Oh crap!

Doctors have informed you your snare arm has suffered extreme damage! You'll never be able to drum again!

Well, what do doctors know anyways?!

While it heals, you'll need some extra cash. Cooking seems appropriate!

Of course, you only get one arm... but no big deal! Rack up the cash and party hard!

PLEASE USE GOOGLE CHROME.

If I had more time, I could make it work better on Firefox. Just use chrome, please!

Good game. Nice items are hard to handle, like the spatula, because it's not immediately clear where the actual cursor is. Nice difficulty, really made me feel like an one armed chef in a busy day.

Wow you did awesome with the graphics! This feels way too much like job though... D:
I would consider placing more emphasis on reward and satisfaction over challenge and difficulty... But that's just my theory anyway :3

Great graphics, a little hard to control and a lot to remember, but I guess that IS sort of the point of the game. Still, very solid! I could see this being expanded quite easily.

Great start! It's hard having to memorize a bunch of arbitrary colors. Perhaps you could actually include text along with the progress bars so that the player can learn what each color means.

It seemed like a great idea, but the controls are a bit confusing and unintuitive : / the learning curve was so steep! But I liked it :)

Well I worked for a year in a restaurant that only served breakfast and lunch. Your game fairly accurately captured the feeling of a rush. I don't know if that is a good thing or not :p In all seriousness, I liked the fast paced gameplay, but I had a hard time putting down my spatula and knife sometimes which was really frustrating.

I think this game would vastly benefit from a touch input. Idea and style of the game is good and I like the comments of the customers afterwards. Fitting sound effects would have been great, to enhance the atmosphere.

I like it but drag and drop would've made it a lot more intuitive. Also I wasn't sure how to make French toast - over in these parts it's more often called eggy bread!

Feels like alot of content and playtime in such a short dev time! Like the graphic style you went for too. Neat!

Puts into mood of having one hand very well. I felt happy for having 2 hands as I finished playing :)

Very fun! I accidently threw good meal in the trash :D It's fun just to mess around and try to make something on your own, without reading how to play. Also cool story. Nice game length. Great job man!

Nicely done! It was pretty tough meeting the orders quickly but I found I did get better at it as I progressed.

I dont like this type of graphics, but that's probably just my opinion. I enjoyed the game !

Good game, really impressed with the way it looks and plays. struggeling with the spatula and the knife and, the mouse clicks acted slowly but apart from that the control was good. Impressive amount of work done for 48 hours.

It was a bit hard learning all the recipes by heart, but I got the hang of it. Taught me something
