Gotta feed them all
NOTE: Unfortunately, we ran out of time and didn’t get to add audio/SFX so the game’s silent for now.
Welcome! Gotta Feed Them All is our entry for GMTK Game Jam 2025, themed "Loop."
Run a conveyor belt sushi restaurant for picky feline customers! The goal is to match dishes to each cat’s preferences. Some love fish, others are strictly vegetarian.
Keep your customers happy, unlock new dishes in the shop, and balance flavor profiles like umami, sweet, and veggie.
We hope you enjoy playing our little game!

Note: Due to time constraints, we weren't able to implement everything we had planned. Currently, there is no win or lose condition (although reaching $0 means you can no longer make any moves). So please set your own goal, such as reaching 90% customer happiness.

Cute cats and I love sushi! Made me hungry for real sushi!
Played it and had to restart a few times. The beginning is rough because the cats can ask for food that you haven't bought yet. Salmon covers Fish/Cheap orders and Omelette covers Vegan/Sweet/Cheap orders. But orders that want Pricey/Shrimp/Tuna/Cake? If you don't have those, you get an Okay (Yellow) opinion and they pay you exactly how much you spent buying that sushi (I wish I could find this restaurant in real life).
Fortunately ignoring them won't get you any penalty so you can just wait until a cat shows up whose order you actually can fulfill. Although the other issue is that you only add new dishes at the bottom right and they only go one direction. You can play around this by looking at the line-up of requests counter clock-wise and sending them all in order at once. This isn't perfect though since cats can abruptly leave or appear which will throw your rhythm apart (and potentially get them Mad if the food wasn't meant for them!)
I guess what I'm saying is it would be nice to be able to reverse the direction of the conveyor belt so that you have more agency. Maybe make it an upgrade (among other abilities) you can purchase in the shop?
No Eel sushi ("I'm feeling EEL-ated right now!")? Or Tempura shrimp ("You're telling me a shrimp fried this sushi?"). Those would be: Sweet/Fried + Shrimp.
Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to leave such good feedback. It fills me with joy that you took our silly little game seriously! We definitely have plenty of ideas for a post-jam version of the game and yours are really good!
And eel sushi is my favorite, there's many cool pieces I want to add!😺
Such cute cats!! And the animation when you start up the game? Adorable ^w^
Thank you! 😻
