Love and Hate in Hell Café by Siuler LM
What would happen if a café were opened between two lands in war? It's time to give Demons and Angels some love! Match an angel and a demon. Nevertheless, it's needed to keep in mind their colour likes and dislikes.

This is a project of a video game made for Ludum Dare Jam 41 - Combine two incompatible genres: Restaurant simulator + Puzzle. But there's another incompatible combination inside. Unfortunatelly, I run out of time and I couldn't add too much details on it. But I will do it!

Thanks for playing!
How to play - Wait for the demons and angels coming to the Café - They will say which color like the most and which one dislike - Try to match with another creature from the other side by clicking on it - Once the match is done, see what happens... - Earn money by doing good matches - Running out of money means Game Over :(
Used Tools: - Game Maker Studio 2 - Photofiltre 7 - Gimp 2 - Adobe Ideas - Windows Sound Recorder (yes, I whistled to do the music...)
To be implemented out of the Jam: - Improved money management: adding blue spirits, fixing broken restaurant, asking for a mortage, etc. - Animated sprites (sorry for the static ones) - Final cute scenes: "Demon Bob and Angel Carl were happy for ages, therefore they lived in a rabbits farm" - Improved... improved... improved all :) -> I did this game alone in around 20 hours. I enjoyed the experience a lot, so I'm encouraged to continue working in this game. So, all your comments are welcome :D

Hi @theslate
Thanks! Now I'm also calling them seals :D

Hi @jlv
I toke note of your comments and I fixed some issues regarding the balancing. Now, new color demons and angels are comming after some matchings were done instead of by time. Also, I did some fixes in the money, so the green ones give (or retrieve) x2 of money. Red ones x3, blue x4...
Really, thanks for your opinion :D . I will continue improving the game with some ideas out of the contest.

Hi @gregwlyons
I wanted to add some cutescenes after the game to watch what happened to the couples done (or to the fighters) but I hadn't enough time to do it before the deadline.
Comments like yours encorage my to continue improving this game. So, thank you very much ^_^

Hi @yubs
Thanks! The idea came to me from 3.15 am to 4.00 am (Spanish timezone), when I was trying to fall sleep after watching that bizarre theme for the videogame. Maybe its quirkiness is due to that :D

Hi @spenn
Really? Thanks! I did all of them using my voice. I like the most the one when the wall is broken. My cat hates the one reproduced when there's a fight! Hehe

Hi @willowblade
I did the title page 4 hours before the deadline. It will be a bit better someday ;)
Regarding the blue seals, I did the Payday to take place a bit sooner, so they're earning a bit more now. In following version, seals will be able to ask for having their salary increased. It seems all of you are loving them!!
Thanks!!

Hi @chris-coe
I kept in mind your comments and I decided to upload a new version fixing and balancing the game experience. Now it's easier, since new colors are waiting to some matches are done :D
Thanks and may the Tri-Lizar'-force be with you! ;)

Hi @latrabili-noctu
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. All the music and sound were made by human voice :D
Very colorful and charming :)
If you can take a look at mine and let me know what you think :)

Well done :)
Well done :)

Hi @pandademic42
Unfortunatelly, I couldn't export the game into Mac neither HTML5. Sorry for that :(
Nevertheless, I will let you know if I buy a license to export the game into HTML5 ;)

Hi @silkworm-sweatshop
Thanks! I decided to do the game easier, so it's a bit hard to lose for now (running out of money by doing wrong matches). There're some ideas that couldn't be included during the Jam, like paying money to have the Café fixed, a mortgage payment, increasing salary for waiters, buying improvements, etc. Nevertheless, they will be implemented in the future :)

Hi @ed3187
Thank you! Then, I think it was a good idea to whistl :D

Hi @ian1337
Thanks! I tried to run yours but I watched you had some problems exporting the game. Please, let me know when it's available ;)

Hi @Sfey
Thanks for your comment. There's an option to be implemented that allows the wrong matchings be changed into love ones. Also, it will be possible to add new like colours to the angels/demons by drinking in the bar :D
Thanks for your comment! And also for your suggestions. It's planned having waitress going faster and also with some kind of memory about what the client told him earlier. But there're lot of things out of Jam scope. :D

Hi @Deborah-Soude
Thanks a lot! It's a mad idea... but I think it worked ;)
