fun game! huge flaw though now i desperately crave some pizza. at first i was waiting by the ovens for a while but then soon realized pizzas just need to enter and exit them, not stay for a while (is that correct? was I cheating?). reminded me of overcooked but the way i was playing it...something something undercooked. good job!!

This was addicting. It was devious of you to put the kitchen out of view of the dining room so I had to actually work to remember what to make. (In a good way).

It took me a second to realize I had to get the pizza dough so I kept trying to some some poor dude bacon and peppers on a slab of cheese, but after I figured it out it became a fun little game of 'serve this one, memorize that one, etc". I played for quite a while, fun!

Nice game! Like niksg stated, you don't actually have to let the pizzas cook in the oven. There is also no fail state that I noticed, which means you can take as much or as little time to make the pizzas as you'd like.

I made a food-making game too, so I had to play yours! At first I didn't realize I could go through doors and then that pizzas needed dough, but once I figured that stuff out, it was smooth sailing. Sometimes hard to tell what toppings exactly are on a pizza.

This is really cute. I was stressed at first when I didn't know when the pizza was done, but then I just gave into it and had fun.

Really liked the music and the art style! I got fairly panicked when I couldn't remember an order and had to rush back to check. Overall decent game :)

@niksg Oh my goodness, I'm not sure why the timer on the oven isn't working currently. I promise it used to. ;) BUT no, you were not cheating. I just did not take the time to make the oven required... LOL Thanks for playing!

@Burgee 10/10 review. You made me laugh! Thank you for playing, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I enjoy picking up only black olives and watching them magically float above my head.

@pparadigm I noticed quite a few people did food-making games! I'm on a quest to play and rate them all! :) Yours was so cute, by the way. <3 It is difficult sometimes to tell what is on a pizza. I'm sure I could find a clearer way for orders to be placed. Thanks for the input!

I love time management games! Even though there was no timer or constant flow of customers, I still played the game as if there was one. I didn't even notice the oven timer. I put together a pizza, put it in the oven, started another order and took the first pizza out to serve while the other one cooked. LOL 😄. I would say a nice song would've added a nice touch to bring it in. It also took me a while to realize the dough and oven was needed. Great game!

Always appreciate a solid working game. I had similar minor issues as the other commenters, but once I realized I wasn't doing anything wrong, the game was fun. I too rushed around trying to play the game as fast as possible like I was timed :). My game isnt a food based one, but its a simple, unique way to fly. I would appreciate if you checked it out! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/aerowrit-textflight-sim

Fun and cute game, mu daughter also enjoyed it and played to the end.
It took a while to understand that the ovens didn't have to get ready, just in and out.
Some nice music on this and progression would made it an awesome game.
My one complaint I guess is that I don't see how this fits the theme off LD41? This is quite a common game genre.

I found it fun and challengeing to remember what pizzas where ordered. I was actually pretty hillarious to see the avatar run out of the kitchen with pepper and bacon to see what was ordered :D. Only criticism I have is that sometimes it gets hard to see if there is for example pepper on an order with many ingredients, the ingredients should, IMO, stand out more from each other so that they don't blend together which would make the "remember this order" more fair so to speak. Other than that, this is a fun entry!
