Have you ever wanted to run a diner but you were classically trained as an Abyssal summoner? Well don't let that stop you. In Abyssal Diner, you play as a tiny wizard attempting to accomplish their two greatest dreams. Feed people, and make as much money as possible.

Use your Abyssal summoning portal to summon waves of ~~enemies~~ ingredients and then use your trusty demon furnace to cook delicious meals for unsuspecting customers.

How much money can you make?

Hey, not bad. Would be great to have a retry button instead of being forced to quit :P I apparently am not a good cook and need more practice.

Hi!Really cool game, this LD there seems to be so much puzzles and your game feels fresh. Action games are my kind so thank you.

whoa. WHOA. and whoa. I got eaten by slugs, or worms? kinda looked like worms. Maybe it was gremlins. idk, the room looked really nice and your instructions made it easy to get what was going on. Smooth movement and no hesitations so that's great too. :-)

This is an ambitious entry, with multiple game modes; if only you closed the game loop by adding a way to spend the money (on upgrades perhaps) then it would have been fantastic! Pretty decent game, and impressive that this was done as a compo entry.

A solid game in such a short time. Since I see money, I assume that you didn't have time for upgrades. Tip to make the gameplay feel better straight away: "Feedback".
When the balls fly to the portal, it feels like nothing is happening. Let the balls destroy and the portal flash. Same with the enemies. You feel detached from the game. When the monsters hit you, you should light up or be flung away, etc. But please don't be disappointed by my criticism. Just trying to help you improve the game experience :)

This is a fun premise, and it'd be nice to see it
fleshed out a bit more. For me, the "battle" portion was
a bit too hard, and I couldn't make it past the second wave
of gremlins (and not for lack of frantic clicking). Another
thing I noticed is that the viewport size seems to change
with the window size, so using a smaller window means I see less
of the play field.

I got a score of 113. Interesting idea, but could use some polish.
