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 ?
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 =)
Beautiful art! I was fascinated by the game, although one of my tables broke down and I couldn't interact with it (
Great job!
I find the screen shake a little disorienting, maybe can use it a bit less, only for more important stuff.
I understand why the blobfish Steve is so sad.
- 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
To answer your question, I was actually inspired by old retro games. But you're right, there are some SpongeBob vibes :)
