Do-Nut Stop! by Javid Ladhani

[raw]
made by Javid Ladhani for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

A little management game of a donut factory. Grab your dough from the middle of the factory, shape it, fry it, fill it, glaze it, sprinkle it and then ship it. Keep the loop going and reach your goals. Nothing ever stops in the factory as long as you have the money.

Deliver the donuts to the edge of the factory (The Big Donut) to cash in.

NOTE - We have discovered a bug were you can't buy certain units while not playing the game full screen. Please play the game full screen

Controls: You can buy workers from the UI by clicking and dragging the workers to their workstation. You can also reposition all your workers as much as you want.

S: Sell workers while hovering over them. R: Rotate workers while hovering over them. BackSpace: Reset Level N: Next Level (Cheat)

What a fun idea, and well executed! I do wish there was some audio feedback or music, but otherwise it was a nice game :)

The ideia is very nice. (tks for web version)
I'm impressed with the good ideas at Ludum.

But I have some opinions. I hope it is constructive: I think the help is taking up a lot of space on the screen. Treating money like $ is also not very cool for games (it looks like you need to pay something) switch to something more abstract.
A more cartoon vector style would combine more with the style of the game.
I hope I was constructive. Congratulations!

What a unique and fun concept :D Would have loved to play every level, but there seems to be a bug (or I simply missed something) - I can't grab the more advanced units, even if I have the money for them. Case in point would be level 2, where I completed the money task, but then could not finish the second one because I couldn't recruit glazers.

All in all though, extremely fun to play game! Would look forward to see more of it :D

@trexxak Thenka you for your feedback. We have not noticed this bug before apperently this happens when the game is not played full screen. For now we have updated the description with a note.

A clever idea and love the donut as the 'loop' :D Very impressive to get it done in the time we had!

Great animations on the worker and really fun when you're in the loop of managing them in the factory. Some more guidance on what to do or not do would be useful, I thought the burnt donuts were chocolate, haha. Good entry!

I love production line games. So satisfying. Nice work man. You should make this into a mobile game.

Great concept !
In level 2 i can't buy a glazer :(.
Anyway the idea is very original.
Congratulations for this entry.

Really cool game! I enjoyed the animations especially :) i was really bad at this game at first :P i think it could benefit from a tutorial. But great graphics, awesome level design, cool idea. Well done!
