You start over as a chef.. after dying

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Most of the code I made myself, but I also used a premade path-finding asset.

How many hours did it take  to code this game?

Developer

The code didn't take long, I'd say the game loop was done by the 2nd day, but I spent a few days play testing, refining movement and level design and cutting stuff that made harder without adding to the experience (answering phone, getting orders, delivering to tables, ordering stock, hiring help, etc). Luckily it was a very slow week at work.

Pretty incredible you remade Overcooked in a week! Nice to have a wash assistant, but it would sometimes block my way haha. I was also super afraid of the zombies klling me... until I relized I could just chop them outta existince :)

Developer

Thanks! I didn't intend to make overcooked at first, but while playtesting I started to cut stuff that made the game harder and less fun, and eventually got pretty close to overcooked without noticing.

The zombies started oscillating between zombie and complaining costumers and couldn't be killed, but when I decided to add a way to get rid of them, I had to drop the costumer sprites.

Lovely pixel art and grateful for a tutorial. Fun game!

That was definitely the most fun and intense game of all! If any of you isn't sure this is EXACTLY what working in a restaurant feels like. I felt literally the same stress as I did working. You did an amazing job capturing that. Even the annoying dishwasher that puts them in wrong places and gets in your way. Very nice pixel art, I love how the food looks. The music is also cool and fitting. Really great job :)

Nice game

Great little game, pretty cozy.  I really liked the music in this game, top tier tracks

fun game but i found the player way too fast making it way to hard to move things.

Super fun game, and I always enjoy Overcooked / Diner Dash style games like this. The movement did feel a little bit imprecise (though this may be a design decision since the ghost floats around), but it's something I quickly got used to.

fun game, love the cutscene!

The game is very charming and fun, i find the zombies pointless but i guess that's preference, the audio gets annoying at some point, nonetheless very good and creative

The pixel art is very cute! and the tutorial was nice and helpful.

Pretty good. Player movement could be a bit stiff which would give player more control over movement.

Quite fun gameplay and beginning. Was bug when you open fridge with food in your hands it disappears, but still solid.
