Made me rage :P The days went for too long. And I was unsure how to make a sandwhich. Also, because you couldnt make 2 of the same thing at the same time, made it a little difficult

Manual was shown to me 5 times. After that game stareted. Nice idea but a bit unbalanced. Move forward. :-) Great work. Like the graphics

Love the idea! Maybe I did something wrong though, because I couldn't understand how the coffee worked. I had many angry coffee buyers. :)

Good fun to play, and I got that great feeling of accomplishment once I had the hang and could prepare lots of things at the same time. The daytime effect at the top was a really nice touch.

nice start for a game, i can see pushing the graphics and animation more to make it really engaging

Good game, liked the idea of it. Couldn't figure out how to make sandwiches and most of the coffee drinkers didnt ask for sugar or cream but it seemed like it made me put it in?

Anyway, it was fun and a nice little game.

Really difficult to figure out how to play properly - even just having to mash the mouse button to get past the newspaper screen.

VERY long day, but in the end I was hired! Interesting take on the food-making genre.

Cool idea, it could be very much fun with a few modifications (in my opinion):
- Tutorial. I needed some minutes to understand what to click in which sequence. I also was not able to create a sandwhich
- Much shorter days. It feels so repetitive without any success of finishing a day.
Keep on the good work.
Cool music and sound effects. Have you played the song on your guitar?

Great game, I remember playing a lot of games like this so i picked it up really quick but with a proper tutorial level you could get newer player to this style of game comfortable with the gameplay concept!

Great game. I liked that the game got some difficult as the day progressed. The graphics were not great, but they were fitting to the current mood.

I found it easy enough that I was waiting for customers. Customers also stacked on each other, and I couldn't clear mess up orders. But overall really fun and pretty polished. Great job! It was all worth the Woo Hoo in the end haha

Pretty good game, although I was totally confused as to what was going on for the first few minutes. Once I got the hang of it, it became really easy. I gave up playing after a while, how long is a day? It felt like forever, probably because the orders came in so slow. Was a very enjoyable game though!

Good game! Very polished graphics, good tutorial, nice game play. Nice that you added sounds! Keep it up.

Fun to challenge yourself to get orders faster and remember more. Would be interesting to have multiple difficulties where the number of orders increases, perhaps appearing after you beat the game once. A progress bar on how far you are would be nice too

I would like more stress with this game please =) More customers and more ordering options would make this much much better, I got the hang of it fairly quickly, and after that it lacked challenge. Apart from that it was really great!

Complex mechanics for a jam game, not bad!

@DanielSnd hilarious. You have some very valid criticisms there. Thanks for playing and making a video.

This was pretty fun to play. I was confused at first but got the hang of it quickly, just like a real job. Good work!

A nice game with a good mood (the background noises were great)! The game was somewhat short so things could've gotten a bit more hectic to add challenge. But I did enjoy it and got the job!

Wooooohooooooo! Hired ;) But man, that was stressful! Had a really hard time keeping everyone's orders straight. Felt like the day went a little long. Would prefer shorter rounds with maybe some kind of scoring mechanic to add some replayability, but super solid entry!

Loads of fun it got tough a little but still great fun.

Wow, I'm impressed that the frustration of the days when I had this kind of job could be duplicated so perfectly. I rated it high for 'fun' because it's a fun game despite the soul crushing nature of the subject matter. This is a game ripe for expansion! Great job!

@BeardoGames I think your feedback is my favorite so far :D Thanks everyone for all of the awesome feedback you have given us.

I like the concept but I feel the execution could use some work. I was not sure how to start the game and once in game I was not sure what to do. I feel like some more feedback for the player could help them understand what is going on. For example on the main menu scale the hiring graphic on mouse hover. In the game maybe create icons for completed orders and force the player to drag this over to the customer. This changes the experience and so may be undesirable, however it does give the player an understanding of what they are doing.

Nice, different take on the theme. Solid game mechanic. Nix the tutorial, but make the game play itself more intuitive. Enjoyed the music and concept.

The classified section s was a nice touch. Very much like cook serve delicious. I think it solid entry. With a little more help teaching us how to make the different foods and deliver them the game would be even better. Good job.

Cool game. Loved how simple you kept it in terms of interface. I did get a little cumbersome with multiple customers.

The interface could have been made more intuitive, but this seemed like a lot to make for only three days so good job.
