Very unrealistic, Since when do burgers come the way you order them?
It's a great multi-tasking game from the moment you understood that you need plates.
I had a lot of fun with it.
The art and audio is really cute.

Cats are cute 10/10. Jokes asides, this is quite a fun multi-tasking game! I played till Friday. Not sure if that's a good score or not but that will do for me. The cat is super cute, the graphics besides the cat are also very nice, and I like the art style a lot. The way you assemble the burgers is very clever and I don't think I've seen it before. It's very intuitive and makes much sense once you understand how that works. The difficulty is slowly rising which is also a nice design. Blackout is a bit annoying, but it's definitely part of that chaoticness. Overall, this is very well done! Nice work!

For some minor comments, I'd say it would be better if you also show the target amount of gold required each day so that the player can have an idea of how much you need (and how much they still need to make before game over). For the UIs, I will also suggest adding an outline to the text to make it stand out a bit. Currently, they've blended into the light yellow counter background and are quite hard to see at a glance. I would also be nice if there were audio and visual cues for time passage, especially when it's getting near the end of a day. Just to add some tension to the situation.

Anyway, this is very nice and I liked it a lot. Well done!

Love the graphics and it reminds me of those nostalgic cooking games I used to play haha I was also a bit confused with how to play, but everything else is well polished!

Super cute cooking game. I couldn't figure out at first why i can't submit the orders x)

Submitted(+1)

Nice cooking game, that being said I almost gave up at first as I had no clue how it worked. Probably try to improve the onboarding  a bit, like being more explicit with where to click to do what at first :)

really cute art

Great game! I absolutely love the art, it's so cute! The gameplay was simple, but very fun! The random events made the gameplay loop very interesting! I really liked how things got more chaotic as time went on. Assembling the orders and frantically running around the kitchen was a lot of fun! The sound design was very relaxing as well. I liked this game a lot, good job!

Absolutely love the cute art style!

Fun artstyle and sfx. I agree with some of the other comments (e.g., inventory being in the way of the dishwasher). Also wish there was an always visible counter to your ingredients so you know how many cooked burgers you have and stuff.

Sometimes my order did not want to complete even though I was very sure it was correct :(

Good entry to the jam, well done.

The visuals were very very good! I like the gameplay, very enjoyable. Good game 👍

Developer

Thanks!!! Glad you enjoyed it~

Very fun!! Love the art style & theming. I would prefer though if the dirty dishes went on your head when you grabbed them, or if the inventory was always open not in the way, as it can really interrupt the flow having to open and close the inventory to wash dishes.

Developer

thanks for the feedback! Will definitely keep that in mind for user experience!

Really fun!! Couldn't submit orders and keep playing but loved the art style and game seemed really fun :)

Developer(+1)

thanks for the feedback! Sometimes the burger might have a cheese slice which isn’t very obvious or you didn’t stack properly so maybe it was that :” regardless will def keep your advice in mind!!

Submitted(+1)

This is very cute. I found washing dishes frustrating because I couldn't see the sink when the object selection panel was open.

Submitted(+2)

The art is simply so cute and amazing but I couldn't submit the orders at the register? Is this a bug or was I doing something wrong?

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! You might have missed putting the plate at the very bottom of your order :-) There's also the cheese which isn't very obvious in the order form.

I see cat game, I play it! The art is fantastic, and the controls are simple. The Overcooked games are some of my favorites, and I really enjoyed this! Well done!

Developer(+1)

Cute game, It makes me hungry!!!

One of the Cutest game I seen in this jam, the aesthetic of the game is awesome gameplay is also quite entertaining I just go around chopping some veg and cook some meat. Wish there was more player feedback in the game cause for a large portion at the start I am just confuse at what is wrong with my order why I cant submit my order then I realized I ain't got no plate. Also wish the starting order can be much easier like just a single meat burger or something so I get use to cutting veg up and cooking meat and how to piece together my burger something like that cause the order just keep stacking and my stress goes way up very early in the game

Developer

Thank you!! Will keep that in mind :-)

Really like this game, charming art and music! How did you all interact with the register once an order was done and ready on your head?

Developer(+1)

You should be able to interact with the register once the ingredients are on your head! You might be missing the clean plate at the bottom of the order, which I think gets missed easily. The order of the ingredients also matter. Thanks for trying out our game!

Thank you! That was it.

Super cute art and pleasant gameplay. It would be nice to have some sort of undo option for misclicks ;) Overall I enjoyed my job here
