Superb polish for the graphics and music.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Unfortunately the physics are wonky when trying to put the items onto the tray. Seems there's no way to save things from dropping off your tray when you press E to collect them. And the quick time event for tapping the mouse buttons was a bit annoying."},{"author_name":"zkenshin","author_uid":"12839","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 3:36am","epoch":1387337460,"text":"Really nifty idea.

Didn't make it once to collect all the dishes :( \r<br\/>A Strange bug before every run: after walking a few steps to the first table, the character started spinning himself on a random axis, leaving me upside down with my head on the floor. While this happened, I was asked to left\/right click like 5-8 times. After that everything went back to normal with my feet on the floor. Happened before every run (&quot;party&quot;-level).
