Good idea and quite easy to understand :). However I'm pretty sure I won hard mode on a bug where the waiter tried to clean the same milkshake spot in eternity (up in the right corner precisely in front of the bar).

Thank you for playing our game! We did come across this bug after the deadline unfortunately so we were not able to fix it.

I love the idea of playing as a customer sabotaging the restaurant.  There's definitely a lot of potential if you keep working on this, nice work :)

I didn't really understand the differences between the choices I was making, but I like the concept and enjoying spilling milkshakes. Cool that you included a tutorial, too. Nice presentation as well :D

The gameplay of this game is super creative and the art is great. A feature idea could be a note pad to record your findings amazing job very well done. :D (What do we have against this restaurant???)

Developer

Thanks for playing the game and thanks for the feedback!  We plan to go back and do more with it!

Not realistic, how can a waiter carry 6 different pizzas with one hand.

Jokes aside. A pretty good game, but needs food on screen to feel like you are in a restaurant. Also, the tutorial said that the scouts can order only up to 3 items and I ordered 6 pizzas in Gordon Ramsay mode. And, how do the milkshakes work? Only managed to get 1 in 2 runs, don't know if the trigger is bugged or something.

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed! Milkshakes are given when you order a milkshake from the menu and its served to one of the customers. The pizzas in Gordon Ramsay mode are bugged, however we decided to leave it in as it made it a bit funnier. We'd like to add food sprites on screen eventually, we just didn't have the time during the jam.

Creative concept! I had some problems figuring out how to do at the beginning, but then I understood. Nice work!

This is really cute and funny. Not much game play, but Ive always wanted to be the guy to order in papa's pizzaria and I am glad I got to experience that!

Pretty goofy take on such a serious premise, but I loved it. The UI could use some fixes (spaghetti, maybe closing the menu, and the victory screen is cutoff if not in fullscreen), but they’re all minor things. I could see you adding more features like order tracking, to-go orders, or even multiple waiters if you expanded on the game.

Awesome!  Thanks for playing our game!  Thank you for the feedback, we would love to expand the game!

hehe! Fired successfully.

Fnny game. I like the waiting state anims.

Give some visual feedback on where to click to order.

I'm not sure how I manage to open it.

Also, some workload meter would be nice.

good job

Developer

I didn't know the menu "spaghetti" is there because milkshake icon hides it at first lol

Don't really understand what I need do at first, but help is really helped me, so I managed being fired in first attempt

Heh, I love the twist in this games role reversal. Playing this game is like therapy for anyone who play one of those dinner dash games for way too long!

This was really fun! I enjoyed spilling the milkshakes-- I felt kind of bad for the waiter though.

I think it turned out really well, and it was impressive that you were also able to make a good tutorial in such a short time. Good Job, and keep up the hard work!

Developer

Thanks for playing our game!  Thank you for your feedback Too!  We liked the milkshakes part as well
