@megh-menghani good point, I've made sure to include a lil extra note to the instructions next to the download now :)
@chiara-sanviti thank you, and ah I see it now, we'll make sure to adjust that :)
Then I read the instructions on the page and still enjoyed the ride (even tho it was a bit more repetitive than I expected it to be). I like the fact that it's full of useless stuff that makes it feel like like a real game experience and not just a conjunction of game mechanics.
Tho a bit disappointed by the ending because the timer keeps running so I searched forever until I fell into the void and had to Alt+F4.
Still a really nice gem
I didn't really understand what I was doing and didn't manage to finish the game but I had a good time exploring the map and I loved the voice acting. I also discovered you can do prop surfing with the meat chunks :D I fell out of the map at some point and wasn't able to get back in. If there was a category for artistic value this would absolutely get full points from me.
1. Upgrade graphics a bit
2. Find some background music. freesound.org has great stuff
3. I could not pick up more than one thing. Need an inventory
4. Got lost in the dungeon, need some kind of bread crumb code
5. The cooking thing seems to be an after thought
Thanks for the game.
Still cool though, I do enjoy playing it as Doom for the first few minutes. (I was thinking maybe I need to kill like 50 in speed run to get that entrence fee... please add more tutorial stuff, it's confusing.
as for the other elements, I think those are a lil more of a preference and our lack of tutorials xD thanks for playing though
Yeah, I played it again. No musical background mood music. It would help.
Also, I needed to use taskmaster to kill your game so I could exit. You should have a default ESC key to leave the game at any time.
also... i loved the secret disco party happening in the sewers. what a gem
Nice little place behind the restaurant! :)
Otherwise it's a really fun idea, love the sound, style and gameplay is fun
