made by UnidayStudio for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

ld49-wide-cover-1.png

Feed the Queen is a Platformer game where you control a Queen's waiter that really struggles to keep her satisfied when it comes to food.

When playing the game, you'll have to find the appropriate food that the queen wants (according to the recipe in the bottom of the screen) and carefully carry the ingredients to the queen.

And you may ask...

But what's the challenge?

Well, your tray and the food are all physically simulated objects, so you'll have to take a lot of carry when moving around, otherwise all you efforts will be useless.

How to play?

Use W, D to move the character, A, D to rotate and SPACE to jump.

To grab your Tray (to carry items), press E. Same to release the items. You need to feed the Queen according to her recipe (bottom of the screen).

The Queen will eventually need to go to the bathroom and you'll have to take her! Get close enough and press E to carry the queen.

Have fun!

Muito bom hein Guilherme, curti muito, só senti falta de um pause ou botão para sair do jogo ou voltar para o menu depois que começamos o jogo, mas de resto ficou muito top, tu é mestre mesmo

Muito bom o game, cola que nem chiclete, as mecanicas de movimento ficaram bem desafiadoras pra mim que sou descordenado, mas deu up a mais no desafio, achei muito massa os grunhidos aleatoreos da rainha muito divertido.
Meus parabéns

Very funny and fun game! At first I thought "oh no, tank controls," but after about 10 seconds, it was clear that tank controls were the way to go. I especially liked the mechanic of the items in your tray jumping up with you whenever you jumped. Really solid with a lot of personality, great work!

Hello uniday Studio!
From the gameplays the game looks really cool! I tried to play but for some reason the game doesn't run, and it's weird because I use upbge.
It seems pretty satisfying to throw the princess into the lava.

That's some game we have. Game made with blender as engine this is just mindblowing)) Visuals are awesome, gameplay is fun and suiting for theme! Voiceover is great!

So much work and just few comments :( the game is well made! you need a better score, play and rate more games for feedback&karma! Funny how the queen likes to gorge herself on such junk food :pizza: I love pizza too

That art is sooo good! And it's great to support both languages. The control is a bit hard to get but overall it's a funny cute game

Amazing polish, I am really surprised this game only has 10 ratings. Submit it to some streams, post about it! The visuals are really nice. It seemed a little too hard to jump with food, but fun gameplay regardless. There is a typo in the control page, and you forgot to include that you could sprint! Overall great game, needs more publicity.

These graphics look super good! And the animations are also great. But unfortunately, that's all the good things I can say about this entry.

These levels are incredibly annoying. I'm worried this isn't a fair criticism, but these foodstuffs *REALLY* don't wanna stay still! I make the slightest movement, and then they just CAREEN off the tray. And that's when I DON'T have to make a jump; when I do, it's pretty much just luck whether or not the food lands back in the tray. For a game this difficult, I actually think there are too MANY levels here! The last level *alone* requires the playtime of an entire Ludum Dare entry in it's own right. However, I DO like that you don't NEED to bring the exact order to the queen, though you'll have to carry her to the bathroom more often.

Though it is impressive that you managed to make so many levels; especially after having to make an engine switch. I also like the menu/failure music, but the ingame ambience is a little too quiet, I feel.

So yeah, I spent in total roughly 2 hours on your entry, including writing this comment, and going back and actually finishing the game. Good job!

Found the game a little slow and frustrating to play, but I like the graphics and it felt very polished. Nice work :)

mhh, i dont like that the itch.io side asks for money. i know you can choose not to spend anything but i dont like the feel of it.

To the game: I like the concept! ([our game is quite alike](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/astronaut-gary-inc)). The controls are a little quirky -> you can only turn if you move forward.
I had to grin as i jumped the first time in the second level. The food flew through the air :D

Brilliant! Why doesn't this game have more ratings? I've spent a very happy hour playing through the first few levels, and this feels like something so polished it could be a full released game. The graphics are sensational for a weekend project, the animations smooth and the physics appropriately crazy and bouncy (and challenging!). I really like it, it kept making me want to retry the levels. It always felt like my own mistake (turning too fast, not planning my time etc). I'd compare it to a combination of games like Overcooked, Octodad, Fat Princess, to name a few. Really great stuff, hope you score well.
