Get Baked! by Budaniel

[raw]
made by Budaniel for LD 41 (JAM)

Help Peppy the green pepper get baked in this arcade shooter/cooking mashup. Dodge sawblades, knives and more on your way to the oven door. Gingerbread man and his clones are always seriously mean to Peppy, setting up traps between him and bakedom, but don't let him stop you - baking awaits!

WASD/arrow keys to move, left mouse button to burn gingerbread cookies with your pepper spray. Your goal is to get into the open door of the oven while falling. Don't hit the floor, shelves, or other hazards or you'll be turned into finely diced pepper pieces.

NOTICE: To play after the intro cutscene, press escape to bring up the button to start the game.

Finished it - peppy was well and truly toasted :smile:

I especially liked the voices and the music. Nice one!

Liked the humor, and the art wasn't too bad! The controls were a little hard to use though, my mouse sensitivity was very low and it was hard to turn to face the gingerbread men. Funny though!

@ryan-michaels That's a very good point - I was programming using a mouse with its speed/DPI tuned up, so I scaled mouselook to match. It didn't occur to me that it wouldn't scale back well.

Couldn't get past the intro. Game crashed - this happened all the time.

It's a diamond. Insanely funny game, I really liked it.Stylish graphics and great music. Try to do this for VR it will be a bomb.

Found a bug - black screen after the intro video, but if you press esc, you can play.

I would be very glad if [you rating my game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/last-stand-1) too:mag:

Ok, after a long time i realized what was the goal haha

Fun little game, needs more clarity, and camera sensitivity should be adjustable (i see someone complained it was too low, mine was too high)

Very funny voice acting haha

This was pretty cool. I love the start menu and intro cutscene. They lack music though. Was a bit surprised to see music and sound effects in-game but not in the intro. I understood the game and controls quite fast, and it was quite fun.

I don't really have any complaints except for the audio thing. Good job!

It take me a while to realize what to do, but I got the idea! I wish it had more cooking games elements, as more cooking steps or ingredients.
Good Job

The title itself got a good laugh out of me. When I started playing it i realized that it actually has some good mechanics and fun design. I didnt like Pepper's voice and the fact that you cant skip level introduction every time you die but other than that it's good fun, great job :)

Since you are clearly skilled let me know what you think of my own game :)

I played and finished the two levels! After smashing into the top of the oven the first time, I was always very stressed zooming into the oven at the end (and delighted when I succeeded). I liked the little voice, but I couldn't tell what it was saying at all. I also liked the sound effects, especially during the level intro.

There didn't seem to be any benefit to spraying the gingerbread men, and going for them just made me smashed, so I ended up ignoring them.

In Windowed Mode, the start level button after the comics intro was too low on the screen. It took me three restarts to realize that button wasn't there and the game hadn't crashed.

I took some time to figure out what I had to do, but when I got it I found really fun. I just missed more challlenges, like other ingredients to drop and traps in the level.
Interesting idea! With some improvements can be a really good game.
