But the gun would be more effective if you could kill, or force angry customer to go back to table with it. If you just use it to keep them away from the exit you wont be able  to serve other customers anyway"},{"author_name":"thejash","author_uid":"52268","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 8:13am","epoch":1429690080,"text":"This was really fun! The plate gun wasn't very useful, though, so I stopped using it at all -- it would have been nice if we could knock unhappy customers out of their seats and make them reset, or prevent unhappy customers shot with plate gun from destroying your restaurant's rating. But overall, fun and great sound :)"},{"author_name":"KirbiKaka","author_uid":"35365","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 8:23am","epoch":1429690680,"text":"The game is really smooth; I think that's my favorite thing about it. Everything from the movement to the way the food plates kind of just fly onto your tray is awesome!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think in a lot of ways the base gameplay was good enough to just be built off that. I was a little confused about how to use the plate gun. At first, I hoped that hitting the customers would delay their impatience with me, but it didn't seem to do that, so I didn't really find a good use for the plate gun (even though I guess it can delay people from getting to their tables). That said, it was still pretty fun to just shoot it around at people and see all the little pieces of plate left behind!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think it would have been really cool to see some sort of progression \/ scaling in the game as well! I played for a while, but it didn't seem that the number of customers increased over time nor did their patience time decrease. Even just displaying how many skater dollars you've earned or how long you've been playing is a cool way to give the player feedback!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>All in all, the game is really fun to play and looks really nice :]! I think y'all put a fair amount of time into the details and it feels really polished!"},{"author_name":"iSamurai","author_uid":"24851","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 9:41am","epoch":1429695360,"text":"Nice game!
