It wasn’t obvious to me at first that the fries in the middle could move, and then I saw the “WASD” on-screen and suddenly it was a lot easier to stay alive! XD
One suggestion for future improvement, would be to show some visual progress when spreading, so you see it spread on thinly at first, then more and more until the final jam-covered slice. I was a little unsure if I was doing it properly at first due to the lack of visual feedback (other than the knife sliding over the toast).
This could become an odd little niche simulator game on Steam, if you decided to take it that far :P I’d probably wishlist it, too.
I liked how it seemed like you had to catch the void when it was smaller for an easier fight? The larger ones seemed to have more enemies. That’s a nice touch.
Not sure if there’s an ending in this version, but I died so many times anyway… glad for the unlimited respawns :P
I always thought game jams were 24-48 hours. I think Ludum Dare was my first knowledge of them existing, about 10+ years ago.
This jam was the first time I’ve heard of a game jam lasting 2 weeks, so it actually felt achievable to enter. Since then I’ve discovered that many of them have longer timeframes like this.
This is the first game jam I’ve participated in. It’s also the first game I’ve ever made and released publicly! The other two people in our team were in a similar situation, it’s their first jam as well.
