Hi, I like the bikini bottom feeling and the relaxing music. It would be cool to have a little counter of how well I'm doing. Maybe a little cash register on the counter-table. Or a bowl with tips that fills up. In any case, no HUD because I like that there isnt anything superimposed on the game. Great Job!

Graphically impressive game, thought it was a jam game made by a group at first ! The music is very nice too. It's a bit confusing to play however. The game doesn't give a lot of infos to its player, I can't really tell how to get the food to the table, nor if the customers liked their food. Very good packaging but a bit hard to play due to this. Still licking this entry.

It reminds me of an old SpongeBob Squarepants flash game my sister used to play where you had to serve customer in Mr Krabs restaurant. Is it inspired by this ?

Very good game in compo! It is hard to make by one person, good job!

Such a cool idea! =)

I didn’t really understand why my waiter fish didn’t want to take and deliver orders( The customers were unhappy with me =)

The art is awesome =)

Very cute art and idea! I found it a bit distressing that when I clicked on things, the camera was shaking. It made me feel like I was messing up but im pretty sure I was playing right. Great job!

When I saw the art, the Freddi Fish game immediately came to mind😁

Beautiful art! I was fascinated by the game, although one of my tables broke down and I couldn't interact with it (

Great job!

Cool art style, but it lacks a proper tutorial.

cool relax game, I dont know why, but I try my best to serve all clients. Got sum bug after 5 min of playing, but it's still nice graphic and music game.Screenshot 2025-04-09 031405.png

Love the fishes! They are too cute. Reminds me of the restaurant management games I played as a kid, simple and fun old times. I find the screen shake a little disorienting, maybe can use it a bit less, only for more important stuff.

I think my customers had the worst restaurant experience of their fish life but at least they were vibing over the music. Great job !

Funny game, the art is very beautiful, it was hard for me to keep up with everyone. I understand why the blobfish Steve is so sad.

Relaxing game, the background music sure sold the resturant vibe. I enjoyed playing the game despite the lack of consequences if you give them wrong order or let them wait too long in the line, or too long for their food. The art is really great, so keep up the good work in the future!

Chill game, there are some things I really enjoyed: - art style is pleasing - background music is calm, so even when I failed almost all my customers' orders I felt good :upside_down: - there is highlighting when I interract with something - intuitive controls #### What can be improved - sometimes when I interracted with food, I couldn't place it at any table, or take any new one - lack of goal (for example, give the player points for completing the orders) - maybe some UI

Простенькая прикольная игра, музыка очень добавляет атмосферы. Напомнила старую игру "Снежок обеденный переполох". Из неприятных вещей: Я взял не ту еду и не понял как её убрать. Теперь персонаж отказывается брать другие блюда. Графику тоже можно сделать лучше, в игре прям видна разнопиксельность. Для компо в соло неплохо

Hi @foolishfool! I didn't have time to add a cash register and a tip when a customer leaves. I will definitely be making changes to the game in the future. Thanks for the feedback and recommendations!

dumchevdev 2025-04-12 01:58

Hey @littlegamer, thanks so much for your feedback! I will make changes in the future, taking your advice on board, to make the game easier and clearer to play. To answer your question, I was actually inspired by old retro games. But you're right, there are some SpongeBob vibes :)

dumchevdev 2025-04-12 02:07

Thanks @xpoho! I put a lot of effort into this game, so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

dumchevdev 2025-04-12 02:25

Thanks for the feedback @mizaless! Unfortunately this bug happens from time to time. I will get rid of this bug completely in the future. I'm glad you liked my pixel art :)

Nice and chill game, I especially enjoyed the pixelart and soundtrack (though some sfx for the customers would be a nice addition). I found gameplay pretty intuitive and did not miss a tutorial or manual. Compliments to the chef!

The game has such a heartwarming vibe — seriously, I loved it. Some parts were a bit tough to keep up with, but man, it was so, so good. I really had a great time.

Very cool looking and polished vibe also with the nice music in the background. I didn't quite figure out the purpose though. At the end of the day it either said I won or lost, but that didn't seem to matter for anything so I stopped after day 3. Was there anything more to come?
