caution: Web version doesn't support controllers, and its better to play it fullscreen. additionally, i forgot to create a proper texture for the player, so you'll have to play using the prototype version (i'm bad at anatomy).

The Underpaid Elf

this game is intended to be a blend of Bounty Of One (roguelike) and Overcooked (chaotic cooking simulator). the result is a game where, like in Overcooked, your goal is to complete orders and receive rewards. however, the influence from Bounty Of One comes in with the levels of progression and earning upgrades. the objective of the game is to achieve the highest score you can.

if you could share your score in the comments, it would be very helpful for me in terms of balancing!

Graphics

in terms of graphics, i decided to experiment by drawing everything by hand, scanning it, and then digitally adding colors after posterizing it. it was an interesting departure from my usual art style. overall, i wouldn't say that art is my strong suit.

Future

i apologize in advance for any bugs; it is a submission for the Christmas Jame Gam, after all. also, please overlook any spelling errors inside; i tried to fix as many as i could.

i intend to continue the development of this game, as the premise is quite interesting.

Plans:

• adjust the spacing between orders.
• improve the tutorial section to better explain functions of each station.
• tweak crafting system.
• make an option to quit crafting minigames
• implement couch co-op.
• enhance ui.
• add music.
• introduce an online scoreboard.

Known Bugs:

• absence of player texture.
• some UI elements are not visible when not in fullscreen mode.

if you have any suggestions, notice a bug, or anything else, please feel free to share :)
