1. During the tutorial, I put my stuff on my own plate and my coworkers put their stuff on a different plate. I had to redo the work once I noticed
2. I think I need a coworker to serve the meal? If I put it in front of the customer they don't like it
3. I need a safe place to learn this game without all my coworkers being eaten and the game ending. I really struggled to figure out this pizza recipe. It would be great to be able to practice each prep step and ingredient before the danger starts.
Other than those issues, I thought it was super! Great audio and graphics. I'm impressed by how much you got done, congrats!!
Could have also used a bit more tutorial, especially on how to deliver the completed food to the customer. I figured out how to do it eventually, but only after trying to deliver it directly to him, which broke the game as I could not pick up anything after that
Difficulty-wise, this is pretty overwhelming at first, with so many recipes and ingredients available at once. And as I'm trying to wrap my head around the options, the monster eats my assistant chefs?! That's a brutal negative spiral.
The assistant chefs are a really cool innovation though, allowing you to do an Overcooked-style game solo!
