Made me rage :P The days went for too long. And I was unsure how to make a sandwhich. Also, because you couldnt make 2 of the same thing at the same time, made it a little difficult

Great game. Tons of Fun!

atomicvikings 2013-12-17 02:47

Manual was shown to me 5 times. After that game stareted. Nice idea but a bit unbalanced. Move forward. :-) Great work. Like the graphics

unept 2013-12-17 02:47

Love the idea! Maybe I did something wrong though, because I couldn't understand how the coffee worked. I had many angry coffee buyers. :)

Good fun to play, and I got that great feeling of accomplishment once I had the hang and could prepare lots of things at the same time. The daytime effect at the top was a really nice touch.

mcapraro 2013-12-17 04:42

nice start for a game, i can see pushing the graphics and animation more to make it really engaging

torcado194 2013-12-17 04:44

very nice restaurant management-type game! well made. good job!

lissar 2013-12-17 04:48

I think I wouldn't last very long in this job!

zkenshin 2013-12-17 05:16

Somewhat challenging, but good job!

lacutis 2013-12-17 05:29

Good game, liked the idea of it. Couldn't figure out how to make sandwiches and most of the coffee drinkers didnt ask for sugar or cream but it seemed like it made me put it in?

Anyway, it was fun and a nice little game.

jaymeemak 2013-12-17 06:46

Really difficult to figure out how to play properly - even just having to mash the mouse button to get past the newspaper screen.

metkis 2013-12-17 06:52

VERY long day, but in the end I was hired! Interesting take on the food-making genre.

zerkruemler 2013-12-17 06:56

Cool idea, it could be very much fun with a few modifications (in my opinion):
- Tutorial. I needed some minutes to understand what to click in which sequence. I also was not able to create a sandwhich
- Much shorter days. It feels so repetitive without any success of finishing a day.
Keep on the good work.
Cool music and sound effects. Have you played the song on your guitar?

wisegamer 2013-12-17 13:42

Nice idea. Keep it up.

rvaquero82 2013-12-17 14:54

Great :D

mrtedders 2013-12-18 01:57

Great game, I remember playing a lot of games like this so i picked it up really quick but with a proper tutorial level you could get newer player to this style of game comfortable with the gameplay concept!

cniangel 2013-12-18 03:52

Great game. I liked that the game got some difficult as the day progressed. The graphics were not great, but they were fitting to the current mood.

solluxx 2013-12-18 04:10

I found it easy enough that I was waiting for customers. Customers also stacked on each other, and I couldn't clear mess up orders. But overall really fun and pretty polished. Great job! It was all worth the Woo Hoo in the end haha

john_conder9 2013-12-18 05:43

Pretty good game, although I was totally confused as to what was going on for the first few minutes. Once I got the hang of it, it became really easy. I gave up playing after a while, how long is a day? It felt like forever, probably because the orders came in so slow. Was a very enjoyable game though!

mrblade 2013-12-18 05:53

Good game! Very polished graphics, good tutorial, nice game play. Nice that you added sounds! Keep it up.

dremelofdeath 2013-12-18 07:19

Fun to challenge yourself to get orders faster and remember more. Would be interesting to have multiple difficulties where the number of orders increases, perhaps appearing after you beat the game once. A progress bar on how far you are would be nice too

lorniebear 2013-12-18 07:50

Made me want breakfast...

fenixin 2013-12-18 08:17

Really nice game! Had a lot of fun playing it! Very finished!

paveldlouhy 2013-12-18 10:36

It is an interesting game. It would be nice to see more polished version. Good work!

digihacker 2013-12-18 17:43

Overall a good game !! Polish it and it will be better ! =D

velinje 2013-12-18 20:36

I would like more stress with this game please =) More customers and more ordering options would make this much much better, I got the hang of it fairly quickly, and after that it lacked challenge. Apart from that it was really great!

somepx 2013-12-18 21:31

Complex mechanics for a jam game, not bad!

My first impressions on the game

coinflipgames 2013-12-19 22:05

@DanielSnd hilarious. You have some very valid criticisms there. Thanks for playing and making a video.

drkrunk 2013-12-20 00:09

This was pretty fun to play. I was confused at first but got the hang of it quickly, just like a real job. Good work!

joao-kucera 2013-12-20 02:02

The theme is great! Congrats!

rojo 2013-12-20 08:14

Today I learned that I should never be a waiter.

moosefly 2013-12-20 14:01

A nice game with a good mood (the background noises were great)! The game was somewhat short so things could've gotten a bit more hectic to add challenge. But I did enjoy it and got the job!

roguenoodle 2013-12-20 15:24

Wooooohooooooo! Hired ;) But man, that was stressful! Had a really hard time keeping everyone's orders straight. Felt like the day went a little long. Would prefer shorter rounds with maybe some kind of scoring mechanic to add some replayability, but super solid entry!

parapup 2013-12-20 21:04

Loads of fun it got tough a little but still great fun.

beardogames 2013-12-20 21:12

Wow, I'm impressed that the frustration of the days when I had this kind of job could be duplicated so perfectly. I rated it high for 'fun' because it's a fun game despite the soul crushing nature of the subject matter. This is a game ripe for expansion! Great job!

coinflipgames 2013-12-20 21:34

@BeardoGames I think your feedback is my favorite so far :D Thanks everyone for all of the awesome feedback you have given us.

pjchardt 2013-12-21 00:27

I like the concept but I feel the execution could use some work. I was not sure how to start the game and once in game I was not sure what to do. I feel like some more feedback for the player could help them understand what is going on. For example on the main menu scale the hiring graphic on mouse hover. In the game maybe create icons for completed orders and force the player to drag this over to the customer. This changes the experience and so may be undesirable, however it does give the player an understanding of what they are doing.

deadlypear 2013-12-22 01:56

Nice, different take on the theme. Solid game mechanic. Nix the tutorial, but make the game play itself more intuitive. Enjoyed the music and concept.

iiechapman 2013-12-28 01:40

The classified section s was a nice touch. Very much like cook serve delicious. I think it solid entry. With a little more help teaching us how to make the different foods and deliver them the game would be even better. Good job.

keithe 2014-01-02 22:03

Cool game. Loved how simple you kept it in terms of interface. I did get a little cumbersome with multiple customers.

jaj 2014-01-06 21:02

The interface could have been made more intuitive, but this seemed like a lot to make for only three days so good job.
