This is amazing. It took me a bit to understand what was going on, but the experience of stumbling through learning was so groovy and pleasant that I didn't even mind. This game made me someone like me, who hasn't touched an instrument in decades, feel like a brilliant DJ. Very cool! Thank you for sharing!
This is a very neat card game! Using an actual teeter-totter scale to represent success is much more fun than just a scoreboard and makes the whole game feel more tactile and tense. Thanks for sharing this!
Hmm I can't recreate the problem on my end--when I test the game on Chrome on my Windows machine, it works fine. If you don't have the correct ingredients, it'll just reset the room ingredients, so it sounds like it's triggering the "incorrect" response for you every time, no matter what you add?
I love Watermelon style games, I always end up playing them longer than I meant. This was pretty fun, and the music choice was great. Thanks for sharing this!
Oh wow, this is such detailed feedback, thank you so much! My primary goal of this game was to create an atmospheric 3D scene, so thank you for your comment about the visuals and music. That's what I was hoping for!
And I'm so pleased that the lore and conversations were enjoyable enough on their own, even without "winning/losing" the game. I put a lot of time into writing content for the game and fleshing out the whole backstory, and it's so good to hear that the efforts are appreciated!
Thank you again for leaving such a nice comment and playing the game!
That was really fun! I left it running and amassed tens of thousands of currency... I ran out of room to put tables! I love the grumpy looking demon-employees too, very cute.
Oh that's so strange, it works on Firefox on my end (on a PC)! If you don't mind, what kind of device are you on? I know that some mobile devices (tablets and phones) struggled to render the visuals because of the 3D lighting effect I used (so the game works, but the light doesn't and everything appears dark).
Regardless, thanks for giving the game a try anyways, I appreciate the feedback!
Oh wow thanks for this thoughtful feedback! I worked really hard on the lighting effect so it makes me very happy to hear that people liked it. I agree on the camera needing some improvement--I fiddled with it a lot but you're right, honestly maybe some "settings" would have been helpful so people can set their own camera.
And I'm glad you appreciated the dragging mechanic--it was one of the earliest things I had in mind for the game, I really wanted the act of a conversation to be "physical", like you said--forcing yourself to speak, literally putting topics out there, etc. I had a dream of making it so you could play the entire game with using one word, but I quickly realized what an overwhelming amount of content that would have been to create, so I scrapped it. I'm glad that the variety of content was still enough to keep it interesting! Also In the Forest is mysterious and folksy, so lovely.
Thank you so much for following and for leaving this comment, I really appreciate it
Ah it's probably because you're on mobile--the 3D lighting seems to struggle on mobile browsers. In theory the game works, but nothing is lit properly so you can't see the scene.
