now i understand why this is the most played game on this game jam

this game is just simply good

but in the game's dashboard you can select that it will fullscreen the game


Developer(+1)

I wanted to do that, but inside Unity itself, I couldn't configure the game correctly so that the window would display properly. Even if the itch.io screen was full-screen, the game itself would have stayed in a small window. So, I compromised and made the screen on itch.io (and consequently in Unity) a bit larger. I am really sorry for that

Very good game, maybe add a online leaderboard? Could be very fun as a mini game in something like Mario Party!

Developer

Yes, it would be a good idea. But I dont know how to do it and I wont try to do all only with my skills

Submitted

Very clever way of implementing the theme and object! Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

This is a very creative take on a "serving" game, simple but addictive. The detail of being able to rewind the clock fits the theme very well.

Developer(+1)

Heh, you found the trick with the clock. You're an attentive player, respect.

Cool game! I liked a banana forms. And system past or to future

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This is awesome! I love the idea and the gameplay/art/and sound all work together super cohesively. Feels like a flash game I would have played back in the day. It works really well! I actually disagree with the other commenters, I think the graphics were perfect for the kind of game you have. I dont know how they could be improved. I also second the other guy, an expanded version would be sick, maybe you have like a quota and can buy upgrades in between days? Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your comments. I agree that quota would be nice, but I just forgot about this feature at that moment :)

Amazing! When I first saw the microwave, 'Steins;Gate' flashed through my mind. I played the game and it was really well-made. You implemented the gameplay so creatively. I actually learned something from this. It made me realize that I had been too closed-minded. The hardest part was catching the falling bananas. Phew, that was the ultimate difficulty level for me!

Developer

I really love to hear that! I tried to make something really interesting with that theme. I didnt thought that the hasrdest part was to catch bananas, mb i should make colliders bigger

Submitted

It was a cool expirience! I like how you implemented Jam's theme and Special object, it fits good!

Developer

Nice to hear it. Thanks for play!

Submitted

It's really cool! We had kinda similar ideas! I liked how you could interact with objects and the art style really complimented it well. Had a blast playing!

Developer (3 edits) (+1)

Great minds think alike. Those three sleepless days were worth it. Thanks for playing!

    Haha, I found my dream job!

    I really like the game idea and art style of this. Figuring out all things you can interact with was cool too. Does manipulating the wall clock actually change anything? Hmm, I'm not sure...

    Would love to see an expanded version. Maybe with more equipment? Or some upgrades, like auto cooking or multi-banana recipes. And you need some cleaning tasks! Endless ideas =)

    Cool game jam entry. Had great fun!

    Developer (2 edits) (+1)

    You figure out clock control, i thought that nobody find this out. Thanks for playing!

    Submitted

    It's a pretty simple game, but the gameplay is very engaging. Perhaps more work could have been done on the graphics, but given the limited time available, we shouldn't really expect any graphical masterpieces.

    I started practice drawing a few month ago, so i really didnt have time to draw something better 

    Submitted(+1)

    So cool!

    Developer

    Thanks for playing!

    Cool premise, got old pretty fast though. would love to see more mechanics / make it get harder as it goes on

    Developer

    but im pretty sure you didnt find my secret mechanic ;)

    Submitted(+1)

    Good game!

    Submitted(+1)

    No, man, great job. I love how u incorporated the theme. Also, the gameplay feels really authentic. Finally, I love the sprites, remember me the Friv games, the core of indie dev games ✨️

    Developer

    It really nice to hear, thanks for playing my game! 

    Submitted

    I love the games drag and drop mechanic, reminds me of old I-pad games I used to play. Incredible Job!

    Submitted

    good

    Submitted(+1)

    The animations are great, and the gameplay loop and feel of the game are well done despite the limited time there was for this jam!

    Developer

    Thanks, i tried hard, but did you find all game secrets? ;) 

    Submitted

    So far, the only things I found were the time rewind, hording the bananas, and the little animation when clicking the round animal

    Developer

    So, there is another one thing that you can control ;) 

    Submitted

    Wonder what'll happen if you keep rewinding time forever? See for yourself! Too bad I didn't give myself the same mechanic
