Do the Dishes Tomorrow by BangKerpow

[raw]
made by BangKerpow for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

Someday you'll do the dishes but today is not that day.

Objective You don't have to do the dishes as long as you can stack them. See how long you can go!

Controls Left Click on the counters (the red areas) to place a dish.

Tools Unity, Blender, Gimp

Special Thanks My son for the excellent fly artwork

I’ve decided that all the bugs in my game are intentional. Afterall, a very dirty kitchen is bound to have bugs.

I think is a good idea, but i found it a little buggy, because i could place dishes in the outside, al also in the wall and the dish disappear, so i could make a lot of score.

Anyways the idea is very good.

I liked how the the room progressed through various levels of filth as things stack up!

Real proper interpretation of the theme 👌 Nice visuals too. Agree with the above though, it was pretty easy to bug out and not lose. After I bugged it I wasn't even able to place dishes on the counter anymore, they all dropped into the void :P

Ha, very nice interpretation of the theme. Love how filthy it gets. The increasing sound of the flies and how the walls dirty up gets really uncomfortable after a while, in a good way. Nice game! Made me want to wash dishes.

This is really fun :) And funny as well. Awesome idea for a game that perfectly fits the theme! I had a lot of fun stacking the dishes, though in one of the playthroughs I had major freezes after I bugged out one of them by "throwing it out the window" so to speak. But anyway thanks for making my day a lot brighter with this!

:joy_cat: now, after this game, I will rate the dirtiness of the kitchen in %

What a cool idea, I'd never think of something like this! It looks good, and sounds good, plays well! There's an unfortunate bug that allows me to drop nothing and get points, but the main idea is super cool! Good job!

I liked that i got a bit of anxious when piling up the plates and dirty dishes. The progressing room getting more buzzy and dirty makes it really neat and stand out. I feel like i'm just trashing the place. Really iky feeling. xD good job

haha nice, looks like my friend's kitchen. There's a bug that seems to happen randomly 50% when the dishes don't appear. I reload and try again, and it usually works on second or 3rd reload. But otherwise, lots of fun. Love the smash sound. Dirtyness graphics are ace. Very realistic.

The idea is simple and pretty fun. I found same bug as Ismael Rodriguez. Overall a fun little jam game.

The pan's handle will stick out of the window when rotating, so that you can place the dish outside the window. Throw the dishes straight away so that you never have to wash it.

I've been so close to failing so many times! it's as if some natural force preventing me from doing the dishes now. Great game unique approach, love the concept!

Funny little game !
Although I had a bug at first were I could stack as many dishes I wanted because the model was not instantiated and didn't fall on the kitchen :smile:

Ridiculous idea :D. But I like the filth and flyes effect.
PS: I broke something - the dishes didn't left up in the game.

Quite a nice idea! This was a lot of fun, when it worked. Unfortunately I had the vanishing dishes issue quite often. That however did give me an opportunity to appreciate the way the counters get dirty and the increasing number of flies!

This has potential :)

This is a very creative and funny take on the theme. I like the uniqueness of this entry. Like mentioned by others when the game restarted all the dishes I tried to drop just disappeared but the count still went up. Still a nice entry and I really appreciate the theme! (Too many survival shooters/falling!)

I found a bug! And surprisingly, this was not a fly, nor a cockroach. After two bad plays, I started a third one, in wich I had only one plate on the screen, and after that nothing, but I could continue playing and gain points, without any risk of losing, because nothing can go down.
Ridiculous, and so, very fun idea. Oh, and good job, to you, but to your son too, the flies are very well!

I hit the same disappearing bug as others here on my second attempt. Also the performance tanked when that happened.
The dirtiness and flies were a great touch.
A nice entry. I got to 121%
