LunchLadySimulator2000 by fysx

[raw]
made by fysx for LD28 (COMPO)
This game is about cookies, righteousness, and well deserved punishment. Every day at lunch time the school kids get a cookie, following the golden rule: you only get one. However those pesky sneaky evil kids (as we all know them) however will try to get more than one. This outrageous evilness has to stop, and there is only one person with the power:

You, the Lunch Lady!

Punish those who are greedy, feed the needy.

Hint: you can punch students by swiping over their faces.

I can't seem to "slap" a student.

cool game, took me a bit to figure out how to punch them. This would make a good mobile game.

Good game, but I think you have to move the mouse too far across to slap a student (diagonal slapping was slightly better)
I didn't like that sneaky students that I already gave a cookie to count as hungry students when they go offscreen.
I think the game should allow you to just avoid the sneaky arms that already got a cookie as a viable play style, and the slaps should just be for bonus points.

Is it bad that I enjoyed slapping the students into oblivion? Very nice game! Very funny!

@YellowLime: many thanks for your remark! This is indeed a bug. I have uploaded a fixed version.

Apart from the slightly fast pace and how it's sometimes hard to slap the students, I don't really have any criticisms. Good job.

I cannot play the game on Mac OS X 10.9 as it is from a unidentified developer. But it's a very good game (on windows). Well paced and quite funny.

Adrable little game, very original. My only complaint is that slapping is too hard, I can't get it to work most of the times. But anyway, well done.

Christ, I would not last long as a lunch lady. Too often I was SURE I had served a student so slapped them only to find out they were innocent. Oops.

Innovative idea :) Nice one

Thanks for the comments! Slapping is quite hard without a proper mouse, sorry for that.

Also slapping is unfortunately (or realistically?) way more fun than serving. Next game will be slapping only to fix this.

@occash: more info about the crash? I just tested Windows and Mac version and both seem fine and the Linux version is being used by both. So hard to guess what the problem might be.

Very funny; would be better if there was clearer instructions and also motivation for slapping the students (maybe if they are randomly overweight).

Couldn't figure out how to detect sneaky student and slap any of them. Fun ambiance though!

Nice idea but i found it too easy

Coblynau: making evil students overweight is a great idea! If I make a post-compo version this would definitely be a feature!

Crashed after a while, entities/student.lua:134: Attempt to use destroyed body. Game was fun but slapping was kinda hard.

This game is pretty cool :D
Slapping is rather hard, but it's rather satisfying to teach some greedy kids a lesson x)

Nice game!
Its a bit hard to control, but thats ok. As a mobile version this would be great, but it would need some sort quick to achieve goal.
Pretty funny, how the greedy kids are knocked out mercylessly :D
Great work :)
