Easy controls, either by clicking or keyboard input. Kinda like the simple aspect of building and preparing the burgers.

Noooo! I poisoned people ;_; I wish we could throw away some burnt burgers, it would make more sense! Overall, a fun game with decent UI. Thank you!

"Are you trying to poison me?" - seems so :D

If at some point you would be able to replace the buttons with actual actions like pickup and drop stuff that would greatly improve the game.

Anyway enjoyed the game!

This game has solid mechanics that could be presented in a better way. At first, I couldn't figure out how to add lettuce since I thought "remove lettuce" meant like thrashing it completely. After that I had a fun time doing like a mini speed run of the fastest burgers.
A lot of these cooking games have multitasking as a core element of their game play so if you're going to patch this game, I recommend making the patties cook slower and making a queue for orders. That way, the player is rewarded for precooking patties with a faster order time.
Still, I enjoyed the randomized messages upon delivering an order and hope to see this game evolve more in the future!

I am only saying: "I will tell the health food inspector about it!" :-DD

Very interesting little game! I feel like there is some way to balance the cadence of the game such that the burgers come together more effectively in a rhythm. I think there's something really powerful about the gameplay though and I'd love to see you expand it. Also recommend adding the ability to customize the button shortcuts, as I found my left hand getting very tired.
