I like the animated customers, and the background music and placement SFX were really well done and hew to the restaurant theme. As for gameplay, I found myself frustrated by not having a lot to do once the tables were laid out. It's a lot of watching the simulation play out, which is interesting, but I was bummed I couldn't interact with my setup. I was also unsure if I was winning or losing at given point. But it's definitely got a cool vibe!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":990601,"author_name":"BinayaS","author_uid":"binayas","epoch":1696290776,"text":"Neat idea of using the theme of limited space.\n\nI think you could have made the space inside a bit bigger and added some levels with forced obstacles to engage the player a bit more.
