I was not at all expecting such enthralling storytelling from this type of game! This game was a delightful surprise that I couldn't put down until I'd finished the story. Very well done and I'm looking forward to seeing what this developer comes out with in the future.

As far as the actual gameplay: This game oscillates between a frenzied word storm (as another reviewer puts it, "typing for your life") and sitting around waiting for more customers to show up. I found myself pleasantly challenged on just enough levels that I wouldn't say even the normal difficulty is _too_ easy, but I was often doing nothing, waiting for the next customers to come in and wishing they would throw more than one or two at a time at me.

So if you're a fast typer, you probably won't find even Very Hard difficulty super challenging (although I have yet to play the later stages on that difficulty, so I may come to think differently). However, I think they introduced just enough weird non-word customers (for example: requiring you to type in "l33tspeak" or pure numbers) to serve and have just enough customer rushes that it will keep you on your toes in the later stages. Some of the customer types are a little frustrating, but not enough to be un-fun; same with the mini-games required to craft some dishes.

My only true frustration with this game was that it took me a minute to figure out how exactly to serve customers (specifically that I needed to pick up dishes before serving customers and there was no order taking), but other than that, this game was smooth sailing and enjoyable!

Overall, I highly recommend this for fans of the typing and cooking/restaurant genres. i'm so glad I found this gem! I'm going to go try Endless Mode now...

It's not easy, but it sure is fun.
