Hi! I am really curious how you made the dough expand like that technically. Is it just a constant circle where you adjust the polygons of or a spline or something? It feels really satisfying whenever it settles back again after pulling it out.
10/10
instructions unclear, accidentally made 100 million meter pizza (I discovered that using a touchscreen was the optimal strategy)
Great game!
I'm glad you liked it, but HOW???
hey congrats on being a winner! this game is chaotic and fun
just a note on my second playthrough i think i broke the game? not sure how but the pizza got so big that things stopped falling, even though the markers would keep showing up (they didnt go away so after a few minutes there was a giant laser beam coming out of the center of my pizza). it got to the point that the cursor started spazzing out like crazy and i ended up resetting somewhere in the several billions of radius
hilarious glitch aside, super fun and frantic! this game concept would go crazy as a mobile release
Haha! We didn't really playtest above a certain scale, y'know, because game jam.
I think the planets start passing through the pizza because their size doesn't increase while their gravity does.
The cursor spazzing out sounds like floating point errors that are expected to happen at this ludicrous scale.
Anyway, thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it. Releasing this for mobile does sound like a mighty great idea!
I love this little pizza kitten nightmare simulator
Wow, this radius is insane!!!
Too bad we didn't have time to add stars, nebulae and galaxies, because we totally wanted to!
The Best LOL XD... like the humor and the music XD...
A little tip for the player... it's better to knead the dough as round as possible, because the object will spawn in the largest radius, if you make the dough unevenly, it's hard to catch up from the side that is less developed... And if you don't extend too much one part of the dough, the progress will be slower
I'm glad you liked it, and this tip is spot on!
That's why we visualize the circle around the dough, to show you what your pizza should look like :D
Yes, but sometimes I got panic, and it becomes not circle lol XD
