- Artistic style is fantastic! Music and sound effects work well, and the rewarding sounds when getting the recipe correct are great. It was unclear at first how the game worked (I am playing before checking the GDD), and the 3x3 grid had an unclear purpose. But within 5-10 seconds I had found the recipe book and things started to immediately make sense. The sanity is constantly dropping. The ability to pause would be good! Just noticed I'm losing sanity while writing this! :D Oh no! Just got "Assassin" XD And then "Blinder". The modifiers just level up this game even more! Fantastic gameplay concept.

This is really polished wow! From the music to the animation of the monsters coming to get their drinks. I didn't seem like the customers were getting impatient tho. This has a really big inscryption/buckshot roulette vibe, but it doesn't have the same feeling of danger/urgency. If you added that this would be a really great game :)
Agreed, we definitely would of liked more animations, good suggestion! Thanks for playing.
The art is really reminiscent of inscryption, and its so cool to see it reimagined for this theme. Great job!
Fantastic work! Incredible concept, game design, art, animation, music and execution. Well done!
This is awesome! I love the art style/atmosphere and it does a really good job of embodying the stress of customer service, lol! Great job!
Amazing style and theming
Really solid and polished! one of the best I've tried this jam!
