If the only thing I can crtiticize is that you cant grab a plant when clicking in the middle of tiles, you know you did well ^^
Overall, great game. Good work!
The music is cozy, the graphics are fitting. I'm impressed that most things are animated.
The sound effects are funny and sound like you've made them yourself (instead of using some generator like sfxr).
During my first run, I managed to serve exactly 0 drinks lol.
My mistake was related to the fact that I didn't get the placement requirements for some reason.
When I started a second run, it all became clear to me.
I still didn't manage to serve every single order even on the first level.
It looks like this game requires some fast fingers and/or a good mouse; I played it with my touchpad and it wasn't easy. :D
One thing I wish was implemented is an auto-open for the crusher. It feels like an unnecessary chore to open it up after every use. I get the crushing part, but not the "open after use" part. (i.e. I want to do a down move, but not up-down action).
Overall, it's a polished game with neat mechanics. It's my understanding that you're using a small field and placement requirements as a theme interpretation.
Extra points for making this game playable from the browser.
Also, thank you for playing my game. :3
I hope the sound effects were as fun to make as they were to hear
I agree with @quasilyte about the opening of the crusher. I realised that it is not needed to open the crusher to add the ingredients however my brain kinda needs it :sweat_smile: .
Also I had the feeling that the time of the cabbage being ready and the time being able to pick it up is slightly of, but I am not sure about that.
Great job!!!
But about the game, what a charming game with quite relaxing mood. I like the juxtapose of relaxing music and hectic task of filling orders. It took me a while to understand how all of the parts work but when I got going it started to feel pretty easy.
Overall, a very solid and polished jam game!
Overall I think the game is fantastic, it looks polished and complete, graphics are perfect, gameplay is carefully crafted. Don't have anything bad to say about it. Maybe if you put it out there outside of jam, would be nice to add info on gameplay/controls in the game itself, like a "how to play" in the main menu, for example :3 Also, the slime is super cute! ^^
I liked that they fit to the garden as tetris pieces, makes you think about every little space and plan ahead and run full capacity.
One thing I had trouble with was I put a wrong fruit in the juicer but I couldn't take it out before pressing it. Unfortunately I had to squueze it but it was the wrong order with the wrong fruit and I had to dump everything in the compost which made me lose time and the level. Maybe we should be able to trash things before juicing them (be able to take things from the juicer before pressing)
Other than that, I loved everyting. Well done!
Sometimes the orders seemed too hard (I assume they are random?). I hade one that required 3 lettuce/cabbage (I just ignored that guy...).
Wanted to ask for score chasers if you were fine with me playing some gameplay of your game in the background in the waiting period / intermission. In the waiting period its going to cycle between gameplay of a bunch of different games in the background (with music from games in the jam playing as well)
It's super addictive and loads of fun. You've nailed it !
Very good puzzle game :D
The graphics and music were delightful, overall just a lovely experience. Thanks for sharing!
