I had an issue at first seeing the swap recipe arrows, it would be great if they were bigger! At times I couldn't see what customers were ordering due to the cards and menu plaque. Also it was rather difficult to go from beginning to end of the recipes in good time.
On the other end I must admit a tangram puzzle game with snapping/turning and shape checking is a hard work for a 48h jam. The main ideas of tangram / cookie is very good and I think you could build a postjam vesions with more simple cookie shape ( for start ) and true shape detector + piece snaping. Lot of work, but I the result would worth it !
I started off the game trying to form the tangrams, but couldn't find any way to rotate the pieces and all but 3 of them (judging by your screenshot) were offscreen to the right, where I couldn't reach them. So I couldn't cover the entire shape.
This didn't seem to matter though. Just selecting the recipe and hitting 'bake' (With no pieces on the plate) made the customer happy and satisfied.
The audio clips a fuckton. If your audio guy has a preamp, use that, otherwise either find some other way to drop the sensitivity of your mic when you record, or just hold it further away from you. People notice bad audio quality sooner than bad visual quality, remember.
And the animation on the recipe book, while kinda pretty, took ages. If I can only see two recipes at once, I'm gonna be trying to flip through that book pretty fast and if I have to wait a whole second between each flip that's just unpleasantly frustrating.
Once my first day ended, I got a "good job you won, click here to go to the next level" screen, and when I didn't click the next level button for a couple seconds, a "you lost, click here to restart" screen was overlayed on top of the first, not letting me progress.
I have to imagine this isn't your intended end user experience. Remember you're allowed to fix game-breaking bugs and reupload them, just maybe mark the new version as not the original.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
