Hey everyone,

This is our ninth entry for Ludum Dare 54 titled “Greatest Sandwich” and we’re very proud of what we have accomplished! We made a Cooking Simulator Game, through which you will experience the perspective, workload and success of a street-food-vendor.

Kicked out of your parents house, you find yourself in dire need for some money. You don't know much, but you "Know how to make a goddamn sandwich!", you say to yourself.

You look around and gather your materials. It's time to make some delicious sandwiches.

:bread: :cheese: :tomato: :cheese: :bread:

We made a few levels and a tutorial, please enjoy them with as much passion as we made them with! As always have fun & thanks for playing :smile:

Best regards @nivbeth, @fis & @johncoffee

Perfect cooking game and nice UI :)
I would make collision easier though, if you miss the plate it just falls down and you have to start over.

@empyreans thank you so much for playing! The collision box for the plates was a little bit off - got fixed right now along with missing application of custom level and burn durations.

The cooking instructions are a little vague, do I need to bake every ingredient?

@tmpxyz & @nonigirl Thank you so much for your feedback! The only indicator was the visual appearance, so we added an additional indicator for clarification, which ingredients should be cooked (and fixed bug with applying the correct style to the progress bar).

Graphics are amazing, but the game is a bit hard to understand. It's really hard to understand that you need to cook the ingredients with the small icon (I understood that while writing this comment). Especially with the first tutorial where you just stack things without needing to pay attention to the tomato cook. I was then cooking only the bottom bread and fail the level without knowing why.
The randomness is also quite frustrating because sometimes (in more advanced levels with lots of ingredients) I have to wait for 30s for one that I need in both receipes. And then I don't have the others.
Also a bin could have been useful as I dropped ingredients accidently a few times.
Overall a pretty fun game, but definitely needs some tweaks.

Cool game, like a small version of overcooked :)
Easy to understand and nice mood!

Great game overall, the only thing that bothers me is the rng element, it happened way to often that I required a lot of one specific ingredient (for example I have three dishes waiting for bread) and that one resources doesn't come through in ages. Graphics and sounds are amazing and it looks very polished.

It's a fun game that brings back memories of playing flash cooking games on Kongregate. Also, I loooove that the main menu looks like a food menu. However:

[Where's the beef?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FZNYXKHwNw)

It does get a bit annoying when there's nothing I can do except wait for some beef that doesn't come.

Love the UI and art. Took me a bit to wrap my head around the controls. Once I did it did still feel like a lot to manage, so I ended up just taking it one plate at a time

Thanks for letting me play this! Excellent job! This needs a scoring category for "Stressful" rofl.

Here's the VOD on YouTube to watch the gameplay, just skip to your chapter on the video!

Timed solitaire with food!

Possibly one of the hardest cooking games I've ever played :skull:

Very original! :clap:

Aweome game! Feels very polished (i really like the menu animation). There's every thing i'm looking for in a jam, music that goes well with the game, a little bit of sound fx, nice art, some polish, fun gameplay. My only complaint is with the food tray, you can end up waiting for one stupid salami slice that never comes.

Great game!

A very fun and demanding game, I really enjoyed playing it. The hitbox for putting stuff into the pans should probably extend slightly lower - in particular, there shouldn't be a spot where you can click to pick something up, but where releasing drops it.

Well made game. The menu looks great and fits the game well. The cooking mechanic is simple enough to be easily understood. It didnt get too demanding (at least for as long as I played) but still was enough fun to go on. I'm not a huge fan of this kind of game but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Really fun and I liked the general vibe a lot. Great amount of polish for a jam game as well, good job!

This game is great! I was a bit confused at the beginning, as the customers didn't seem to be happy with my food (I oversaw the flame icon at the order) and it might have been nice to have some area (like a table) to store ingredients. For example, I was trying to put tomatos to the side, as I am not supposed to cook those and I didn't know they wouldn't get cooked if I place them on another ingredient. But again, great game!

Game felt really polished - the restaurant-themed menu was very pretty :) Only thing that got me confused was, is there no end to it? It seemed to keep going on after level 8 (unless I did something wrong 😅). Also, I think the conveyor belt should be a bit more balanced in its RNG, because even being patient and doing everything right, sometimes I would lose an order because an ingredient never arrived.

Nice realization of classic kitchen game. Good work!
