Might be a bit of a skill issue on my end too! But seriously, great idea and interpretation, really enjoyed it!

I have so much more respect for service personnel after playing this and will start tipping better!

Developer

I am sure they will be very grateful for that. Thanks for playing :>

hehe im bad in this :D But fits the Theme nice :)

I was so unbelievably bad at the game, that I'm pretty sure I should never be a waiter in this lifetime.  The pixel art is cute, fun and definitely suits the concept of the game! I really like that the waiter got hurt over time (though I felt bad since it was my fault...)

Developer

At least you gave it a shot. I would say its not the easiest or most intuitive game from the get go and getting used to the controls is a challenge in itself. Thank you a lot for trying it out. Im pretty sure our artist will be very happy to hear that you enjoyed the art a lot :>

Love how the waiter gets noticably more stressed looking by the minute :) Fun little game. Good job!

This was funny haha :D 

Love the artstyle and movement :D Had a blast!!

Developer(+1)

Genuinely, thank you very much. It makes me happy knowing that you had a blast :D

Hahaa, I really love how the waiters appearance gradually changes! such a fine detail

Submitted(+1)

SO FUN!

Submitted(+1)

That was funny. But now I know I don't want to be a waiter ;)

I like the concept, altough it would nice if there would be some timer or other goal, visiting hospital every time is a little bit discouraging  :)

Developer

We thought about different endgame goals and with the 48h time limit we decided a high score, arcade like experience would work the best. One though that came up was having stages more reminiscent of larger levels, but that wasn't feasible and realistic in that time frame. Appreciate the feedback, happy you gave it a shot :>

well that was wild :D

After playing this my fingers are kaputt xD Fun Game!

Really fun game with charming pixel art! :-)

I like how the waiter gets visually more and more hurt when getting hit! Also, really nice to have so many control options.

Developer(+1)

We tried to accommodate for everyone with the controls. And yeah, I love the sprites as well that our artist created for the waiter.

Im happy to hear that you had fun with it :>

Submitted

Really interesting concept! I enjoyed the tension of waiting for something to happen, and the atmosphere was spot on. Great work!

As a waiter. I can confirm this is legit

Submitted(+1)

Damn that's not the kind of restaurant I'd like to work where you get swords and elderly people thrown at you while serving drinks.

I had a lot of problems with the keyboard controls but mouse worked fine.

Overall great game with a matching style!

Developer

We tried to give as many control schemes as possible, in playtesting everyone preferred different layouts. I personally am a huge fan of the twin stick layout, but we had just as many who liked mouse controls or controling the game entirely with the keyboard. 

Thank you a lot :>

Thank you :>

Very nice idea! However being stuck with a half broken jug doesn't let me deliver it.

Developer

That's odd. I have not had that happen yet. Are you and the mug both in the delivery zone?

Submitted(+1)

Really good work! The text reminded me of Banjo-Kazooie. Definitely gave me a nostalgic feeling. The idea and physics are really funny, though it gets quite tricky when objects start piling up on the tray. The art, music, and sounds all fit together nicely. Well done!

Submitted(+1)

Wonky physics is awesome :) Visuals are also great.
