Nice concept, loved the art and music. My big gripe with it is how sensitive throwing is, it was way too easy to throw way over their heads. I ended up turning my mouse sensitivity way down so I could consistently toss things to them and was able to win that way.

Fun game! Having to memorize some of their preferences got pretty difficult but was a good progression in the game. Sometimes the physics of the throw was hard to understand, but once I got used to it, it wasn't too bad.

Love the art and it wasn't until in the middle of the game that I noticed the art for the friends have the style that they look hand-drawn!

Love the art and music! Great game really enjoyed it!

I enjoyed the game a lot! The flinging mechanic didn't always work for me but when it did it was really satisfying! I also enjoyed the concept and felt like I really know these characters by the end like they were my "regulars" here for their usual order :) I always had a hard time with the guy who keeps wanting the corn and then the eggplant. I found it super hard flinging the eggplant from the left when he's at the right half of the screen.

Anyway, had a super fun time with the game, thank you for making it!

Great gameplay and arts 😀 the throwing system is not so easy to handle and sometimes it's a bit frustrating, it adds a bit of tension to the game!

Oh my gooosh! The art is soooo cute I'm so in love with it! I also like the music.
Really nice and simplistic game, brought a smile to my face after a long day!

I love the vibe of this game, it's so relaxed! I often found that I'd throw the veggies too far, so that kinda contributed to the chilled-out vibe too by encouraging slowing down. The art and music is really nice as well. A few of the veggies did get stuck on the sides/top of the screen when I tried to throw them, but it wasn't too big of an issue. Nice work!

Such a cute little game. Lovely vibes. The artist did a terrific job with the designs, and the visuals in general. The music also really helped setting up the mood to be so cosy and warm. I don't really have any actual constructive comments to make, because I think the game did perfectly all that it set out to do. It was quite polished also, I didn't encounter any bugs, which is rare for an LD game. Good job everyone! :clap: :clap: .

That's one cute game, the gameplay is a bit too simple for my taste, but what a nice looking game. Really great joob!

The art and music are so great, the fling mechanic also makes it more interesting compare to simply dragging items on the customers. Noice job.

Best art I've seen so far! I felt like I was back in pokemon go trying to throw the pokeballs :(

This was a super cute game! I loved it :D I agree with others that the flinging was a bit sensitive, and that it was a bit too easy to throw the vegetables way over peoples heads. That said, I really loved the idea of flinging the vegetables and the little mini memory game that was going on. I am always really bad at memorizing things, so I appreciated that I could try a few times without immediately losing XD
The art and music made the game feel super cute and lovely. Super nice submission! Very well done :D

A cute little game, I loved it. The art and music are awesome. The gameplay was fun and a bit chalenging to throw tomatoes and onion since they were above the line. Overall a great game. Good job!

Great game. A few minor inconveniences within the mechanics, but nothing too bad (especially for a jam game).

The art was charming as all-get-out, the concept was good, the sound was pleasing to the ears. My one complaint is that the fling mechanic was a little finicky.

Remembering three intertwined "simon-says"-sequences is pretty fun, wish it would have focused more on that. The flinging just kinda gets in the way.
