A Game of puns :D Actually laughed a couple of time while seeing what I was about to serve to my clients! Surprised they gave me tips for bringing cat soup to the table, but anyway... ;)

Sometimes the validation can feel a bit off regarding what the characters initially asked for, but other than that, funny little entry.

Such a silly idea. I watched it on two streams, and think it is a very interesting concept. Love the attention to details with the food descriptions.

I had to laugh a lot about that (win) ending, didn't expect that :D
But that one person was impossible to serve... so I gave him 4 times the same dessert.
Theme was very well adapted, I like it!

Very cool game. The art is great, and it's very well polished! Nice work!

My only negative comment/FYI is that it seems to be coded to force full screen at start up, instead of a standard Unity 'pick your resolution' - which did cause me some issue with UI being cut off on an ultrawide monitor. But that's no biggy, just a small technical thing. The game itself is really well done, fun, and funny! Great job!

Its an interesting game, and the concept of running out of table space is not bad. I also liked the abundance of references. Overall, nicely done.

@ekilibr - Glad you appreciated the puns in our meh-sterpiece!

@saoi-games - Thank you! Glad you liked it! ^^

@matzetoni - Thank you for playing it till the very end! Hope it was worth it! Guests are generated randomly, so yeah, there might be some tricky customers! But we had no time to limit the amount of dishes from the same category, so that's a way to win ;)

@redhermit - Glad you liked it, thank you for the compliments! The game is made on Unreal Engine, and not Unity, so it's tricky to do this starter you are talking about, it has to be done manually, and we, sadly, ran out of time for it ^^'

@darylsteak - Thank you, hope you enjoyed playing it! The worst he gets from this dinner is not heart-, only, heh, punic attack ;)

@cristihkj - Thank you very much!

I like this! Though a few things aren't clear, like I wasn't sure what was "pastry" or not. Still though, really original game.

Very original idea and nice use of the theme. The mechanics work really well and it is a pleasure to put together those meals with the restricted table space. The visuals and music are also great and really set the mood of being in a restaurant. The game is just a really nice package overall and seems pretty polished. Good job overall!
