I love this.  There are so many great, smaller games that don't get the attention they deserve.  Itch is great at showcasing these.  Itch allowed me to get my cooking game in front of a few hundred people and has really given me the motivation to continue working on it.  In short, this place is the best.  Here is what I've been spending my time on:

This game started as my Ludum Dare 42 entry and after getting some positive feedback I decided to make it a full game.  Working on it for 6 months has taught me so much about game dev that I didn't know.  I'm currently in the process of adding couch co-op to the game and hope to have an update that includes that in the next week. 


The thought behind it, is that you get to pick what kind of food your restaurant sells.  The more unique items you are capable of making, the more customers well spend on your food, allowing you to complete challenges faster.  It's a balancing act though, because the more recipes customers can order, the harder the game gets.  I have really enjoyed making it and I hope you enjoy playing it.

Great to see another Ludum Dare participant here in this threads! First off, I absolutely the pitch of your game, and immediately sent it to the rest of the team.

I gave it a quick go before commenting and I must say that I am already having a whale of a time! I was expecting an Overcooked x Management type of experience where you have to try and optimize your kitchen as much as possible and definitely did not came out of it disappointed, it's exactly as I expected it to be! Chaotic, challenging and with a management twist to it. 

I'm already looking forward for the full version of this. You're doing a fantastic job and I'm amazed at the amount of content that you've put in so far.  Congratulations! 🐳

Thanks for posting. I'm also glad to see a Ludum Dare participant. Fun fact: when I first launched itch.io, the Ludum Dare community was where I shared it (on their old wordpress system). I added your game to the Not seen at GDC  collection (which will be up on the homepage shortly).
