I feel like I'm going crazy because every round (and I only played the first two) I would count them exactly, but the number I got at the end would be 10-15 off. I triple checked the description for how much each type were worth, so I have no idea what happened. I even got someone else to try it on my laptop, and they got the same issue too. I thought it was a really cool concept, though, and I wish I could've played more!
One little super graphic design-y suggestion I have is to limit the number of fonts you use. At one point there were five on screen at the same time (item name, the in-game instructions, "skip dialogue" button, character name, and the dialogue). I like the idea of using typefaces for character's dialogue, but it might be easier to read if just their name was different— that way you have the same characterization effect, but the body text isn't super varied size and style-wise. This mostly is to help with legibility, especially in larger chunks of text like dialogue and instructions. Consolidating your fonts down into a smaller group (e.g. one heading, one subheading, and one body text) has a similar effect and makes you text seem a lot more cohesive across the multiple screens. I specifically enjoyed the handwritten pixel-y font with the drop shadow used for the onscreen instructions!

Hi, thanks for playing and your feedback! I agree with you on the font choices, I can be a lot at times
I think what happened is that you counted the customers as they were entering the screen and not as they were entering the door. Otherwise I have no explanation for what happened, you are the only person with this problem so far. We will look into it, thank you!
Could very well be the case!! I wouldn't be surprised if a certain sleep deprived duck might have gotten a formula or line of code mixed up here and there.... Didn't notice anything during testing, but I'm sorry it seemed to happen to you! We'll look into it after the rating period, thank you for the hint!! :D
