Gameplay was good albeit a bit buggy. I was matching plates (even their favourites) but some of them just kept getting hungrier! Another thing I noticed is that I could grab a plate and move it around the whole game area to shift any other plates to where I wanted them. Don't know if that's a bug an inbuilt way of easily getting massive chains though. Music was very nice & fitting, although it didn't loop. Graphics were great. Overall though I had a lot of fun with the game. Good job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"LordMiji","author_uid":"1000096","time":"2017-12-05T06:27:07Z","epoch":1512455227,"modified":1512455227,"text":"Thank you for your feedback, no the mechanic was not made clear, but one turn is one mouseup event so make it count :) it was a design choice to allow everyone to play around with the game. I originally had a timer per turn but it felt too restrictive.\n\nAgain, thank you for your feedback! :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Octopal","author_uid":"1060247","time":"2017-12-05T07:16:46Z","epoch":1512458206,"modified":1512458206,"text":"Love the art and general feel!

The soundtrack was great and the graphics were pretty good, too (though it was a little hard to easily tell the dishes apart). There were a few points where my mouse was disabled, causing an animal to leave, and it was difficult to level up or satisfy an animal, but overall, I liked the idea and it was a good game.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"PeachTreeOath","author_uid":"1006470","time":"2017-12-11T07:20:24Z","epoch":1512976824,"modified":1512976824,"text":"I this the puzzle & dragon mechanic? I haven't played it myself but I guess that's what that's supposed to be. Nice take on the match-3 genre, I haven't seen one that does something quite like yours. Really good creativity here and the whole package feels good since you tied all the animals to it. The otter sprite is amazing btw, and all sprites are impressive in general. One thing I feel like matching games really need to hone in on is the juice. I know you had some with the scoring and animations, but you can really go far with some of the flashiness that the others have. I totally get that there's only so much time for features, but that might be something to consider prioritywise in the future. Nice game and great innovation!","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld40\/50009-107252c496e1f1f073ad51e23a529b37.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/ojmzdtishfarc7p\/LD40_PandasPicnic.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/wxrvdpn9r9smcm3\/LD40_PandasPicnic_PATCHED.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"48564","g_author":"1000096","g_event":"LD40","g_eventkey":"70","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"231446","g_title":"Pandas Picnic","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"7","g_site2_node_id":"50009","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"50009","n_urlkey":"231446","n_parent":"49883","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/40\/pandas-picnic","n_slug":"pandas-picnic","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"96","n_created":"1509919740","n_modified":"1512510543","n_version":"199043","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":50009,"parent":49883,"superparent":9,"author":96,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-12-04T17:17:02Z","created":"2017-11-05T22:09:00Z","modified":"2017-12-05T21:49:03Z","version":199043,"slug":"pandas-picnic","name":"Pandas Picnic","body":"Join Panda and his friends for a lovely picnic.\n\n**Note:**\n\nThere is no end game conditions, so play until you have satisfied your curiousity.\n\n**How to play:**\n\nPandas picnic is a match 3 puzzle game, just match up the plates to feed the animals :)\n\n**Technical Issue(s):**\n\nSome people were having trouble getting past the splash screen, This has been patched.
