Solid entry! Loved all the characters and details, and the fact the music built up as you go up the elevators. It was fun to see little callbacks to your past games, and was a very fun surprise to see this!

A couple quality-of-life improvements: - You can't switch lanes while holding left or right, which leads to some weird gameplay patterns where you want to build up speed, then swap lanes while you're coasting. - The "frame-based" horizontal scrolling sometimes means you get smacked by the wait staff or another robot that you had no chance to see coming. It would probably be a little nicer if the horizontal scrolling was also smooth, like the vertical scrolling.
Seeing the "esteemed customer" was a nice treat! I was not able to find any of the secrets, so either I'm incompetent or they were hidden pretty well.
I'm doing the fan art thing again, so I added your little waiter robot to the pixel fan art compilation on my profile! fanart53.png
As always, great work and good luck during the rest of play and rate!
Fun game overall! Charming graphics, and loved the frog at the end haha As mentioned by Jeremy Rian, the lane swapping and horizontal scrolling could use some QOL adjustment, but I don't really have anything else to add other than great job!
Cute little game, had a few laughs in some absurd situations, nice entry !
Very cute and fun game. :) Something is a bit weird about the controls - you're not able to switch lanes while accelerating, or at least it has a weird delay. The story is cute and unique, I like it! :)
my score was 322 and I found every token.
the ending was fun and unexpected. I like phisics of bottle on cart. good entry
great game! very easy to pick up, fairly challenging tp play. One thing I noticed is lots of the times I failed was due to something coming in from off the screen, maybe a warning symbol or something to alert the player so they are not caught off guard?
An interesting entry. Enemies movements are a little too random. nice pixel art! here is my best score Capture d’écran 2023-05-11 131426.png
This is deceptively difficult at first, but it's not too hard once you get the hand of it. The pixel art graphics are very charming, and I like how the music slowly builds as you progress through the floors. I do think there should be a warning about objects coming in from off-screen, but I managed not to get caught out by it. I may have to go through this again and see if I can track down any of those frog tokens. Nice work!
A hidden gem in Danger Zone, ha! Very cool little game with interesting gameplay, fun levels and humor in the narrative. Had to really worry for that bottle of wine!
The graphics are FANTASTIC!! I love the art and humor. Pretty neat concept too. Hard as heck tho.
Part of it could be it felt cropped oddly on my screen. I felt like I wasn't seeing everything. But I really dig this one!
What a wonderful customer! 🐸 This was mostly fun, just felt a bit too slow sometimes. Music is nice. I like the low-key diegetic audio. Character is super cute and the challenges were fun. Especially liked the one where you had to start from the screen before to get it right on the next one. Overall cool!
Nice idea, and fun little game. I can't imagine where to find tokens) Score "-661" xD Get me feelings of playing old flash games)

I found only one frog. The gameplay was easy to learn and I can appreciate the effort put into drawing ones own graphics. I would like however for the controlls to be a little bit more tight. Also the music (while interesting) got too repetetive.

i did a second run but was unable to find any frog token :(
i liked the simple gameplay, but the controls were a bit odd since i had to stop accelerating in order to switch lane. also, if the camera followed the bottle on x axis it'd be easier on some last levels in my opinion.
however, nice game overall, i liked the art and the sounds!
I love the graphics, and the gameplay is interesting, though a bit hard, and the patterns of enemies were sometimes unexpected, but I made it to the end, even though my final score was -299 xD
-75 and I enjoyed every minute of it
Nice game. Well done pixelart and fine mood. 5 for gfx and fun.
Really cool graphics and fun idea :-)
Graphics are very cute. I like the unique gameplay and the fact you're trying to manage your velocity to not smash the bottle if you run into something. The flick-screen camera is also an interesting touch, though it occasionally made it a bit difficult to foresee enemies' locations/patterns. Overall I enjoyed this one!
Controlling the wine trolley is super satisfying, I like the way it accelerates! The level music fits well with the art style and is quite catchy. Why does one of the chefs have no arms?? I liked that the "tutorial" was the first screen, once you got past that, you knew all you needed to about the controls and the 2 layers of of gameplay for the game loop! This is a great idea and well-implemented too!
