Glad you liked it :D

I really enjoyed playing the game. It's quite polished and addictive. Good work!

Developer

Thank you!

Super polished and very additive. This game got me trapped into food service for a good while until I realised that I've been playing this longer than the other games in this jam. Great game and a very unique twist to those block puzzlers.

Developer

Hearing that so many people played this game for this long makes us so happy you can't even imagine ;w;

Love the japanese theme. Maybe a bit too easy, I got to 50k points without losing a single life by placing every item somewhere as soon as they spawned on the belt. But I'm a pretty good tetris player, maybe the skills transfer over to some extent :D

Developer

Yeah, we didn't have the time to add difficulty scaling, but it's on our to do list!

A great cute puzzle game that's relaxing and challenging at the same time! I initially thought it was tetris with a conveyor belt of pieces, but it's much more (and the fact that it's not didn't make it any less challenging!). Good work!

Developer

Thank you for playing it!

Fun take on a classic! I'm sure you've come across this already, but it told me twice I was in the top 7 chefs when being nowhere near there on the leaderboard. thought I was a super star for a second haha

Developer(+1)

As far as I know it should be already fixed for the build we're releasing post-jam

Thanks for reporting it! 

Submitted(+1)

A cool idea, and the leaderboard definitely gives incentive to come back and play more.

Developer

we got a lot of mileage from it!

Submitted(+1)

I've made my life mission to get the 3x (it's pretty hard!) . The audio payoff was good enough :P 

It's a simple game but it's enjoyable. 

A great Jam entry 


Developer(+1)

...what if I told you there's a 4x payoff (although it's an inside joke it's not as funny as the first 2 without context)

Submitted(+1)

I was so relaxed playing it ! I fought i was good, until i see the global leaderboard XD

Developer

There's some people who are grinding to no end... it's crazy

Submitted(+2)

Nice Game with nice aesthetic and music.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted(+2)

Nice game! It was addicting to keep fitting pieces onto the board. The aesthetic is also very cohesive and well done.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed our little game ^^

Submitted(+2)

I love that you made the game mobile compatible! I like that it forces you to play quickly, which sets it apart from some other mobile puzzlers. Great work!

Developer(+1)

The mobile compatibility is a nice trick that itch offers for some WebGL games: if your games only requires the click and drag of a mouse, you can make it run for phones as well! It's really handy :D

Cute art and clever gameplay mechanic! It's an interesting twist on this genre of game, loved playing it, would def play again :D

Developer

That's awesome to hear!

Thank you for giving it a chance and I hope you'll come back to this game when we push some new updates ^^

A very nice and original twist on a Tetris-like mechanic — I had a lot of fun playing it, and it fits the theme perfectly! The art is charming, and the 2x combo sound effect was as unexpected as it was satisfying. Great job!

P.S. The music is lovely — it reminded me a lot of Pachelbel’s Canon in D.

Developer

The game wouldn't be the same without Peter Allan's tracks and sfxs! Props to him ^^

The leaderboard is a brilliant idea, made me play it for like 20 minutes.

Developer

For that we must thank the "Talo Game Services" dashboard plugin that helped setting it up in the first place... Of course we still had to implement it and make it work in our game, all thanks to our amazing programmers <3

Wow, that conveyor-Tetris mashup is insanely addictive—I spent a solid half hour chasing the perfect layout! The food-rotting timer adds just the right pinch of tension, and the cozy izakaya visuals and sound really sell the vibe. Nicely executed!

Developer

It's insane to me that so many people tried our game for this long!

Thank you for playing it :D
