This game is wonderful! The art is gorgeous and the music is beautiful, it feels very atmospheric! The opening cutscene is really charming too!

I enjoyed the cooking gameplay, although I didn't figure out how to make the customers completely happy, so I must be missing something.

It's a really enjoyable game, well done!

Helloo! You're absolutely too kind, thank you for trying out our fish-tastic game. We hope you enjoyed our salty seafolk and thank you for your feedback, the mechanics are still in the works with our 'grammers as we plan to iron things about prior to release! 
If you ever make it to the end of the game, there's a reason why the customers are usually not happy.....hehe. 

Regardless, thank you for taking the time and stopping by! Please feel free to visit Shrimpy and the gang again in the future.

All the best,

Oh such a cute shrimp!! I love the visuals and the story-telling. You did such a marvelous job in such a short time. I do agree with the others that the game is sometimes clunky. I had to click on a specific part of the recipe book to open it and the food gets served to a different customer if I am not careful enough even when I drag the food to the speech bubble. But aside from this minor stuff, I believe you created such a lovely and whimsical game, I'd love to play a full version of it someday!

Hello! 
Thank you so much for your detailed feedback, it's actually really helpful. We're hoping to fully flesh out the game and it's so important that we mark down what needs fine tuning and tweaking so that the experience is more polished. Our 'grammers have made a note and will work on it!
Regardless, thank you so much for stopping by and trying out our strange and incredibly salty cuisine. Come visit us again some time at the Shrimp Shack!

With our heartfelt thanks,

Developer

Our artists are so happy, thank you!!! They worked so hard on the art, and poured a lot of love and creativity into the designs.

Super cozy and overall a smooth and polished experience 😊

Hello and thank you for checking out our shrimpylicious game! We're so glad you found it to be polished, because this game was calm on the surface, duck legs kicking chaotically under the water lmao. 

We hope you enjoyed all our fishy friends, and come visit us again at the Shrimp Shack!

The game is great! Super dope art, amazing music and a complete game loop that is very engaging! One of the best entry for sure. Only downside for me was the amount of reading to do, I'm not the targeted demographic I guess. Other than that, amazing work!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! Our team is amazed that people are truly enjoying it, haha. 
Your feedback about the reading is very useful. It is a narrative driven game which is typically word heavy, but as our writer, I'm definitely looking to polish up the writing and sentence structure so it's more engaging. This is something to work on before proper release for sure, and it's really good to hear what players actually think.
Regardless, thank you for spending time with Shrimpy and his sea folk , and do visit us again some time at the Shrimp Shack in the future!

With all our thanks,

I love the art, music, sound and writing in this game! I found the gameplay a little too punishing and a bit janky in some parts but I did like the variety of food orders. One thing I will say is that I found the customers' comments on the food to be more related to the quality of the food rather than the wait time, the latter being their actual problem with it and that was a little confusing for me at first before I realised what was going on. Good work otherwise :)

Developer(+1)

Hello and thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback!
It's really useful to know what works and what doesn't with real people to play it, and our 'grammers will work on the gameplay aspect so it's less confusing to understand how to properly earn sand dollars and please customers. A tutorial is also in order. 
Regardless, thank you so much for joining us at the Shrimp Shack and come visit our salty cast some time again in the future!

All the best,

This is so cute and the characters have so much personality :)  I liked the art especially in the cut scenes.  

When I played I thought the rice wasn't brown enough yet so I kept it in the pan and it burned.  maybe changing the star from gold to red or have it pulse or sweat or something on the second timer countdown as a warning.  No big deal I just made some more.  Awesome work team!!

Hello!
Thank you so much for trying out our game and giving us feedback, it's incredibly useful for our 'grammers. They're working hard on bug fixes, and have made a note of this so that the gameplay can be smoother. Changing the star colour is such a great idea!
Regardless, we hope you had a cozy time with Shrimpy and his friends, and come visit us again some time at the Shrimp Shack for more weirdly tasty cuisine.

With all our gratitude,
