#### In this game you are tasked to pick up all the plates and bring them back to the dishwasher :)
#### An easy task it would seem, but how really is it? Find out :)

To pick up the plates you need to be close to the table and then wait!

Balance your way back to the dishwasher!

I hope you don't break too many dishes :P

CONTROLS:
- WASD or ARROR KEYS to move
- MOVE MOUSE to look around
- TAB or LEFT MOUSE BUTTON for the mini map
- LEFT SHIFT or RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to walk slowly

All versions are hosted on itch.io

The web version is slow on bigger maps, desktop versions work better there :)

I wasn't able to test if the osx version works, if anyone could check and give me info it would be really cool :)

Source code on github.

- Godot 3.3.4

I managed to collect one whole plate! I don't think I'm cut out to be a waiter.

I did only one too x)

I am very bad at collecting dishes and everyone at the restaurant has feel slashed to pieces by broken plates. I feel so guilty.

The sound of dropping all the plates you just picked because you did not check the controls for the "walk slowly" button is glorious! I encountered a single bug, the amount of plates left was 1 less than there were plates and when I took all plates to washer (or broke them) the amount of plates left was -1. I really like the idea, reminds me of other games that are about physics and awkward controls.

@octahedronsoftware glad you liked it :D I played it quite a few times and it never went below 0, there must be some collision bug in the dishwasher :D

It was hard but I got 10 plates! I probably got fired. :smile:

The vertical mouselook axis is rather sensitive compared to horizontal look and it's too easy to drop plates onto the floor. One time, the game picked up the plates I already had, among other physics oddities.

Though the music is surprisingly atmospheric, at least, to me. Good job, nonetheless

I am an excellent plate smasher. Nice game! I think the speed you turn is faster than the plates can handle so I ended up breaking a lot. A very neat concept!

Good work!

Oh my, I am not sure if I would do a good job in a restaurant. :smiley:

You nailed the theme! But sometimes I didn’t have the feeling I would stand a chance to keep the dishes on my tablet while they were dropping. But congratulation to your game!

Fun little game, one of my plates landed on a chair without breaking so i couldn't pick it up or let it fall but other than that real nice! :)

Wow, I failed, but you definitely did not. I loved the concept, broke a lot of plates which I'm assuming was the intention, and had a ton of fun. Great job!

Hi! haha I've drooped many plates but I could manage it, so fun your game! the music is good as well! I felt surprised with the bubbles at the dishwasher, so good haha :) Well done :D

Very nice concept! Has some performance issues on larger map. Just needs some balancing to make it a little easier to carry plates, well done great job! :v:
