What a cute little game! I love the idea of running a cafe with the help of summoning mythical creatures hahaha. I'm not that into restaurant tycoon games, so I didn't play all of it, but great work on the overall vibe and artstyle!

like someone already said, the rythm can be a little bit slow at first.
also got some dishes stuck at some random places, not that it would penalize me tho
Nice entry 👍

Deffinetly a very fun and unique spin on the theme, the art style is very cute and simple and the game is also fun,

This game is chill... :drooling_face:
And I like your cute interpretation of the theme! ^^
The music and graphics are cool, so is the overall mood. And the gameplay is simple and effective.
There's a few bugs though. Sometimes instead of interacting with a customer or a kitchen element you drop the item you are carrying and can't take it back...
A nice and cozzy game!

It's absolutely cute, but it's tedious. If there's supposed to be helpers I can summon, it was unclear how to get them after several "days" of play and like 500 currency built up. If they just weren't unlocked yet, then it'd be nice to either see how far I have yet to go before unlocking them, or just unlock them quicker. Three or four days of the same thing with no visible progress got boring.
The "hitboxes" could be a bit bigger, too, just so I don't have to line up exactly with things to get them to work.

This is so enjoyable. Such a simple concept but so much fun. Good job!

Cool simulator, but as for me, too slow, should have sped up the whole process. But overall, cool

I really like the graphics, all the characters are very cute. But after a few days it got a little boring. I would like more variety in the dishes and more speed. Good job

I like it, and I so satisfied about full screen button! Good sounds, good visuals! I wait for more recipes and more speed in complete orders!

The only complaint I really have is that the hitboxes are a little finicky. I dropped several items inside the tables instead of giving them to the customers, and I couldn't pick them up afterward.
But it was an enjoyable little game! Nice mood, cute graphics.

Could not stop playing! Very cute and addicting little game. The donuts make sense! The unicorn makes the hole, right? The main character is wholesome and the backstory was wholesome.
Good job!
Good job!

I wanted all the graphics to be like the opening scene. It's so cute. The game was really good, a little fussy on where you drop stuff, but really good.

TIL leaving surplus food spread around on the floors, just in case, is a viable business strategy. Great little game, and incredibly well polished too on all fronts.

I love this game! It was a lot of fun and made me think about how to get as many items ready as possible between orders. Keep it up!



But like I said, it does get interesting after a few minutes of game, I liked how you fitted the theme with the whole summoning helpers, also I liked the graphics, really cute, congrats!
