Very good art and I like the idea of showing what the player has to do with just visual ques. I feel though that it would be nice to make some things a little bit clearer, as I had trouble to figure out where you should bring plates with food and then empty plater. And controls are a little weird - pressing 'w' moves you backwards and 's' forward. Pretty nice concept though and game looks good, great job!

A unique pixelated style I've never seen before, looks absolutely gorgeous, but I admit I really have no clue how I'm supposed to get tips, would love to try again if you can help me out

Yeah! That's fair! It's not as clear as we would like. The general idea:
Put chairs down for customers
Serve them dirty plates
Take full plates away and remove food
Put clean plates away in the chest.

See if that helps you get tips!

Oh I get it now! I was just throwing the chairs around the room haha. I like how in later levels not every chair has a place mat and you have to run around and find them. Nice looking jam, top marks

Funny concept, but reversed controlls are not that impactfull here - we can just press "S" all the time and wont really notice, because your movement is mostly up to the camera direction.

True! We found inverting the cameras as well was a little bit too much, so we made it the hardcore mode. Try it and see what you think! (Enable in the menu)

Really enjoyed the choice of visuals, love the 3D pixelated and low-poly feel. Fun and challenging with the reversed controls. Had a good laugh after pressing the hardcore button as I struggled quite a bit :)
