It took me a while to figure out how to do things. I think my favorite thing to do was pour our a literal pile of beers and watch them tip over!
Good job with the graphics. Made some chicken and bought some stuff. But since there was nothing explaining how to control it or what I was supposed to do I gave up pretty quickly :/
I guess you might need to put an instruction in game or here in description; I found that I may buy beer and then make a cup of beer, but I have no idea how I should give them to the customers.
Super easy to break this unfortunately, AI + Collision = bad time. Shame because it's an awesome idea and some nice graphics!
This really needed an explanation of how to play/interact. I wandered my kitchen, made/bought some stuff, but had no idea how to get it to patrons, they didn't come to me, I couldn't get to them, I couldn't pick up things, clicking them changed color but I was unable to drag them or do anything with them.
The game looks great, but it does a bad job of visually explaining what to do. Also sometimes I couldn't click on the customers, and there are several game breaking bugs, like when I tried to make soup, beers started jumping out of the keg :D.
There are some performance issues and what you're supposed to do is difficult to figure out, but this is a good start.
Gameplay doesn't work for me. I cant serve the customers even if I want to. Poor beerless souls:(
That was very uhhh INTERESTING yeah that's the word. I didn't have a very much of an idea of what I was doing but it was good.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Seems to be some issues with the performance and overall gameplay and resolution, the goal is also unclear.
