Two incompatible genres to be combinated. I was a bit scared at first, when I read about the final theme last night at 3:00am (Spanish Timezone). Nevertheless, my pillow gave me some ideas and I started to implement the one I liked the most (and also the most realistic to be done in less than 3 days).

Since my time is also limited and I cannot expend too much time on it, I will try to do my best. You can find my progress on my Twitter https://twitter.com/SiulerLM

I hope you're enjoying this JAM as I'm doing.

Good luck to all of you!!

I did it! I just published my first game in a JAM. By this morning, I was unsure about its publishing.

There's still lot of work to be done there, but this is just the beginning. I hope you enjoyed this experience of creating games and now, the one of playing them :)

My game is: Love and Hate in Hell Café - https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/love-and-hate-in-hell-cafe

What would happen if a café were opened between two lands in war? It's time to give Demons and Angels some love! Match an angel and a demon. Nevertheless, it's needed to keep in mind their colour likes and dislikes.

Two incompatible genres were combinated here: Restaurant Simulator + Puzzle. Although the most important incompatible genre combination is inside the game ;)

Unfortunatelly, I run out of time and I couldn't add too much details on it. But I will do it!

Thanks for playing!

Dear customers,

The nice blue spirits waiters (aka. cute blue seals) are very proud of announce some little fixes were done in our Atari-styled Café.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/love-and-hate-in-hell-cafe

Please, come and see the staff that was fixed: - New color demons and angel will wait until some matchings were done - Despite a matching has no success, the demon/angel will pay if liked the matching - Green demons and angel are paying double now! But pay attention, they will ask the double of money if something goes wrong... - Red ones pay x3, Blue ones x4, etc. - New messages were added to help players and for greetings

As a result of this, the paydays for the waiters are more frequent...

Yours sincery, SiulerLM

PS. How many angels and demons will live happier from now?

Since I received some comments from you after playing my game "Love and Hate in Hell Café", I realized that the blue spirits waiters really seem to be seals. What do you think about it?

Maybe I considered them as blue spirits, since the first-day graphics for them were really simple:

Nevertheless, 3 hours before the deadline, I was able to improve some of the graphics of the game and the blue spirit waiters became in this:

Which one do you prefer?

Those blue sp... seal waiters can be found working in the café where Angels and Demons are being seated next to do love (or hate) arise. Would you like to give a try to the game?

Thanks for playing and also for your comments and reviews! 😄

I'm back from the week I was ill and I got new energies to continue playing your games.

If you play and rate mine, I will do the same with yours :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/love-and-hate-in-hell-cafe

So, this is Love and Hate in Hell Café. It's a puzzle where different colored demons and angels need to be matched. Nevertheless, their color likes need to be kept in mind. The better is done, the most will be earned.

In this version is a bit hard to lose (but it's possible), since I wanted people enjoy the playing experience. There's a goal of 20 good matches, but the game can be closed before getting tired of it :D

There's lot to be done (graphics improvements, restaurant management, etc.) but the game is as I could implement in the JAM time (I did it alone in less than 20 hours). The final game play will be splitted in days with some objectives and money to be paid to the Café owner...

Here's an example of the evolution of the angels in the game:

JAM Day 1: JAM Day 2: JAM Last 3 hours: Comming soon...:

I hope you play my game, rate it and leave a comment there. Thanks a lot! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/love-and-hate-in-hell-cafe

Despite Jetty will be the only playable beast for this Jam, also BigBoot and Niessy will appear in the title screen.

How far do you believe in the Jetty? Keep its legend alive!

In the end, I was able to implement the game and to upload it on time. Moreover, I learned some stuff to be applied on further projects. I really enjoyed this weekend development experience.

I hope you also play and enjoy the game. Please, keep in mind that some stuff couldn't be implemented ;)

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

Thanks for the feedback you gave me yesterday. A new post-JAM version is being prepared and it will be available soon.

Some changes were done for now: - Fix on Sound ON/OFF icon display - Sound wave from the beast to have a better identified scope - Improved impact depending on the distance - The more time the beast waits hidden, the more impact will have its next appearance

Some work in progress: - Popularity maintenance - Minimum popularity range increases time by time - GUI changes - Another beasts will interfere and claim some popularity

And Niessy and Big Boots will be playable ;)

For now, the JAM version can be found here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/trending-beasts

Play in HTML5 is available!!

After all your support at the game entry, I decided to continue the implementation of this game after the game jam. As a result of this, a new version of the game has been released with some features and characters that weren't on time for the jam delivery.

It can be played on the browser, so there's no downloadable version for now.

PLease, give a try to both version if you wish and compare the evolution of the game. Again, I thank you all your comments and support.
