Honestly was an amazing game, and it's evident from the great reviews. The gameplay was just super funny and didn't get boring becuase of the amazing art, the way you made the game feel fluid and not sluggish as many other games are. And kepeing the tone goofy and cartoon/ anime like.
The intro and outro usic was fantastic and loved the composition. It worked so well with the game and instantly made it a hit. The cute and goofy background sounds also helped keep the game fresh throughout the play through. Even liked the way taht you need to figure out hat you can lift and throw boxes and the batteries in order to attract/ distract the ramen bowl, gives the player a sense of proudness and skill, and also helps keep the hunt for the batteries entertaining.
There are two main glitches that I found in the game; one was at the very beginning; I walked into a tree whilst looking straight down at the character model's shadow and the inverted my controls somehow. I was able to restart the game and fix that, but thought you might like to know of this.
The second bug isn't technically a bug, but it's the way I beat the game. I was able to lure the ramen bowl outside of the shop and collect and deposit multiple batteries before it returned. So a area restriction for the ramen bowl might be in your interests unless this 'bug' was intended. If it was, it's a pretty cool small thing for the players to find out.
An overall amazing, great game. My only suggestions would be to make the ramen bowl a tad bit more aggressive so it's a little harder. But yes, the easiness of being able to outmanoeuvre the ramen bowl is what makes the game as fun as it is.
Sorry for the super long comment, but it was an amazing game and cannot wait for Part 2 (And maybe a potential anime spinoff?) Take care and good luck to you all!!
Heya, first of all thank you very much for the video and the bug report. I simply didn't think of the second one. That really shouldn't happn. :) I will fix that.
Thank you especially for the comment about the game's feeling. :D I always try to make my games as fluid as possible. This time I used a lot of cutscenes and was really scared it might bring the game to a crawl. I still need to include an option to skip those though...
He will become more aggressive in future episodes, for sure. :) Not sure I should increase it in this episode though. I absolutely get you. I am able to outrun him with ease, myself. Though I saw a lot of people already struggling a bit with the way he is right now. It's really tough to find the right balance :D
No, no. I am super grateful for the long comment! :) Thank you very much. I would love an actual anime for this. Though, I doubt it well ever happen, unfortunately.
Randomly found this game, saw the psx style graphics and the overall premise and thought it'll be fun. Boy was I in for a ride, unsure if the developer is Japanese or not but it definitely nailed the random and weirdness of Japan all in this game. I think there is nothing that can prepare anyone when playing this game so I implore you all to check it out!
Hahaha, thank you very much! :D No, we both are not japanese but might have seen too many animes I feel, haha. Thanks a lot for the video and the kind words. <3
I sadly cannot play this game because I have a Mac (I'm also the worst with horror games that involve running), but I wanted to comment to say that I absolutely LOVE the aesthetic of this game. It reminds me a little of LSD: Dream Emulator.
Ahh that's great news, thank you for letting me know! I know you're working hard on updates/the next episode right now, so I will wait patiently for whenever this comes out :^)
This was absolutely amazing. The intro song blew me away, and I love the overall style of the game. Gameplay is straight forward, but still oddly frightening. My only issue was that the controls suddenly inverted at one point, but I was still able to play and beat the game! Looking forward to episode 2!!!
Thank you very, very much! :) The song is licenced though, but the opening animation is done by us. :D That bug will be gone with the next update, i promise.
Yea that is a nasty little bug. Will fix that in the next version. Thank you very much for the video and yea... it is a bit heavily inspired by DBZ, I admit it. :D
My expectations for this were far exceeded! Played the original demo a while back and was very pleased with this new addition! Can't wait to play the next Episode! Second game in the video! :)
OH I'M BACK for more Tasty Ramen! Hilarious and scary mixed together in one big steaming bowl of broth. There are bugs, maybe intentionally? I overwhelmed it by the end
YOUTUBER: Maya, The Bubble E1 (Subscribe today to keep ramen gone cold away! :D)
I really enjoyed playing this game on my CRT at 240p. Unfortunately all text in the game is cut off on the left. Not sure what your plans are as far as supporting lower resolutions go, but I still had a blast getting chased by demonic ramen haha!
SO CUTE!! <3 i'm really looking forward to episode 2!! :D one issue i had though, was when I walked on top of the bench in front of the store, as soon as i stepped off, the controls had been switched (s=forwards, a=right, etc.) I don't know why that happened exactly, but I had to restart the game :( anyways, looking forward to the next episode!! :)
Thank you very much! :D Yea that is a nasty little bug. I still haven't fully figured out what happens. I do have a few lines in place that should avoid this, but somehow they don't :/ Must be me forgetting a thing. I will fix it for the next update :)
For some reason I can't record the game I tried with 2 recording softwares and non of them worked, you don't even have to help me with that, Thank you for making the game.
Episode 1 was pretty good. The layout of the map was pretty well done. The art style is very appealing. Had no issues with bugs/glitches, and the gameplay loop is fun (especially trying to do it as fast as possible). My only complaint was the difficulty. The lack of punishment for getting caught kind of drained the fun tension the game had up to my first time getting caught. I look forward to future episodes of this one.
First of all: Thank you! :) I know what you mean, however it was a choice for me between making it less punishing or risking to make it frustrating. Mainly because i didn't find a better way. I decided to not risk frustrating the player, even if it means to destroy some of that tension. I hope I find a better way in the future.
The animations/intros were nice better than most indie games, there were a few bugs. It was a bit short, I felt like it should've been around a 20+ minute experience but you know that is just my opinion. Still fantastic game, can't wait for Episode 2! Also I enjoyed the vibrant colors.
Thank you very much! :) I am still working on it so it might get a bit longer. Even if not though, episode 2 is going to be longer. This one is more a short introduction into the game itself.
man, the game impressed me on one level, after I saw the opening I couldn't believe it, a ramen game has this quality, I recorded it if I want to take a look
I beat the game in under 5 mins lol. Here is a speed run trick. Find 9 batteries and throw them into the room where the A/C is. dont actually enter room until you found 9 batteries and then after you have the amount of batteries in the room just start throwing them into the A/C. the ramen never goes into the room unless you go out to the front of store.
I'm so hyped for future episodes! I loved the intro, end credits and music. The gameplay is enjoyable and the art is awesome too! I was going to say I wanted Tasty to be more challenging, but you've already updated that this morning so well done!!

Thank you very much and thanks for making a video! :)
I sadly cannot play this game because I have a Mac (I'm also the worst with horror games that involve running), but I wanted to comment to say that I absolutely LOVE the aesthetic of this game. It reminds me a little of LSD: Dream Emulator.
I plan on porting the game to mac and linux as soon as episode 1 is done :)
Ahh that's great news, thank you for letting me know! I know you're working hard on updates/the next episode right now, so I will wait patiently for whenever this comes out :^)

I Loved the game especially the anime intro and it was a lot like an episode of DBZ but my controls swapped during the game
Yea that is a nasty little bug. Will fix that in the next version. Thank you very much for the video and yea... it is a bit heavily inspired by DBZ, I admit it. :D
My expectations for this were far exceeded! Played the original demo a while back and was very pleased with this new addition! Can't wait to play the next Episode! Second game in the video! :)

Thank youuuuu! :D And yes... of course the bugs are intentional... I will shamelessy use your video as a bug report, thanks for this! x)
Thank you very much! :D
Here's a video of this awesome game I did in 240p cause I love low poly model games.
It is really cool to see it look like it actually would have back in the day! :D Thanks again for this! <3
Haha no problem! glad you liked it :D
I really enjoyed playing this game on my CRT at 240p. Unfortunately all text in the game is cut off on the left. Not sure what your plans are as far as supporting lower resolutions go, but I still had a blast getting chased by demonic ramen haha!
Thanks. :)
The first demo version was playable in 4:3. However I ditched it, because I ultimately decided to go for player convenience first here.
Totally understandable, who even plays in 4:3 anymore?
Wow really great job. I didn't expect to see updates to this game, but i am pleasantly surprised .
Thank you. :) Yea I took a short break from it to understand where it was going. Now I have a storyline and a few cool ideas ready.
SO CUTE!! <3 i'm really looking forward to episode 2!! :D one issue i had though, was when I walked on top of the bench in front of the store, as soon as i stepped off, the controls had been switched (s=forwards, a=right, etc.) I don't know why that happened exactly, but I had to restart the game :( anyways, looking forward to the next episode!! :)

I haven't played, but this picture is beautiful
Thank you! :)
10/10, Best ramen experience I've ever had.
Haha, thank you very much! :D
please tell me with which engine you used to make this game, hope it`s unity
Yup, it's Unity.
For some reason I can't record the game I tried with 2 recording softwares and non of them worked, you don't even have to help me with that, Thank you for making the game.

Ah, dang it. Totally forgot about that... Thanks! :D Will fix that in the next update.
I'm so hyped for future episodes! I loved the intro, end credits and music. The gameplay is enjoyable and the art is awesome too! I was going to say I wanted Tasty to be more challenging, but you've already updated that this morning so well done!!
Thanky you so much! <3 :D I am really glad you enjoyed it, and yes there are going to be a few updates for this before I start working on episode 2.
I love this so much. The art style, the music, the story, the anime intro, everything is just so well done.
Thank you so much! :D I hope you are going to enjoy the updates / episode 2 as well.
I would love to record myself playing this amazing game for a YouTube video!
Please do! <3 And make sure to share your video here :) Although, if you wait a few hours, you can play the first updated verison.
Alright, i can wait a few hours to play the updated version!
