Nice art! Small bug report: the " characters in the item descriptions had encoding problems and looked weird. Maybe because I'm on a mac?

Cool game! Reminds me of Chef RPG :)  However like someone else noted, after serving my first dish everyone would leave when I pressed F, and I couldn't cook anymore meals, even after going to bed. So I didn't get to play much, but was fun running around for a bit!

I love the character!

I liked the concept idea but I think the gameplay broke for me. Whe I served the first two creatures after it the subsequent creatures would just leave if I press F on them before giving me any orders.  I did notice my money go up so I am assuming this is some bug which is causing this. Overall I like the innovative idea of serving food to sea creatures and managing wave of incoming customers.

Took me awhile to figure out what to do at first such as running the restaurant or how to use items but eventually I figured it out! Maybe a tutorial or some type of guide would help players in figuring out how the game works. But its a pretty neat restaurant business sim! If you could flesh out and find ways to better teach how the game works to players then I can see this could be a fun full project idea!

I really like this, I also really like the graphics and the sounds, but I do think the graphics look a bit repetitive at some points and sometimes the styles seem a little mixed, but I still really like it. I also like how it pushes you to the side when you walk into something. It did take some time for me to figure out how to play though, but then it was fun.

Lots of fun. Dinner dash with a little foraging like stardew valley. I played for more than 30 minutes for sure. It was very captivating I wanted to keep playing and see what happened in later reputation levels.

Some considerations

  • Maybe a timer to know how long we have before customer leaves
  • Maybe a way to know that we don't have what they want.
  • Is me being able to leave the house multiple times and have new ingredients show up on the beach intentional?


Bug

  • When I closed the restaurant and bought ingredients before going to bed from merchant and ran out of money the next day I am locked in the "Get more ingredients before opening" loop. So we have to buy from the merchant before opening is something to figure out or have a way for the merchant not sell you after your closed.
