Presentation could be a lot better, but the gameplay does make up for it a lot. It's gameplay from Overcooked mixed in a little roguelike/management bundle.
The controls could use some tidying up, but this game is a lot of fun with a friend. Opening up a fish restaurant as Freddy Fazbear in a maid custome was surprisingly fun.

Start your restaurant, set the layout, take customers, prepare the food and serve! Take their money and use it to buy additional equipment for your restaurant until your popularity becomes too much and missing a single customer closes your business down. And then you do it all over again.
A very simple game with solid core loop and extremely basic controls, which makes it a really fun game to play with younger relatives and such. Neat accessibility settings, multiplayer is also seamless and playing locally is an option, which is really nice to see.(seriously, what happened to local multiplayer in games?!)
Wish the game had an optional 3 strikes option, as playing with people that aren't very used to video games in general means our restaurant gets closed before we can even reach 2 stars.

If you like puzzles and overcooked you probably love this game. Figuring out different meals is very fun and while this game doesn't have quite the appeal as a major indie title in the mod-ability and reply value it is very close. It's essentially a roguelite but in the wackiest of ways. You could most likely get 40 hours out of the standard game especially if aiming for a decent Overtime score, but mods is where this game really shines, and at least currently the discord is quite active, finding a team to join is not an issue most nights, though there is some wonkiness with NA vs EU on connecting.
The soundtrack can be repetitive and does suffer from 'Short byte on repeat' but is so catchy it hardly matters.
9/10 for me, exemplary indie title.

I don't think every genre needs the rougelike treatment, but throwing those elements into OVERCOOKED leads to a pretty fun spin on the formula! I like that this expands the concept beyond the kitchen, where the whole restaurant needs to be managed and addressed at all times.
Cooking is simple and gets progressively complicated in a fair way. Having to strategize which restaurant upgrades you'll take adds a nice layer to the proceedings. I played with a friend and it's a lot of fun to decide what steps to take day by day. Another reviewer noted it would be nice to expand the restaurant out with further successes and I wholeheartedly agree.
Charming AND challenging. A very fun game to play!
