FROGBERT: Road to Culinary Stardom by trmrddr
You are a frog with big dreams. As Frogbert, you start out with no possessions other than your stretchy tongue. But Hark! A chef hat floats down the river, and as you gain a hat, you gain a dream... To become the best culinary artist the world has ever seen!
Build your way up from nothing and advance your tools and recipes to become the next star in the culinary world.
This is our first Ludum and for a few of us, our first game jam. Hope you enjoy :)

Changelog: October 10, 2019, v0.1.2 - Fixed a bug where Frogbert eats his hat. - Fixed a bug where you couldn't move on the tile below the Combining Station. You can now combine from all angles! - Fixed a bug where you couldn't move on the tile below the Garbage Hole. Recycle without frustration! - Fixed a bug where Frogbert holds his mouth open always. - Adjusted lighting to make shadows easier to see so it's easier to know where to give food. - Adjusted movement speed a bit. Movement still isometric, though.

Nice job.
It's amazing seeing so much love for what's not just my first Game Jam game, but my first game that actually saw release (and first experience with Unity)! Our artists put in some serious work getting everything looking and sounding as nice as it does!
@kooshy
The movement's choppiness is intentional, but at least a bit more pronounced than intended. I *made* the game and still find myself tapping the arrow keys instead of holding them down. Turns out, making the player wait half a second between movements is probably a little too high for it to feel right, haha.
The music is fitting really well the overall mood !
It's a really nice entry !
*Edit : This is your first game jam ?? Congrats on the amazing job !*
Your feedback has been noted, we've talked among ourselves for tweaks and fixes to do that should make it a bit easier. Look forward to trying more games from you guys, thank you for a great LD :frog:
Man, the atmosphere is soooooo cute :green_heart:
The graphics are super cool, the upbeat music is really, _ really _ good and all in all the little world has something wholesome to it. The gameplay works really well, too. It's some kind of fun condensed single player Overcooked. As everyone has noted, isometric movement is really unintuitive. But that's okay, one can get used to that. Very nicely done game! The Toad King approves! :frog:
Hey so... the music was reeaaaaally good, like pro-grade kind of good.
The art is great too, although the view is a bit frustrating and makes the controls feel a bit confusing.
The game in itself is fun, cute and all. Also it seems to me that the take on the theme is a little bit far-fetched.
But it's nicely done, and just needs a litlle more polishing :)
Kuddos!
@entropy The music is actually done by my friend who works as a composer for a game studio! He was gracious enough to bless us with two short custom snippets of music. Your other feedback, like those of others, is noted but not much we can do about that now :sweat_smile:
Very impressive design though.
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

Hope you got some valuable feedback on your game and looking forward to seeing you next LD jam if I dont catch you before then! :D
