Enjoyable and appealed to the 'compulsive' instinct of completing orders and clearing the customer queue.

very fun! can't really say much about the art style but what is in there is solid. It is hard sometimes to click on a tile right in front of a customer to place the dining plate. Really like how you stayed true to the theme as it is definitively harder the further you get and the more people you serve. Interesting concept!

Very intense game, I like it. I definately feel like I'm in a rush and the game makes no mistake in telling you that when you have a bunch of bubbles, waiting customers and dirty tables. Something that somewhat irked me was the fact that it was difficult to click the plates of the customers sometimes (would have been much better if you clicked their head). The Art could have been improved and so could the Sound but in general it was quite gamey but in a good way.

Great game. Love the pixel art 3d style.

Su much things to handle at the same time. Being a restaurant owner is not easy, but I definitely love it.

Oh that was stressful :D great game, gets really hard to remeber to get all the payments and cleanup.

I have just played this for half an hour! Suffice to say I was hooked!! I got all the way up to 470 ratings and still managed to keep over 1 star!! It gets bloody tense, though I felt because you can leave people waiting then you can control the madness! Fantastic addictive game you've got going there though, perhaps that's because I was an old fan of diner dash!

Nice idea, though it gets quite stressful after a while and I just thought to myself: Oh god please make them stop coming! In the end I made it to 345 reviews, though I stopped interacting with the customers at about 165.

Some kind of level mechanic (stopping after 20 customers, more on later levels) might have helped with that, I think.

Excellent game, had me hooked for 10-15 minutes, almost got to 5 stars but couldn't handle the stress anymore!! Really good job, I love it, from the simplicity to the straight forward gameplay!

It's really well made. The only thing is that's tedious to follow the pace at the end, but t's the goal of the game after all.

I made it to 100 reviews and I quit with 2 stars. Good game.

The game is REALLY nice! Could use with some keyboard shortcuts (RTS style). Most of my time was spent moving the mouse over to the menu.

Thank you all for your comments! They've certainly put a big grin on my face. I'm considering expanding this after the voting ends, and I'm noting all the great feedback provided to improve the game. Glad you all enjoyed the stress of running the most manic restaurant around! :D

This game is very addictive, yet I don't know why. Got around 100 ratings and the queue was huge, thought I was doing good but my restaurant only had 2 stars. Haha.
Awesome idea, should work it up.

Solid and addictive game. Sometimes I would have liked a more top down view as some tables were hard to click on when a customer is in the way, but maybe that is part of the game and what makes it overwhelming when you have too many things going on at the same time. :-)

I love this kind of games. It kept me playing for more than 15 minutes! It becomes really stressful in the last part, but I think that's the point!

Good job!

At first I thought "Only three meals? This is going to be easy", aaand then I got a lot of stress :smile:

But it felt like it stopped getting harder at some point though. I had 400 ratings and I felt like I can go for as long as I want.

Overall very good game, somehow reminded me of overcooked. Good job!

Cool game. It took me a while to understand how it worked, but once you get it it's fun.

Fun game. Although the difficulty dies down after some time.

Now that gave me nearly a heart attack but great game. The only thing i was missing is a visual feedback what you have selected. Good job!

Nice job! I somewhat like it, but the endless amount of people you can have waiting for spots is a little ridiculous. Also, the diminishing returns really hit hard once you reach around 100 ratings, so it becomes almost impossible to lose. I literally had to just sit there for 5 minutes waiting for the votes to overcome this. As far as graphics, it is pretty, with a rather simplistic art style. Innovation is almost none, because it's just another cook'n'serve game. It does fit rather well with the theme, but at a certain point, it just becomes a grinding game.

Love the game! I agree that some shortcuts would be nice

Hey! Had huge fun streaming your game! Got up to 348 reviews!

I loved the fact that there were an assortment of commands to do to clean the tables, get the check books and serve the 4 kinds of food

One issue was clicking on the people, maybe highlighting the people when I hover over them would give me the visual feedback I need to know where I was clicking.

A feature I would add to spice up the gameplay would be to have some meals that mix colours e.g Red + Blue = Purple Meal (Mixing colours etc)

Great game anyway! Nicely polished and had a great time streaming cheers :wink:

Nice game! I had fun playing it. :) I would have liked feedback if I pressed the buttons correctly (it blinks very shortly but highlighted would be better), because many times I thought I clicked it but nothing happened. (Apparently the game is looking for a mouse-up event, and not a mouse-down event, which fooled me many times.)
The game takes quite long, so after 400+ reviews and still having a 2 star rating, I gave up. I think if the game play was shorter, I would play again and try to beat my own score, but now there just didn't seem to be an end to it.

Well done!
