is really good btw.
Jup, the artist did an amazing job!
Had a lot of fun playing this one, even tho the pan did fall through the floor once xD
Great art too, Nice job!
Thanks for enjoying & playing! Surprised it only happened once LMAO. The physics can get kinda silly sometimes :p
── The Team 😼
I like how polished this is and clean. I wish my game was this neat.
Thanks!
── The Team 😼
Amazing game, Could make the pan automatically face up when you pick it and decrease the sensitivity, but overall great game 🙌
Thanks for playing! And yeah that would make it a lot easier but not as silly ^^ but we did add sensitivity settings in the menu! Hopefully that helps.
── The Team 😼
Art and the atmosphere were so cool. Good job!
Thank you!
── The Team 😼
Nice atmosphere and unique take on the theme. mouse sensitivity was a bit high for me. but enjoyed the physics based mechanics. good work.
Love to receive your feedback on my game too ^^ thanks
Thanks for playing our game! There are sensistivity sliders in the menu which may help.
( And sure I'll check out your game :D )
── The Team 😼
Oh, sorry, my bad. I didn't see them :(
No worries, they can be hard to miss ^^ Hopefully the game is more playable now and you can uncover the mystery.

Hi! Super nice project, I really enjoyed playing it! Made just one pancake and all the other days was trying to get the dynamite to the door with "no dynamite" signs :D
Liked the lore and all the little details all over, the notes and the cardboard trees. I can see that you put a lot of love and care in this game. It's also very good-looking! Amazing work!
Thanks for playing our game! We're glad you enjoyed it!

Really nice atmosphere and awesome pancakes (even though i burned a lot of them)! Feels a bit like playing inside of a painting :D
Thank you for enjoying our game! And we can relate, we've burned alot of pancakes too... But mastering the art of pancakes can wait when there is a mystery out there waiting to be discovered.
── The Team 😼
Really liked the idea of flipping pancakes but the controls seemed almost deliberately chaotic. Then I found something in the woods...still not sure what to make of this!
The game is not just about flipping pancakes. Maybe try searching for more things in the woods... I think there's something there...
── The Team 😼
Nice game with great ideas! It was a bit confusing at first but pretty fun when I finally understood what the game was about
Thank you for playing!

As a VR dev, I am so desperate to do this in VR instead :D As it was, I made a huge mess of my shop and fed like two guys...lovely art, great jam project!
Haha, doing this in VR would have been fun! 😂Glad you enjoyed the art and the chaos! feeding even two customers in that mess is an achievement! I hope he wasn’t hungry… Maybe if you explore a bit more, you will find out who he is.
── The Team 😼
Oh man I didn't even know there was more...I'll have to check it out
This FELT like an artsy project and lookinga t your credits I can see it was! It was absolutely amazing <3 I was terrible at cooking tho... So I immediately ran around trying to find a way through that door... I did not LOL
Thanks so much! 😄 We put a lot of love into it. Cooking can be tricky, and there’s a strange explosion happening every day somewhere… I’m not sure where, but it definitely feels like it could do some serious damage if you’re not careful!
