This is a game about dealing with the mess for the egotistical chef.
The player acts as a food quality inspector, who needs to ensure that the food meets the needs of customers while checking the quality of the food. In the game, you need to decide whether to deliver food to customers by using props and checking food ingredients. Please pay attention to the requirements of different customers. Wish you a happy game!

This game is hilarious! I laughed my ass off when I found out the dish I thought was chicken turned out to be stinky socks haha! The development team really put a lot of effort into this game, with all the details and jokes that make it so entertaining.I discover something new and surprising. It's really incredible! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves funny games. The art style is cute and cartoonish, which adds to the overall fun and lighthearted atmosphere of the game.

This is a cute game! I really enjoyed the art. I did find it very hard

This is a fun take on kitchen games! I love the art, especially the chef portrait and the title screen, absolutely beautiful. The humor is great too, from the flies and socks to a customer potentially being served a completely incorrect dish. Great work!

the art is amazing! but it's really hard to follow along. Didn't find the help section inside the game, only here in the post. I'll try again later! The audio is perfect, disgusting and funny, couldn't ask for more haha.

Nice twist on normal kitchen server games by having you check the food that's already made instead of making it. Neat mechanics of chopsticks and tasting. The sound effects for them and plates sliding were great. I loved the chill jazzy vibe of the game. Art style is very well done but the text was a little hard to read in that font. On thing I would like if you expand this game is for the rejected dishes to come back maybe not immediately but in some sort of queue where you have to keep track of customers. Fantastic job!

This was brilliant!! I adore the artstyle, such a satisfying pixel art!
Is there ever a win condition? Or is it just fail at the end? Either way, ended hard mode with a score of 140, so I'm happy.

Interesting mechanic and neat art!
But bit too realistic in customers requirements. :P
Clephanie3 May 2023, 16:07
Really cool game, I love the art, the atmosphere, the idea too. The font was a bit hard to read sometimes, and it took me some time to really understand how to gain points, but I eventually found it and enjoyed to play :)

Nice one! Really good artwork and gameplay. Played it for 30 minutes in a row trying to complete the hard level

@sevla Hi Sevla, thank your feedback! Actually in game you can check the rule in Mainmenu secene, there is a button named "role". Also you can check the rule when you are playing, just press just stop button and there's a Q&A button which is link to rule page. It's our fault that make a mistake in the "role" button which the text should be "rule". Wish you have fun in our game!!!
Flynow5 May 2023, 14:09
@rigel Haha, LMAO, I'm sorry for deducting points in the game because of your hobby.
Flynow5 May 2023, 14:18
@paul-avallone Hi Paul, Thank you for your feedback. You got a briliant idea, tracking the customer, We will try it when we expand the game, and fix the fonts problem.
Flynow5 May 2023, 14:23
@bluepir Good job! You really have the skill! Much better than me!!! Wish you have fun in our game.

Can't really play the game as I'm using an ultrawide monitor and I assume some buttons are missing on my screen, the game automatically goes full screen and there's no way to make it in windows mode.

Pretty impressive, especially for the graphics and general atmosphere. One of the funniest games I've played so far in this jam !
Wilko7 May 2023, 20:45
This game looks beautiful, a real credit to the artist(s) who worked on it!

@flynow Thanks, I played the html 5 version and it works perfectly.

What I like:

- Simple but interesting gameplay.
- The art style is amazing. Don't know how your team did that, I noticed that it's a blend of pixel art and hand drawings, but they just compliments each other so well, instead of conflicting.
- Good and suitable music.
- SFX are on point.
- Nice UI. The buttons got audio feedback for clicking? Such an attention to detail, in a jam game.
The overall presentation of the game is done very well.

What could be better:

- I wish that there's some audio indicator when the dish I delivered/remaked is a success or fail. I had to rely on looking at chef's face to know so. That requires a lot of vision attention, especially when the player should have their eyes on the customer/meal details most of the time.
- As some have mentioned, the fonts are hard to read sometimes.

@kyboon Thank you for your feedback, really appreiate it! Your high quality feedback really make sense to us. The advice you mentioned to make a feedback audio when get or lose score is really important.
Flynow8 May 2023, 09:25
@kyboon Hi kyboon. Our team discussed optimizing the game based on everyone's existing feedback for another version. However, since the development process for this game has ended and everyone's time is tight, large-scale optimization and expansion may not be possible. But regardless, I will add the score feedback function. Thank you again for your feedback!

Next, I would like to say something on a personal note. I will be participating in many GameJam competitions in the future, and I would love to share the games I develop with you and receive your valuable feedback. If you're interested, could you please DM me on itch.io or YouTube to stay in touch?

It took me some time to get used to the look of ingredients (and especially not ingredients), but once I got hold of them the game got quite addictive. Just a couple of things: I'd prefer to have the whole tool buttons clickable instead of just an image and it also would be nice to have hot keys for tools or deliver\remake buttons. I understand that in game jam mode it would be hard, but I'd really like to have a progression between the difficulties: not just the time and score goal increase, but addition of some ingredients and(or) requirements. Regardless it is really great and fun game!
Flynow9 May 2023, 08:42
@k8n Thank you so much for your feedback. I have noted the areas where we are lacking and will pay attention to these issues in future game development.

This is really nice submission. It looks great, and the music doesn't feel too repetitive and sets a nice mood. It took me a bit of time to figure out how to do well, but overall, very high quality submission for a 3 day game jam!

Very intersting art style that you have. I would like to have a bit more feedback after decision made.
