1882m, that was a fantastic game! It was quite the fry
Hi. I made a video with the best games in the GMTK 2024 and you game is included. Here's the link if you want to watch it:
As a pixel art fan, I find this game to be quite entertaining.
Amazing Game Had a lot of fun, played for about 26 mins, probably my new fav game
is it me or the game you need auto clicker and click any of the unfry items at least twice then you get a new round of items??? bug or ingame feature
Great game, had lot of fun playing it
came to the comments and just got mogged by everyone elses scores
fRRR
is this any good?
Congrats, I believe no one in our team has even been close to this height
HOLY SHIT
Highest score I’ve seen so far (I can’t get past 1200, and I’ve worked on this game ;-;)
wow!
I wish this game was competitive
Really fun, fun concept, and the presentation is really nicely executed! feels super polished.
Very nice concept! Hope you enjoy our submission to, Totem Rush
I think it's not bad))
Great concept, well executed. Some Audio bugs on browser.
Too hard for me but cool game!
wELL EXECUTED, A PRETTY GOOD CASUAL GAME.
tHE CONTROLS COULD USE A BIT MORE POLISHING AND MAYBE MAKE IT A BIT MORE ACTION BASED (SO FASTER OIL WHICH SLOWS DOWN IF YOU PLACE FAST) OR TURN IT A BIT MORE INTO TACTICS (SO MAYBE NOT MAKING FOOD ROTATE RANDOMLY AND MAKE THEM HAVE MORE "MASS") RIGHT NOW IT SEEMS TO BE NOT THAT MUCH ON THE ACTION NOR TACTICAL SIDE
niiiice
It's very funny :D , and honestly the sound makes me want to eat some crispy chicken. Its easy to understand and very entertaining. Good luck in the jam!
Really fun to play with a lot of re-playability. Good work!!
Awesome! The polish on this is great. Love the frying sounds and animation. We also did a tetris/platformer mashup!
An interesting idea!
I was so confused on how this fit the theme (Amazing game btw, I suck) until I read your notes. You quite literally build a stack, to scale it. nice
Man this is hard and really fun
what a lovely climb
Simple, fun, pretty
It's easy to see skilled developers do the job.
Simple mechanics, polished experienced, fun and cohesive gameplay, consistent art direction and style.
A very strong contender, I can see that in top positions for sure. I've enjoyed playing this game and would like to return from time to time to beat my own highscore.
grumpy Notes:
- you can grab items from the right even after game over
- It would be nice to have a little bit more control over food pieces. while it has it's charm it relies on grab position (center of rotation) and other items placement (to rotate the item). as physics after placement has it's own unpredictability, unpredictable food placement seems a little bit too random for my taste
Glad to see such cool games on the jam!
Don't forget to check other submissions too :many winks: ;) ! They are hungry for feedback!
I agree with this. Really fun concept, but the unpredictability keeps me from wanting to keep playing. I feel cheated by random physics too often. Improved placement controls would be really nice.
Usually I'm recommending to check our game... but... unpredictability... physics... Yeah, there are many other games to try 😅
Oh damn that’s a good score
final score
Come on guys, get geegaz another top 20! We can do this!
Heyo, thanks for the support but calm down 😭
I’m not the only one on the team and it would feel really bad to win just based on “fame”, there’s so many amazing games in this jam… please judge the game fairly and do the same for everyone else’s !
Fry, You Fool! Gameplay
A very fun game ! I really like the mix of platformer and tetris it feels nice. The shapes are fun to use, I like the chicken especially haha. The artwork is cute too.
