Made for Mini Game Jam #44! Didn't get to as much polish as I wanted because I was sick for most of Saturday, but I'm proud of how much I was able to accomplish despite that! :)

Very fun, wish there was more action than just clicking on things but well done!

Nice gameplay loop!

Like the idea, feels like I am working in McDonalds again with a terrible machine that keeps breaking.

It's always impressive when I see people just finish a game jam, the time and pressure looks insane so great job!

Suggestions:

I wish I could serve ice cream in any order, perhaps a bonus for FIFO. Would let me strategize with which ones I serve
Would be cool to have the minigames for fixing involve the real world action, e.g have to actually turn the knob schedule 1 sort of way. think it would be a lot more engaging (of course out of scope for a game jam though)

Issues:

Restarting game doesn't close machine
Sometimes the task list for fixing the machine doesn't tick off items but does track order in which clicked
Restart doesn't reset money, which kind of breaks immersion of running out of busines

Thank you so much for the feedback! I definitely initially wanted to have the actions for fixing be a little more involved, but I got sick for one day of the jam, and so it had to be simplified down to clicking.

Thanks for pointing out the issues! I can put out a quick fix for 1 and 3 in a second, since those are little things I know how to fix, but I can't reproduce the second (though somebody else has brought it up), so I have no idea what's happening. Guess the check-list will just have to be as janky as the machine.
