The Snack Shack by Sarah

[raw]
made by Sarah for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

WELCOME TO THE SNACK SHACK!

I did all the art, design and code myself over the weekend! Sadly I got sick so I wasn't able to get as much added as I wanted since many hours of work went unused in the end!

HOWEVER, things worked out FAIRLY WELL!

Can you take the heat of the kitchen?

Now you've gone and made a food based game yourself! (You commented on mine in LD51) This was really unique, much more intermingled systems than what I did. It took me a second to figure out where everything was but soon you just get into the rhythm of serving up some coffee and ice cream! I like the isometric style you had going on, and I liked the added challenge of serving up to the right order numbers. It got a bit hard to see the order numbers sometimes because of the isometric slant, but that's just the style I guess. Great job and impressive coding skills!

Awesome game! felt very complete and well put together. Now if only I could purchase another grill - as soon as I added Deluxe burgers to the menu, EVERYONE FORGOT ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE apparently! Ha!

Oh cool, a cooking game! I have been enjoying cooking as of late and this was right up my alley! The menus took me some time to get used to, but it was a smooth sailing afterwards. The game looks really neat, those burgers look delicious! Great job on this one!

Love the vibe on this. The light music in the background in perfect! Pretty detailed for a short amount of time, good work!

very good vibes, its like overcooked without the moving aspect,

btw I have no idea where the bag is so after a while in sandbox mode this is what I got :laughing:

I think I won

@jag Before this jam even started I wanted to make this idea, so it worked out nicely when the theme was something close enough haha. I wanted to have more complexity with grabbing ingredients to fill the machines before you could use them but I ran out of time (of course)

@edenic666 I didn't really get a chance to properly make a tutorial like I hoped, so it's definitely a bit confusing at the start haha

@aivaxela Apparently Deluxe Burgers are where it's at, which makes sense really :P I actually had wanted to have all the burners on the grill be available but I ran out of time and we only ended up with one

@sodoj I also love cooking games and my main game that i'm working on is also about food, so this was a nice little side project haha. I'm pretty bad at UI/Menu layouts in general, but I'm always trying to improve \o/

@cmdpancakes I have a lot of art details that were meant to be more interactable and just ended up being background haha, but it worked out

@jaydubbyasee @daganglyghoul thanks for playing!

@velvetlobster I'm actually not sure HOW you managed to do that haha BUT to get the bags to appear you have to add something to your menu with the Edit Menu button. And when you get an order, a bag will appear on that counter to fill!

Thanks for playing everyone!

Nice game, very well made. I wish i would be able to run a machine before it running out of items available though

Nice little game. Why not allowing to deliver the wrong order and get some penalty? :sweat_smile: And it would be nice to make more than one burger at the same time (or did it wrong). :smiley:

Great game! Really enjoyed the art style and had fun playing it. Tried the "hard" mode, but found it a bit stressful instead of hard. Overall, great job!

Super cute game! Love the aesthetic. It was fun to try all the machines :)

I got confused in the beginning about what was going on. The hints helped, but I still needed to reset the game because I put 3 things on the menu I couldn't even afford to make.

I feel like there's a lot of potential here! Maybe it would help if you limited what's on the menu initially to what can be afforded and unlocked the other machines with the money that you earn. That would also create some motivation to get more money. If you added a simple timer on each order it would create a sense of urgency too.

I noticed a bug where after I pick up something, if I try to pick up something else it will cause me to drop the item I was holding wherever my cursor was, but not let me pick it up again.

Anyway, great job! :)

Wow that was a hectic game, I was so stressed even on easy mode 😅 But that's not a bad thing! This was a very engaging game, which felt good to play. The menus were a bit confusing at first but I quickly got the hang of it. The art is great. The music is pleasant, which was a nice contrast to the hectic nature of the game. Awesome work overall, I really enjoyed it!

Really great vibes - I think allowing the player to mess up orders would do wonders to make it more involved, but I enjoyed serving up orders nonetheless. Good job!!!

Cute graphics, fun organizational elements, nice music. It might be less overwhelming to at first start slow and build up to proper kitchen chaos. In general I dislike games about making money, but this was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. Great work!
