Soup Stress

A button juggling game about making soup. Made in 3 days for Mini Jam 189.

Instructions shown at first launch and displayed on screen during game.

The game is meant to be hard at first, but it gets easier as you learn the controls. I wanted to add difficulty scaling but ran out of time. The number of ingredients per customer is random so a run with fewer ingredients should be easier but rewards fewer total points. 

Some Tips:

• Look ahead at other customers and save ingredients if you are waiting on something specific
• The punishment for missing an ingredient is less than a customer leaving so when in a rush serve a soup that isn't complete yet
• Customers asking for fewer ingredients offer fewer total points so take more time getting 3 stars on their ingredient
• Grab extra ingredients at the beginning before seeing the customers as you can always discard them with backspace/delete
