Shabby Buffet by Devtactics

[raw]
made by Devtactics for LD28 (COMPO)
** NOTE: The game is currently unwinnable, but you might have fun just mucking around. **

You only get one trip to the buffet. Grab a plate. Fill it with food. Get it back to your chair (the green one). Try not to get bumped by the other diners.

Move: WASD
Look: Mouse
Jump: Spa--wait, why would you jump at a buffet? Settle down.

Unfortunately, it's currently impossible to keep *any* food on your plate for more than a second. Hooray for physics? This bug has pretty much killed the game. :(

I'm submitting it anyway in case it makes someone laugh. See if you can find the hidden "chaos trigger" that spawns more furniture (somewhat explosively). And I may add an Oculus Rift version if anyone's interested.

[ALSO NOTE: In the standalone builds, you'll need to hit Escape *twice* to exit.]

Too bad it didn't work in the end! It seems like you got a lot of things already done. It looks nice and I really wish there was an actual game to play here. Made me laugh though :)

That was a really funny game. The waiters tipping over tables is hilarious. I wish the plates could carry food a little better, I couldn't even walk with anything. Maybe something a little more bowl-like would be better.

I tried a bowl but the problem seems to be with the food particles forcing their way through colliders if the colliders move. I also tried doing the food without particles but ran into other problems that way. Oh well! :)

I REALLY like the idea, has the potential to be hilarious and a blast to play. The physics issue is a shame because this has a lot of potential and looks pretty nice. Would really like to play a finished version.

Pretty funny and maybe has potential if you work on it more. Nice effort!

I have seen your blog posts and was really looking forward to play it. It's different than imaged though. Even better. The waiters are awesome!

This was hilarious! I can just imagine the conversation: "Mommy, why is uncle frank pushing everything over? I'm scared"

Haha, I'm totally looking forward seing what you'll do with this if you ever succeed in fixing the thing. Also, two chairs got stuck in one another and started levitating, spinning around on top of another pile of chairs. I thought that was pretty fucking rad.

Awesome concept, and the way food spews forth from the buffet is both hilarious and terrifying.
Would definitely play a finished version of this!

Very pretty game but offers little in terms of gameplay.

Hah, this is so funny, love it. I know you have problems with the physics, but I really think this one has potential. First entry to give me a big grin!

Even though it's broken with the slippery food, it's still fun. Hope you can figure out the issue.

I kinda doubt it would be fun to play even if it was possible to keep the food on the table...

Already makes fun, even through its incomplete.
