I really loved the concept and simplicity of this! Even though the graphics were fairly simple, the gameplay felt, to me, slightly addicting (I couldn't stop going for a little while haha). The mechanics did feel a little off (pizzas needing 500 degrees which was hard to keep unless leaving the door closed meant I'd just lose a bunch of other orders) and the RNG on the materials available felt a little bit unlucky sometimes. If fleshed out a bit more this could be a lovely little high-score-arcade-like game!

@kepsert Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Made it until 1027$! Overall fun and hectic, and once I got the hang of it I could deliver most orders. I kept it at 500 degrees though and managed the heat by opening the oven only, not sure that's how it's supposed to be but I felt smart :-)

Cool concept! A bit too difficult for me but I was happy vibing to the music anyways. Nice work!

After a number of failed attempts, I followed @bernhard's strategy a found some success. I enjoyed the experience overall, a nice intuitive gameplay loop is also a great thing. For a small observation, the hitbox for the trash can (while it makes sense logically) caused me to waste a handful of precious time as I would drag it to the trash can as a whole instead of the top of it.

Nice game! I like the idea and the gameplay felt really nice! It does take a bit of a learning curve to be able to survive more than one round of orders though. I think it would be nice if we had a bit more time or starting money to fulfill order, especially at the beginning? Or maybe that is just me being absolutely terrible at this...

Imagine doing this with 3 kids around... Grandma was hardcore! Very fun game and concept, and actually addicting. At some point I had like 7 orders at the same time and just accepted I was never gonna win that run. IMO the hitboxes could be a little bit bigger, specially for trashing things, it would help a lot. Again, great concept and execution, congrats!

Neat game! Something about the music/sounds/pace felt very hectic (but in a good way) and really got me immersed in trying to get the meals done and not burn too much. As others have mentioned the small-ish hitboxes (both the trash and the delivery counter) gave me a bit of trouble but once I got used to them it was fun to try to optimize oven temperatures and when to put in/take out various items.
