Use of the limitation
In this game, “Everything going wrong” means that every success makes the night more dangerous. The more you satisfy your undead customers, the more the saloon falls into chaos, until one mistake can spiral into disaster.

Very, very cool!
Thank you so much!
This type or order rush games are my jam! And the fact that the customers have their own effects makes it all that better. I would maybe make the orders about 30 % bigger and brighter so that they stand out more and you don't have move your eyes up and down that quickly, it could cause headaches during longplays. The voices and sounds are on point with the overall mood.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed the chaotic rush from the customer effects and the overall mood from the voices and sounds.
I hadn’t thought carefully enough about how much eye movement the layout creates, or about the size of the area where the player’s attention needs to stay. That’s clearly important for the overall experience, and your suggestion to make the orders around 30% bigger and brighter is very helpful. Thanks again.
Personally i don't have the huge gripe other pepole seem to have with you using ai art, i think ai giving you the abilty to make this game is a good thing.
About the game, i have to say GOOD FUCKING JOB. great idea that is exeucted excellently, gameplay loop is hella fun. love what you made of this old flash game idea. gave me huge nostalgia while being fresh.
Not a huge issue but when the window shows up about the new guests i think the timer keeps ticking and the old guests start to leave which is kinda annoying.
I have to say i think you did a great job with this game and should be proud.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the game.
And thanks for pointing that out about the guest timing. It makes sense that it felt like a bug. The current behavior is actually meant to reset the board every in-game hour, with existing guests leaving without penalty so the board does not get too saturated.
I can see that the way it’s presented makes it feel abrupt and confusing. Your comment helped me realize that this is a feature I need to handle much more carefully. Thanks again.
The use of generative AI is really a turn down for me, but the rest of the game is cool and I really enjoyed playing it either way !
Thanks for playing and for the honest feedback. I understand that the use of generative AI was a downside for you, and I appreciate you being direct about it. I’m glad you enjoyed the game overall, and I appreciate having your perspective.
i feel like AI is a lil crazy but the concept is alright tho
Thanks for playing and for the honest feedback. I’m glad you still found the concept interesting. If the visuals felt a bit off, that’s on me and how I handled the presentation. Thanks again for giving it a try.
I liked the mechanic bro!
Thanks for playing! I’m really glad you liked the mechanic.
Nice game I got a final score of 2600!
Thanks for playing! 2600 is a great score.
I’m really happy you enjoyed the game
I don't know how to feel about this game Ai Art? really that is sad to see but I guess I shouldn't give you a one star in all for it but I don't know what else is Ai so ima just give u one star ):
Thank you for playing and for sharing your honest thoughts. I understand that AI art is not something everyone is comfortable with.
For me, making this game still took a lot of research, thought, trial and error, and genuine passion, and I cared about creating something people could enjoy.
Even if we see it differently, I’m grateful that you took the time to try the game and respond
Bro did you use AI to generate the response💀(sorry if it offends u it’s just kinda funny)
The game is completely in keeping with the theme; chaos ensues as you progress!
Thank you! I’m really glad the chaos came through and that the game felt true to the theme.
I really like the concept! Great game!
Thank you so much for playing! I’m really glad you liked the concept.
Fun! Love the characters and how they each bring something different to the bar.
Thank you! I’m really happy you noticed the characters’ different personalities. I was trying to make each one distinct while also letting their combinations create even more chaos, so your comment means a lot to me.
Making drinks and making food is stressful! Like it kind of brought back some rough memories for me lol. I wish you could eliminiate the step of giving the plate directly to the customer, tht would make it a bit more streamline. But it's definitely stressful in a fun way!
Thank you so much for playing and for the thoughtful feedback! This was my first time making a food-and-drink service game, so I’m glad that stressful feeling came through. I originally had it set up so customers would take the plates themselves, but I changed it because the guests in this saloon didn’t feel kind enough for that. I’m really happy that the stress still felt fun overall.
Pretty chaotic! Loved the fact that i can just shoot someone when everything is going crazy!
Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed the chaos. Your solution felt very fitting for this ridiculous saloon, and it made me laugh :)
I Had to rate it five stars, i loved to play that game, need some polish, but overall a very good game, nice use of the limitation, maybe increase the timer for each phase.
Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words! I’m really glad you enjoyed the idea and the way I used the limitation. I also really appreciate your feedback about the timer — I was struggling to find the right balance between “not enough” and “too much to handle,” so your comment was very helpful.
Very well done! I had an absolute blast and the chaos is insane!
That score is wild! I can only imagine how completely chaotic the screen looked by then. Thank you so much for having that much fun with it!
