Nice start! I included it in my LowRezJam compilation, if you’d like to take a look :)

Easy to learn when the eggs were overcooked. I didn't figure out the bacon or bread.

I wonder if this game would grab me if the 64 pixel limit were removed - what would make it more fun? Different orders at different times? Upgrading to a bigger cooktop? More ingredients?

Nice experiment, though!

Thanks for playing my game. Some of those ideas were part of my orignal plans but I did't have enough time... :'(

Congrats on your first game! You've done really well. It took me a little while to understand how I was meant to play but it was fun when i got into the swing of it. 

I disagree with one of the other comments, in that I do feel like there was adequate visual cues. What might have been good is if at the start I knew exactly what colour meant the food was cooked properly, because that was a little trial and error and even now I'm not sure how much I should be cooking each item for.

The other thing that would've been good is having the game loop back around so I could easily try again. All I could find to do that was refreshing the page. 

Good effort though!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll add a reset button in my next game :)

Nice idea! With some crazy music and visuals of the grumpy customers eating their burnt eggs, this game could be hilarious :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! That's a great idea! Maybe also include a dramatic close-up of a customer's horrified face...

MAKE IT FAST is a game that could seriously do with some kind of tutorial. Sure, I found out what I had to do soon enough, but I feel that just playing it blind isn't as fair as knowing the rules first.

There's a overwhelming lack of visual and audio cues, too. It's difficult to tell when something is burning, and by the time you figure it out, it's too late. Thus, I could only cook one thing at a time.  How about some smoke, steam or fire billowing out of the breakfast items? Some chatter in the background?

A lack of complexity of mechanics doesn't help either. I just don't feel there's a lot to learn in terms of getting a high score. Not great, in my honest opinion.

Thanks for taking the time to play my game and share your feedback :) 

This is my first game, and I still have a lot to learn. I bet that a tutorial and visual/audio cues would help the game a lot, and if I'd had more time I would have liked to include stuff like this.

So this is your first game huh? Congratulations! The fact that you finished something and you took my criticism in your stride means you're better than 90% of the hacks out there. I can respect that. In the meantime however, I suggest you watch the following Youtube video. It might help you out in the future.
