My second entry in Ludum Dare! I interpreted the theme as "doing something as efficiently as possible". In this game you take the role of a barman. You get in orders one by one, but to serve everyone in time you will have to approach things smartly. Try to find a method that works for you.
At first the controls seemed strange, but you can quickly get used to them. The gameplay was really neat, though the best strategy is to always pick four items and place them on the counter. If placed items could spoil after 30 seconds of not completing an order, the game could be more balanced.
Nice work :) There should be some restriction on how many drinks should you make for the orders, so that the game would make a better challenge for the player (right now you can make as many things as you want and just place them on the counter whenever). I like it though :)
Nice idea and solid implementation. Works very well. Slightly tricky to move the guy to pick up the coffees when you're in a rush, but aside from that, very well done!
Thanks for the reactions people! I agree I should have put some restriction on how easily you can produce drinks or how you can just prepare way more than necessary beforehand. I'll take your suggestions into account should I ever feel like continuing this game. :)

Instructions must be more clear in the begining, to know where the player has to go.
