The idea is very clever, and I had quite some fun playing this. Aside from the problem where customers may become unhappy even when I did the order properly, I think this is a pretty solid submission. I would love to see a more polished version of this game!

This is definitely an interesting (and super pretty) take on the jam! I do think the "role reversal" feels a little bit shallow but overall it's a nice game to play. Some customers would act unhappy with their food even when I gave exactly what they asked for - not sure if this is a bug, or something that I was missing directions for.

Something went wrong and controls did not work for me but I love the idea and the presentation! <3

The Game Is Fun An The Art Is Cute... I Feel As The Timer Could Be A Bit More Forgiving As I Keep Losing On The First Day... But That Also Just A Skill Issue

Hah, this game really lives up to its name. Its loco when you start slicing up coffee machines. Unexpected game concept to come out of this jam. Really love the creativity behind this.

Some say that if you stop and pay attention for a  hot second, you can still hear the developer  giggling to this day. GG

That said, I'll have a cup of knife with chopped cup, please ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

enjoyed this one a lot, switching up the functionality of the vegetables and tools was great play on the theme and made the game pretty interesting! would love to see this expanded on!

I liked the game concept, really cool!

I really liked the concept! I can tell how it could get really chaotic really quickly which is pretty fun. I do think that it takes a little bit to get going, if you were to continue this project I'd recommend making a level selection screen or something of that sort so players don't have to start over after they lose.

Overall I think this was a pretty fun and creative game! Good job!

Fun and interesting concept and well executed!
Only thing that looks weird is the empty space of the area. Wish there was a bit more decoration.

Overall great!

Interessting Idea, the art looks very clean, would have love a little less empty space around but a solid game so far :)

Good:

  • Game plays well, works as a serviceable restaurant sim
  • Game looks good
  • Opening menu is a nice touch
  • Idea is more creative than creator gives it credit for, once I understood how it worked I found it quite clever

Bad:

  • Role reversal mechanism could have been explained more clearly
Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
