But it add stress on the task to fulfill the customer, so… why not.
Gameplay and visuals are very good ! congratulations!
Also, why did they order burnt chicken! XD
Well-polished entry for a jam game! Nice work!
With a few extra mechanics I can see this being one of those mini-games in open-world / RPG games. Quite polished also, even though keyboard controls are not really working and for some reason I can not make it full screen.
I liked that chickens and sheeps have different cooking times and walk with different speed. This really makes them feel different and not only as a texture swap. The idea of having to serve overcooked food on the third day is really awesome. This adds some surprising variety with a mechanic the player already some before! The sprites for overcooked chicken and sheep were a bit hard to differentiate though.
I played on a keyboard and the controls are indeed a bit weird. If you use X/C/V I would advice to also allow the arrow keys to be used instead of WASD.
Overall very cool entry!
