You were able to create the space well with visuals in frame and the sound effects! The loop took a bit of getting used to, especially with the toss bar needing to be hit twice. The arrows were on theme, but a little hard for me to read at first π . You nailed the pacing though, since I got the hang of it on round 5 and was ready to play again! Good stuff!

Such a tight and well realised experience! Loved the expressions of the customer. I swear one time I beamed the shrimp into his forehead, and he was briefly huffy, then he caught the perfectly cooked shrimp in his mouth and was ecstatic. I don't know if I was huffing shrimp fumes, but if that is a real feature, that is a fantastic detail. I had a blast with this, and I would totally play more cooking-type minigames in this style if you guys choose to extend it. Great work! As Ken Tanaka myself, I can tell you that Tanaka-San is proud of this game.
(actually I saw that a commenter below had 22k so I'm gonna have to get back on the grill)

omg this comment has the team on cloud nine right now. Warioware was a HUGE inspiration for us while deciding on game flow and aesthetics. Our programmer really put in the elbow grease to butter up that grill, so we're happy to hear your experience with it was slick! ππThank you so much for your comment and thank you for playing our game!! ππ

Ah thank you so much! Your comment really made my day!!ππ And hey it takes skill to burn things lol, but with the effort you put in, I'm sure that those shrimp still taste good too! π€π€
(though ngl kind of want to add "professional shrimp burner" as a new rank π€£ its a genius title!)

γγγγ¨γ ComiCross san!
Managing the store is a gold idea to extend the game! Set hours, attract customers, order food, set prices,. I'll have to try Dave the Diver sometime.
I'm a huge fan of 2D games and grew up on SNES so my nostalgia always pushes me this direction as well, but our coder, Dreamcastic, grew up on 3D games PS1 era so we thought a 2.5D Paper Mario style was a fair compromise. Our artist, Rumi, spent the most time on our solo customer, Chris Chan and his 6 different expressions, and we were quite impressed with their work. Once you get to really know Chris Chan you'll find he's more than meets the eye ;) (and quite the charmer)

Sorry to hear you've run into an issue! What internet browser are you using? It might be a browser-specific issue.

Hey there, just double-checked and confirmed it works for the current versions of Microsoft (44.0.3719) Chrome (145.0.7632.68) and DuckDuckGo (145.8), so if browser-related I'd definitely recommend using one of those three and updating before trying again. π€π€
