You start simple and are panicking to figure out what to do, but when you figure it out, you can ace it every time (since you can just read the first letter of each component of the order and press that key).

It's great that you don't need to memorize the key combinations but can tell by the order name.

I loved first was concerned of using a QWERTZ keyboard for this QWERTY game, but it turned out fine, since the words all corresponded to the buttons.

Things like a timer to display time left in cooking, art and other stuff.\n\nBut at it's base, I think this is a fantastic game. I think it would be better themed as a cash register operator taking order through drive through. Maybe you would have to interpret what the customer is saying rather than being given the exact thing to punch as I found it a tiny bit easy because all the letters corresponded (which is a great decision, just made it a bit easier to remember and play)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":871246,"author_name":"Alexaur","author_uid":"alexaur","epoch":1665038101,"text":"I feel like I could play this for a very long time, haha.
