Don't show this to a perfectionist!

I like QWOP and surgeon simulator games, so this was fun to mess around with. I never managed to get the progress bar above half way though -- sometimes I thought I had a good recipe but it still dinged me as "bad"; not sure what I was missing. The music was perfectly on point with the gameplay!

Feels like that octodad game in terms of physics :D

I think that the overall playing field should be bigger, because sometimes when I clicked serve, it detected some other food that was barely touching the "plate" and would ruin the order.

Overall pretty fun though^^

ha ha .. way to hard to control but it was very funny. It is exactly I would imagine how it turns out if I was in a fast food restaurant as 'the chef' .. top on humor!

So good ! After a bit of concentration I managed to get the hang of it and it was just so much fun and very satisfying to finish ! The graphics are so good, and the vibe is so perfect, very well done ! I loved it so much!

Super hectic, but fun. You could do a lot with this if you lean into the party game aspect of it: multiplayer, themes (different styles of food, etc.).

It's funny to imagine yourself really preparing food in any way :laughing:

One of my favorite game until now

THe graphics, physics and sound are very nice though!

Cute and chaotic! I’m really impressed by the presentation. Finding time for audio is one thing, making it actually sound nice is another, but also creating a mute button for it is on another level! I’d like some of your time management skills..

Dang, I am bad at this game. After what felt like 5 minutes I was finally able to complete an order correctly lol Even though I was frustrated I wanted to keep playing because the vibes were so hilarious and wholesome. Fits the theme spot on and the audio really added to the chaos.

It took me a while to figure out that the items outlined in brown were being served, and that the meal didn't have to be assembled to be considered complete. If you decide to add on to this game in the future, a tutorial might eliminate some confusion for new players.

I checked out your itch page and have to say that the art style of all your games is so quirky and amazing. Keep up the good work!

The art, music, and tone of the game all match perfectly. Jokey games with horns playing in the background are just a perfect match :laughing:

It's good that the difficulty goes up when you miss orders due to the area getting cluttered with ingredients, I think the game was at its most fun when I was flinging lots of stuff around the screen at once.

I like the gameplay as it is, but I think there's also room to build on it with more recipes and more physics objects interfering with the player if you want to keep up development on the game :smile:

Great stuff here!

I was hoping to make a VR conversion of it (I've been doing this since last LDjam to make up for the lack of virtual reality entries) but your source code is literally just code and not a full Unity project like I was expecting haha.

Oh well, fun ideas here for sure! :)

Man, I really wanted to love this one but the physics are just too loosey goosey. I realize the point is to be difficult to put things together and it's supposed to look slapdash, but it's a bit too loose. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and the premise is fantastic, but I just can't help but wish the controls were a bit better so I could feel like I'm actually playing the game instead of just hoping things go my way.

Had a fun time trying to make some burgers

I tried making the burgers normally and was thinking dam this is really hard. But then I realized they wanted speed not accuracy lol, then i started pumping out orders.

Well done, this game looks and plays great!

fun idea and the graphics and sound were good. I do wish the controls were a little less floaty and wild though.

I suspect this was the intent, but the controls were incredibly frustrating! I think the 10 second timer worked against you in this case. Either cleaner controls or a 30 second timer would have made this excellent. Great job for the compo though!

At first I was struggling like the others to make the perfect burger. But then I realized I just had to put it somehow together and enjoyed it a lot! I even got the cup with 'Great job'. Awesome entry!

This was a great idea for the theme! Super chaotic fun XD I found it really hard in the beginning to finish any order at all, because the ingredients kept flying all over the place when I picked them up. After some time I figured out that just flinging them to the middle works way better than actually picking them up and moving them there. I managed to beat the game in the end :D

The only thing that was a bit unclear to me was when an order passed or failed. Sometimes I had a (in my eyes) correct order, which the game thought was wrong. Perhaps there were some extra ingredients in the order that I did not spot (like some extra sauce)?

Amazingly done! This was a lot of fun! :D
