Moving around was really difficult, having to dispense 3 without having the dustbin nearby felt like a slog, and it would have been nice to have a transparent text reminder to "make your first order's recipe" or "fight back the ghouls of meals past". But it also had its charm. Might have been easier as a top-down game. Also needed a crosshairs and a bigger selection hitbox than 5 tiny pixels.

Hey man, love the restaurant vibe of this game! The dinner area was very cool to walk around in, and from the images this gamed looked super super promising! I like the idea of looping as a cook at a restaurant and being stuck in this never ending loop to survive. Only feedback I would give is the sensitivity, (sadly almost unplayable if you have a regular computer sensitivity), a tutorial, and maybe some more aspects to give it more depth as a game. It was a little hard to understand everything I was supposed to do and left me just feeling lost. With some more time and playtesting from other people I know this can be even better. Great work!

So main issue first, the camera sensitivity is WAY too low, it's simply too hard too hard to play the game right, but I tried as much as I could, I unfortunately messed up the main order I had which was 6 ingredients and stacking all the food on the shelves was hard but cool, I like that you always have far more than you need which means you have to be quick at putting things in the bin, changing to night time and having green glowing ingredients jump at me was funny too, and creative! I wish I could play more but it's too hard with camera movement but I at least see most of the vision with the game and it seems really cool, very good work!
