Yo, some feedback: (you asked for it!)
-It's very hard to get to the game, I think no non-programmer will ever get to play it through a thousand folders
-When I'm writing, the character is still responding in 'walk mode'
-When I finish and want to walk, I keep writing (I end up with stuff like "With friesaaaaaaaaaa")
-Typo: Ligth speed
-Maybe use the table space for the speech bubble, just not to have the tables, characters, and bubbles overlapping and confusing the player
-Bubbles and food cover the table numbers
-Sometimes I get a "wrong plate" but I have no clue why it was wrong (feedback)
-Sometimes I have to keep rubbing the table and clicking to randomly get the order accepted
-The writing paper clears when I send the order, but not when I deliver the plate, so I have to manually clear it for the next note

#nitpick
-When customers leave they just leave a plate full of food
-Shouldn't the frames be about food? Is the restaurant owned by an executive robot? :p
-Some feedback about the scoring
-What's the game over condition?

I guess that's it, games are hard! Good job!

It looks interesting, but you shouldn't label your download as "Web" unless it runs in a browser. If you have to download something with the game be sure to label it "Windows" or "OSX" or "Linux" depending on what OS it's supposed to go with.

Eggplante, I didn't think about it. Thanks for commenting!

Cool looking sprites. Wish there was a real ending to the game. Good work for 12 hours though! I appreciated the attempt at incorporating typing with gameplay.

@MessinaBrothers, I was about to add a HUD timer, when the Ludum Dare timer expired!
It's a score based game, it ends after 5 minutes of gameplay and yep, it's little bit too much, I gess 2 or 3 minutes would be better. Thanks for playing, it means a lot to me! :D

I couldn't get an order to start, so just ended up with a room full of people with unfulfilled orders. Controls seemed okay and gfx/music were nice.

Great concept, but its hard to switch between keyboard and mice to write down orders

Fun game but very hard to understand what need to do to order food! Please add improved graphics solution!

For some reason Adobe Flash Player doesn't recognize your project as a correct file type.

wow it was a really interesting game. very hard but unique. i loved the graphics, i liked the gameplay but i think it just needs a tweek or two, maybe a button menu for the orders. great game!

Nice and interesting game! :) Really hard though (which is not necessarily a bad thing), switching between mouse and keyboard.

Bug(?): Sometimes clients stack which may cause issues like one client being happy with right order and other one not? couldnt really tell since speech bubbles stack as well.

Pretty much the same as oelsons commented. The controls are difficult. Constant need to switch from mouse to keyboard.
