Butcher Blocks

Work at the butcher shop and clear lines to make sausages. Any sausage pays, but serving customer will earn you extra. You must earn $10 every day for the Boss to stay alive.

Customers will have their orders above their heads. To serve them, clear the same amount of lines in 1 drop. You can serve customers in any order. If customers get too impatient, they will leave. Too many unserved customers will start riots. Stay alive.

Features:

• Work gets harder every day :')
• Unique remarks from Boss every day, even depending on how you let him down!
• So many bugs you're violating health & safety codes
  • Customers will break into your workstation!
  • Sausages stuck in freezer walls??
  • Occasional dead dancing customers~
  • Not getting paid for all your efforts, but it's too fast paced for you to notice
• Nothing to spend your pennies on

Behind the Scenes

Everything by me. Most SFX sampled from slapping raw sausage on the cutting board. The goal was "farty". Dialogue sounds sampled from Tampopo and Repo: The Genetic Opera. Bell & door sounds sampled from Freesounds. Art done in Photoshop and audio in FL Studio. This project was for the purpose of learning Game Maker to see if I like it. I don't and I'm uninstalling immediately.

Tools used: Game Maker, Photoshop, FL Studio
