Hi! I spent a good half an hour with your game and I have some feedback! However... I am not going to rate your game because of some issues I had that meant I didn't make it very far and I don't think it's fair to give you a rating without taking a fair shot at the game.
- I like the cat! Very cute! I assume it's your cat?
- The meow was cute at first too, but I had to restart several times due to some technical issues and it eventually became a bit annoying, sorry to say.
- My first attempt at running this game it did not disable my mouse pointer so I could not look around very far, only until my mouse left the side of the game window. Additionally, I use dual monitors and that seemed to make looking around a bit wonky as well? Maybe just because it did not disable my mouse. I set my monitors to 'mirror' before I reloaded to fix this, so I am unsure if this bug is persistent.
- I got stuck and restarted a few times after picking up the first order. When da boss's text box popped up I was still holding the order so clicking made me read it again, and I did not know that I was supposed to press 'e' to drop it, I thought it was a bug. I eventually figured it out, but I ran through the intro again a few times before I did.
- I downloaded the game as well as played it in the browser. The downloaded version seemed to lag on my system, but the browser version worked fine? I'm on Linux and Firefox is my browser. Additionally, you've included both the Windows and Linux files in the Linux download, you could save some space by only including the Linux ones.
- When it came time to actually make the pottery I restarted a few times as well because I couldn't figure out how to make mugs hollow, but that was apparently a reading comprehension failure on my part because the tutorial does tell you, I just missed it and if you don't catch it you have to restart to see that again.
- Once I finally got a mug made I had some issues with the Kiln. Possibly I accidentally opened the door before the tutorial told me to and it didn't like that? Not sure. But my first mug clipped through the conveyor and I couldn't pick it back up, so I went and made another. My second mug also clipped through the conveyor, but it landed so I could see it's edge and pick it back up, then on the third try it registered on the conveyor as it should. After that the tutorials timing seemed off? Maybe I was playing with the timer before I got that far and it broke it but it did not make me wait 10 seconds after starting that timer.
- Finally, when the first patron returned and I had my finished mug it did not register and he told me he was disappointed and left. I am unsure if my mug was too large (it was bigger than the first one I made) or if it never fired in the Kiln correctly because of my issues with the tutorial timing and it didn't register as a finished mug. Or something else I'm not thinking of. Anyway, at this point I gave up, sorry.
I think this is a really cool idea for a game! I hope my feedback doesn't sound too negative, I'm trying to be constructive. I once again apologize for not getting far enough to see the actual gameplay loop, but I think my frustrations would be mirrored by anyone not in the jam trying the game if they had the same issues.
Have a wonderful day and good luck in the Jam! From some of the other comments it seems like your game is pretty fun once you actually get to playing it!
