A downloadable game

Not Enough Chefs created for GMTK 2023 jam.

Best played with a controller.

Created in Godot 4.1.


Description
You play an overworked, underpaid chef, who is also having to wait on each table. Every 35 seconds you have to leave the kitchen and your role is reversed to being front of house staff. After 10 seconds you're back in the kitchen again.

Caveats
I ran out of time to implement the features I wanted... the gameplay loop is incredibly simple, you just have to do 10 rounds of back and forth cooking and serving. You will gain money from each customer, $5, but there is no way of spending the money. Wish I had more time to develop this idea further and implement more recipes but it's the nature of this!

How to play
Only one recipe, burgers - Take the lettice to the chopping board press and hold chop, cook the patties, combine on the combining spot with a bun. When serving, grab from the service hatch, give burger to customer.

Controls
Best played with a controller.

Keyboard - WASD to move, control to chop, space to pick/place

Controller - Analog stick move, square/x to chop, x/a to pick/place
