Fun game and a unique take on the theme. I enjoyed the music and kept switching between both songs!

Adorable art, loved hosting a party for all my animal friends! Would love to have seen what you would have done with more time, but great work in getting this done in the short time!

Amazing pixel art! Amazing chiptune! I am aiming for sound and graphics like this game. It was very informative.

This was really good. You got the theme pretty well and the game was easy to figure out.

This was such a cute game. I helped out all the animals and they had the best party ever. The graphics were amazing and you did very well with the audio too. I just wish there was more to play because I was having fun, but that's a game jam for you! Great work!

This was a cute little game. Even though you didn't get as far as you wanted, it was really good and fun to play. Love the art style and the music. Really nice work!

I love Pico-8 style games, and yours is no exception to that rule :D My favorite part was finding a CPU in the trashcan, that is usually the place where I store mine at home as well. (If I am not using them to cook my meals on)

Only remark I can give is something you already know yourself: I want to see more guests arrive :D Very well done.

The game left me wanting more, so that's a really good sign. I didn't find any bugs or have any issues with my playthough. I loved the art and audio.

There's definitely something there.  Impressive music and sound effects you've created.  Art fitted the atmosphere of the game just fine.  It's difficult to say more given that you ran out of time.  But I feel like the elements are there for a good game, if it's fleshed out.

If you do get a chance to finish the game post-jam, let me know.  I'll play it again and give you more useful feedback.

Ah..so cute! I had fun playing the game. Cute characters and nice music too. Although I did take some time to figure out what to press to actually start the game.

Good game, funny and include Cappibara.... you are the winner of the JAM!!

Really cute game! I love that the guests are animals <3 I was thrown when I saw the capybara, so cute! Very interesting use of the theme, great job on the game! :)

Cute, didn't expect the guests to be animals.

Such a wholesome game, I really liked both the capybara and penguin guests and the fact that this was made with PICO-8.

I'm also in the jam, and I know with more time everyone has a list of things they'd like to add or wanted to add. I try to provide the listed feedback in a constructive form to highlight different perspectives as a player and to show that I indeed did play the game.

  • I am unsure if there is a time crunch when answering the door.
  • The game could be close to those restaurant cooking games where you have to balance getting the item to the player versus answering the door.
  • Took me a second to realise that I think I need to start the music to start the game
  • I went to use the mouse when the game loaded initially to click "Press to start", lol

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Yeah, I did want to make someting akin to the restaurant games. As it stands, there's no way to actually lose this game, so there's no real challange other than figuring out the tasks the guests want you to do. There were some other comments on the controls so I know to figure something out about that in the future!
