Good game, looks like you put a lot of effort into it! This cannot have been easy to accomplish in a short time! But how do you balance the drink? I kept watching my tray tilt, almost in slow motion, waiting for the inevitable...

Hi! It should work with the mouse buttons (LMB and RMB) :)

Very nice game. It reminds me a lot of a minigame in Wii Fit U called Dessert Course just with a fantasy twist.

The two biggest problems I had with this game was the lighting as some areas were really dark, and the interactions as it didn't always work unless I was standing in a particular spot.

Overall, it's a really fun game with just a few minor issues, but I'm extremely impressed at what you guys managed to make in around 2 weeks.

Great game, one of my favorite so far!

I had some difficulty aiming, like a lot of the time I was looking at the customer but wasn’t in range to press E, and had trouble finding the right place to stand.

That, and maybe the time limit is too harsh? Like maybe running out of time should be a penalty but not full Game Over. (but actually now that i’m saying it, what would be the Game Over condition then… hm, i dunno).

I really enjoyed the little fairy-tale-world details, like a cupful of octopus :D

I also had your idea with balancing stuff on a plate! I find your approach for balancing the plate really interesting, did not think of it at all

Great Job!

Fun game that is quick to get into. Main advice is to make it more obvious which customer you should serve to as like the other person mentioned I didn't even realize there was an upstairs and the dark lightning made it hard to track whoever had their hand up. The interaction system was also a bit finicky I would have to move around a bunch to get the option to hand off the drink. Great work though, it's a good use of the theme!

Very creative idea for a game and great atmosphere, my only advice was that it was a bit confusing at first, its quite dark and I didnt realize there was an upstairs until I had already failed. Great job!
