Fun frycook game, the outsider looking art is cool, it would be cool if the order showed a picture the color of the fried food level but cool game all round.

pretty solid game. fun art style and very satisfying sound effects. like another commenter said, i wish the order ticket showed a picture of the correct frying level so it's more easily identifiable

Really good job in making this an intuitive experience. I automatically moved the fryers and just had fun poking around. The one thing I had to back out and figure out was the receipt having to go with the food order. Very immersive overall.

What a great game & great sound effects. Love that customers want deeper and deeper fried items. Spot on with the theme! Great job!

Pretty fun game idea. I like it a lot. Graphics are unique, sound effects also nice. Controls are also pretty okay after figuring out cryptic tutorial image. Pacing and rewards are issue. Even if order was of 5 french fries it still gave same 1 coin amount as 1 french fries. Also only 2 items were cooking inside the fryer it is good limiting factor but when orders are on scale of 5 burgers and 5 french fries it becomes not fun. There is no expiry of order so far i have played which makes me to not finish orders faster, which i think is quite boring. Also if order was wrong then customer just take the different order and run they dont even pay me for that order or return it, damn. I would really love to see this become a full game someday with issues fixed.

I had to stop playing as it was making me hungry!

Game idea is fun, though I did get into a state where I was waiting a (seemingly) very long time with no customer to fill. Agreed that it took a bit to figure out where the order had to go.

Playing with a trackpad, it was a bit difficult to drop the items into the tray - would be cool if I could drag the basket and drop them from there too?

Really fun game, cool art, quite easy to understand, and after a while when large orders start piling up you can really start to feel deep in the rush !

Incredible game. The art is interesting and well-made, and the sound design is just brilliant, I absolutely love it. Maybe it doesn't fit the theme a little bit, but otherwise, this game is a solid winner for me.

Love the concept, and it was executed brilliantly. It's all the methodical desk management of Papers Please, but without the depressing atmosphere, and with a little less time pressure. It was a little hard to figure out how to fill orders at first-- specifically, I didn't realize that the tabs at the top were the receipts for a while. (A tutorial customer would probably be a good addition.) Besides that, it was a really good, almost zen experience.

I didn't expect to enjoy working in fast food frying food for customers. Thank you for changing my mind. Nice graphics and sound :)

Cool game, and fun art! It did take me a long time to figure out the frying rate though...

Good game! I never thought of "deep fried" when brainstorming the "Deeper and Deeper" theme! Nice take!

I typically don't read instructions, and prefer/expect the games to teach me in game. So I wasn't sure where to put the food and give it to customers... I looked at the hand drawn instructions (that's actually pretty cool), they helped a bit, but I'm a terrible fry cook lol

Other than an in game tutorial (we could have a really crappy manager explain the game), I think I'd like to see it speed up a little sooner. There were times where I was waiting for orders and it felt off.

Good job overall!
