Brain Burgers by joni-jarvinen

BRAIN BURGERS
Your service job in fast food could really come in handy in a zombie apocalypse! In Brain Burgers, you serve the eponymous tasty treats to ravenous zombies to delay the inevitable... which in this case is becoming zombie food yourself. Ironic, isn't it?

How to Play
- Get a raw brain from the freezer
- Put the brain in the frier
- Put the cooked brain on to the assembly counter near the frier
- Take a bun from the big pile
- Put the bun in the toaster next to the pile
- Put the toasted bun on the assembly counter
- Once there is a toasted bun and a cooked brain on the counter, wrap a burger
- Take the wrapped burger to the counter. The nearest zombie will come and take it
- You can also take the burger to the warmer behind the counter to store it
- Approach the warmer from behind to put a wrapped burger in it
- Approach the warmer from the front to take a wrapped burger out
The burger ingredients and wrapped burgers take up inventory slot 1. You can only have one item in that slot at any given time. Picking up another item drops the previous item on the ground.
The wrench takes up slot 2 and stays there for the entire game.
The frier and the toaster have a limited number of uses before they break.
If you interact with them while the required item is not equipped, you can repair them at any time.
You can also use the wrench to kill zombies.

- No more inventory slots. You can have just one item equipped.
- Wrench doesn't need to be picked up, you already have it at the start of the game. Attacking happens from different buttons than interacting with the machines.
- Zombies won't be spawning as frequently as before.
- Fixing machines needs you to only not have a brain or bun equipped. If you have brain or bun equipped when there are no uses left in the machine, the option is always to fix the machine.
Had a bug early on where my character started fixing a machine, got caught in a fix loop, and just continued fixing the machine until I reset

But, as mentioned above, I kept getting stuck in loops, early early on.
So I haven't been able to figure out what the gameplay feels like.
Either way, the humour seems great, the music was enjoyable (sound effects too!) and the level design was charming.
I regret that it was unplayable for me, but it looks like you all made a great game. :D
Good entry but it needs a tutorial. Good music and graphics.
