Cleopatra's Pizza by Maxnanas

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

Using her smartphone, Cleopatra ordered a pizza (did you know that Cleopatra lived closer to the invention of the smartphone than to the building of pyramids?). The delevery boi of the Pizza Time company warms up his time machine and runs to make the delivery. Unfortunately his time machine breaks leaving him stuck in an infinite time loop, condemned to indefinitely run among the ruins of ancient Egypt to deliver the precious pizza.

I love the fact it look like a old game but with more modern lightning and view distance, feel modern and nostalgic the same time ^^
Fun, beautiful and very smooth gameplay well done ! (oh music is great too :D )

The programming was good, the music was good. The game play was just a bit too twitch for me.

Well done, you have a fun game, but sometimes the camera gets bogged down.

Really fun entry! It moves well, the art is good and the gameplay is solid. I felt like sometimes my character wasn't jumping when I wanted, if it's not already in there maybe some coyote time or input buffer would be good, if it is you might want to be a bit more generous. Good job!

I suck at it
Love the graphics, love the details of the ingredient falling out of the box every time you turn
I feel like the camera angle prevented to anticipate most of the holes (yes i'm finding excuses to why I suck at this)
Nevermind I replayed and jumping often solves this.

Yay I don't suck at this anymore \o/
Only thing it's missing is sound design

I got 556 points, yay! :-) I really liked the graphics and gameplay. It was nice that you could immidiately try again by pressing space. The art style is great and the ancient egypt is really cool. I think the music did not fit the egypt theme and the very long fade out for the music did not fit very well as the music was looping anyway. Also there were no any sound effects. I would have been so radical and would have made few sound effects for jumping and dying with ChipTone and remove the music. Also the map was little bit weird as it was floating in the air. The game would have been more immersive if the environment would have been little bit more "realistic". But however this is really nice entry and I enjoyed playing it. It looks and plays very good.

It was a realy beautiful game with a vintage style, I love it !
Maybe the only missing thing is the sound fx, you can add fx when jumping or landing and it should be perfect.

Really fun game!

The music was really catchy ^^ I also like the graphics a lot. The level looks really great and the ingredient splashing effect after jums was fun.

Only thing I would like to see gradual increasing difficulty. It's quite hard to get a hang of the game, since you are running quite fast from the beginning. Maybe you could slowly increase speed. Another option would be to start with only few obstacles that increase in frequency.

All in all great entry :)

Liked the visuals and the music choice. I did feel as others have mentioned that the low FOV and intense camera tilting during the turns made it a little too disorienting. Being able to see better, as well as have a variable jump height, would allow the player to better plan their route, which would also give the game a more strategic component.
Fun interpretation of the theme!

Realy nice graphic and music, love this style.

The camera needs to be improved, I would like interpolation and a higher view. It also lacks more fluidity in movement. If you hit the wall, then the score will continue.![55.png](///raw/b3e/04/z/5bac8.png)

The music is a banger! I like the visual style of the game, lots of fun details in here. I will say, the one thing about the game I think needs a little more tender love and care, is the movement. You start blazin' fast and the way the camera moves didn't really give me a sense of control. I was eventually able to get my bearings and found there's a pretty fun and crazy world in here.

Great game ! I'm impressed by the whole style consistency, the music is nice, it's a good idea ! It takes a bit of time to get used to, and it could be polished by having a difficulty that starts low and increases during the run.
