Nice and fun game!
Surely I'll never eat in a restaurant where you have to share the fork :P
I think that will fit perfectly as an iphone/android game :P

Neat game
I totally love the idea since I saw a post about it in your journal! I laught so hard :) These simply artstyle fit the game perfect. The only thing I miss is propably difficult curve. After that thousand-something points I wasn't sure if it's getting more difficult. But till that I got a fun :) Like dsoft20 said it fits a touch screen good.
Nice, very nice... It's so funny!
Nice realisation ! I like it !
Fantastic! Having worked a time management game myself, its nice to see the core of the medium so elegantly boiled down to its simplest form. The premise is excellent, and could be easily be extended. Maybe the chef needs to use the fork to cook too, or there's also one spoon and one knife going around.
Nice work!
One fork? Talk about a sanitation issue! :)
This was a really great game. The challenge was awesome, the pacing was really good, and the art style was very consistent. Excellent work!
I like it! Fun and it's nice that the first screen explains how to play.
The only thing I would have changed is the instructions screen, there is too much text on it.
Pretty funny idea, it gets a bit hard with 3 hungry people.
Thanks all for playing and for your comments!
@JoeProgram: At first, I had some little variations in mind, such as the fact that some customers would require a clean fork, so you'll have to wash it before sending it to them - sanitation matters after all as ZXeno said ;).
Your comments motivates me to try to extend the game after the compo, and maybe do a mobile version too (I actually tried it on a Flash-capable Android tablet, and you're right, the game is quite a good fit).
Very fun, balanced, and clever. It implements the theme very well.
Really nice game, great idea! Bien joué ;)
Funny idea, the green bar is a little hard to see at times.
Does the word hygiene come to mind...
Original and very playable with crisp, clean graphics. This would make an excellent phone / tablet game.
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting but simple concept! I bet that fork is disgusting, though.
It's a cool inverted wack-a-mole game. Nice simple, but quite fun.
I played it during compo, and this time it's much more balanced. It feels challenging, but you can come out of any situation. It doesn't have a lot of stuff, but what's done is done excellent. Good job!
hehe nice idea and fluid gameplay. well done!
Great job! Really awesome use of the theme. Simple concept but it works perfectly! :))
Ooops. I forgot to submit my ratings at first! :P now its rated :P
Nice take on the concept! Nice and easy to pick up and play but with plenty of fun.
WOAAAAA this game is so much fun and so creative! perfect entry I loved it :D Got 1000 points *_*
hilarious and complete, a perfect Ludum Dare entry.
At first, I thought "What kind of idea is that?", but the game turned out to be quite addictive.
So funny game!! Great mechanics and nice game! :D
760 points :) Really fun mechanic and very well done! I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks!
Really fun to play ! The mood is good, the challenge is interesting and the sound of eating is so cool ! The balance is good, but I was a big master at the first try ^^
Perhaps you could add big eaters or characters who wait less time that the others ! And a funny music too !
A very interesting take on the theme. I have to say I really enjoyed it.
A pretty cool game. Nice idea.
Fun little mini-game. I'd be so pissed if I had to eat at this place. :)
Very nice concept and theme, a new mechanic could greatly improve the game, since it is very fun at the start, but It becomes somewhat repetitive.
You got quite a bit of depth from such a simple mechanic. Great Job.
Definitely one of the better games I've seen. At first you get the idea that you just have them eat in the order they come in, but soon realize this is not the optimal strategy, in fact it doesn't work well at all. Very clever, and kinda addictive.
Plays just like a Game & Watch handheld. Very nice work!
What a crazy idea! Pretty cool interpretation of the theme :)
Got to 1270pts and if that's not much I'm gonna blame it on being sick while playing. Anyhow, a really nice game. A good introductory difficulty and progression towards harder customers. I wasn't quite understanding when or why I got new stars, but that doesn't matter much. I'm a bit skeptic about the hygiene of that establishment, but the customers seems happy (Washing the fork could of course be an added complexity for later stages).
Thanks to all of you for your feedback!
@localminimum: The actual record for now is 1360 points, so 1270 is a pretty good score! :)
Regarding the new "stars" (lives) you'll get an extra life each time the difficulty level increase in the "latter stages" of the game (e.g. you'll get an extra life after 800 pts, another one after 1200 pts, 1600 pts and 2000 pts)
Well done, cool idea, captivating simple game eheh !
My personal high score : 1400 points from 71 happy customers.
Very nice entry.
It's very simple, yet super effective, perfectly in the theme, well done on the audio/graphic level, and damn "hard"/addicting gameplay.
My customers started to have "bigger bowls" apparently (going from 5 forkful to 6/7) quite soon to my taste, I would have liked a bit more progression before it happened (or maybe I started switching fork too soon before they ate it ?, not sure though, I let some customers finish their bowl just to make sure and they were definitely eating for longer than the very first ones).
Nice mood/humor though, even if, as stated in other comments, I wouldn't go to a restaurant with a single fork ^^
Well made and nice to play, all in 48 hours, congratulations !
Fun game got a score of 1630 ^^
Haha the screenshots look like one large diner.
I think this is a good take on the theme. Easy to understand and play.
After playing it for a while I wished you could have something more convenient in stead of a mouse and then I saw there were Android downloads too.
I had a try on my android too. And like other people said: a good game for mobile.
Very simple but very addictive game!
Among all the contributions I've seen so far, it's one of the gameplay ideas that fit most with the LD theme!
Really great spin on the Diner Dash time-management game type. One of the best uses of theme I've seen in the compo. Great work!
Hilarious, frustrating and highly playable
Nice little game :-) Have you ever heard about dining philosophers problem?
"Dude, I walked into a restaurant the other day, they only had one fork and served rice, worst date ever."
Nice, very challenging.
Love the jolly graphics and animations. The tutorial screen is excellent and the controls were very easy to pick up. There is a well-judged difficulty ramp and a pleasing dash of strategy to be had! I suppose I would like to see a little more variety in the foodstuffs / customers (like a really fat guy or something?) but this is a really great entry
This was great! Though I would not eat at this place. Not at all.
