It's Pizza Time!

Fun game Snow! For feedback I'd say the big thing was the timing on the orders, there were a few orders that took the full duration to reach, not leaving time for simultaneous orders

@thestoff yeah a lot of this came from feedback from previous LD games where I would clamp the difficulty to something more reasonable, and the feedback was that the game eventually became boring as you would just continue to play forever with the game never getting hard enough to cause you to lose. With this instead I just ended up making a kind of "high score" style game where I continue to ramp the difficulty up until it basically becomes impossible to continue. Unfortunately, I don't think that comes across well leading to a difference in expectation. The game is supposed to essentially be "how high of a score can you get in 10 minutes" because the difficulty will always ramp up to the point where it should be basically impossible to continue playing. But because this happens relatively fast, It just very quickly starts to feel unfair rather than feeling like, out of control, ramping difficulty.

I actually played for way longer than I expected. I think the style and music really contributed to an engaging lo-fi/vaporware sort of vibe that I got sucked into.

I do think the "increasing difficulty" format is a good fit for jams and am guilty of going that route every time. You're right on the balance issues but I think you were very close to hitting the mark - it's a little slow to start and then gets too hard once you get into a flow but I still enjoyed the time I spent with it. Nice work!

the soundtrack is really cool :) i love that..gameplay is a bit hard to master but a nice little game.
i see you got danger category..and i saw too late..damn...

@tomatolamp Thanks! It was definitely an interesting project, yeah difficulty is hard. If it doesn't ramp up fast enough people don't really notice the change in difficulty. It's a hard thing to balance for sure.

@neowhoru Thanks! Yeah I went back to work and just stopped having the motivation to play more games than I did which has become a huge problem for me the last few Ludum Dares.
