Now after playing the game that's properly working, I feel like it was a lot more of a challenge. The actual premise isn't hard (make the happy\/unhappy ratio more happy than not) but satisfying each customer was definitely a frantic rush as the line got longer and longer. I kinda really wish that each day had a pause period so I could take a break! :sweat: \n\nAlso, there is still a bug where I can spam the \"use\" key on a lane while customers weren't there and infinitely get happy customer points.\n\nAlso, there's another bug where sometimes the customer's demands don't appear in the screen. (Usually if customers leave out of order from waiting in the lane or some other line related thing, I've noticed.)\n\nStill fun and I really dig the art style on second go, now that I can read the text :P","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"falak","author_uid":"1007975","time":"2019-05-03T16:03:01Z","epoch":1556899381,"modified":1556899381,"text":"after a few days, people start to set up only in one queue and each 'E' click will cause another satisfied customer even if no customer is in the queue.
