The Way of the Tray: Japanese Restaurant Simulator 🍙

4/10 thought it would be more complex tweaking the sensitivity but the controller tray tilt control just wasnt working for me very well at all every menu is janky weird controller style ive never seen before in games end up spending more time than i should trying to press one of two menu options i have up

**I'm coming back to say that this game is incredibly addictive and actually really fun and strategic once you've played it for about 15 hours. There are a ton of glitches and sometimes the game will just stop working altogether in the middle of an hour-long level, but when you learn how to work around most of the glitches, it's pretty fun. My biggest complaint is that the rules different Yokai have are too vague. I'll think I've prepared dishes exactly how they want and then they'll get mad at me, so idk. I do not recommend this game. I was looking for a speed-based waitressing game similar to Diner Dash, which I played a ton growing up. This is not that at all. It 95% a plate-stacking mini game, but it's literally impossible. The tray doesn't move fast enough to catch all the food, and for every dish there's a million obstacles that fall that ruin everything you've caught. It's impossible to please any of the customers, fulfill their orders, or even remember what they ordered because the game just is a flurry of plates and impossible obstacles to dodge. It was so stressful and not fun at all. Did anyone even try to see if this game was playable before it was released? My poor …

I really, really like this game, lots of fun and charm. BUT there are a few bugs that I've encountered that stop this from being a straight recommend. When things get more complex and you have unlocked all foods, several things seems to start to happen - most frustratingly, one of the yokai (Tsuchigomi) has just started being invisible in serving view! This stops me from serving her, meaning I fail her every time. This means that I can never finish the ame. It's a very affordable game, though, and a lot of fun for my money. I do recommend it, but I do wish these bugs were fixed.

Cute style, fun, very cool concept with the Yokai, makes me think of Spirited Away/Tetris combined

I want to like this game but the controller controlls need a massive update. It's almost impossible to select what you need to and moving the hand under the tray is the same. Hopefully this issue is resolved soon.

At first this game feels impossible, with too many orders, food falling too fast and a hard time balancing and fitting everything on the tray, but after getting a hang of it, it gets very entretaining! The pixelated artstyle is very charming, the gameplay is smooth and simple, the sounds are very satisfying to hear, the storyline of each yokai really makes you want to progress through the game, and even when things get pretty rushed with 40 patrons on the restaurant, I still find it relaxing to pile up all the food nicely (..◜ᴗ◝..) It may take a little while to get the flow of the game, but I'd say it's worth a try! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )
