Wow, this is really well done! The core gameplay is fun and the animated character art is great.
I hope you give it a post-jam polish. Things like a clearer tutorial, highlighting interactables so you know what "Z" is going to do, save highscore on retire, etc.
I missed having the Mastermind-style history, on 5 pips I was struggling to remember what I served three dishes ago. Maybe that's just part of the challenge.
