JUST Good Cookin'

👩‍🍳 Become a Zebra Finch Zinester ($3/month) member or higher on our Patreon before May 12th to get a key for this game zine! 👩‍🍳

Welcome to chez gamedev! Customers will bring in requests for a game, and you must make them a good game. NOT a great game. Please don't ruin our civilization by making a game that's so good people get addicted to it. Tyvm.

And remember: as a short-order cook, your job is to make stuff FAST! Quantity is far more important than quality. Don't be afraid to try something new even if it doesn't work out.

Note: the entire game is in the images on the right, but the game is free to download in PDF form too. It's just the 4-page zine that costs $1 :D

The Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam

This game was created for Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam #44 (Good Cookin'), which means I literally made it in an hour! WHEW! I highly encourage you to check the jams out 🧡 They're every Friday at 6 pm Eastern, and Lýz livestreams them, including the theme reveal and playing entries after. She's super fun and encouraging and awesome!

And Angel made a game for this jam too!

And Ty Barbary made a game-prompting game based on this too! You should definitely check it out!

The Newest Weird Giraffe Games Title —Logic & Lore— is on Kickstarter Now!

In Logic & Lore, rivals race to be the first to align their hidden stars, numbered 1-9, with their mice manipulating the available insights. Work quickly and pay attention, as your rival knows how close you are to completion and they may risk it all to claim victory.

Logic & Lore is a cozy but competitive deduction game for 2 players with customizable difficulties for each player. This fantasy themed logic puzzle game plays two players, ages 8 and up, in around 10-30 minutes.

You can back it on Kickstarter now, or check out the special Print and Play to try out Star Light mode with full art! The PnP is free until the campaign ends on March 21st. 

Did you know we have a Patreon?

You can read more about Just Good Cookin there.

The vast majority of our posts are free: we share news, updates, behind-the-scenes design stuff, and more. We do have paid tiers that get access to our stuff as it releases, but even becoming a free member will get you emails when one of our free posts goes out. And psssst: sometimes we even release free stuff!

You can check out our other Hyper 1 HOUR Creations (and games inspired by the jam) here, along with some of my favorites below:
