Neat lil game so far, can't wait to see this game get updated!! :)
I like the ambience of the game and stacking hamburg is really fun, the sound of grilling is satisfying, but I don't know how to complete the order for a customer asking Double Hamburg Ricebowl and Plain Hamburg as I cant stack more than 2 hamburgs in a ricebowl and also it's not possible to take empty plate. Please help... I'm stuck T__T
I really hope to see more of this game! GREAT START!
still cant forget boba XDXD cant wait to play this 2
YO MIKE TEN! This game's got potential, can't wait to see what the horror aspect of the game is! I'll be keeping an eye on this one for sure, good stuff! >:D
:0
Good stuff!
it gave me a scary but chill vibe and the uhh. the boss is kinda fat i think he needs to go to the gym lol.
This game was pretty fun, however lacked in scares. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and am very interested in playing the full game! Hopefully, there will be a lot more scares, keep it up!
Cool game. The demo could use some scares, feels like a sim game as is.
cool games
If its gonna be anything like the bobatea shop then i know its gone be another banger. Nice demo devs!
Hi Mike,
I came across [Hambagu shop] on itch.io and was really impressed by its concept and atmosphere.
I create cinematic game trailers and promo clips designed to help indie games reach more players and stand out across social platforms.
Would you be open to me putting together a short concept or trailer idea for [Hambagu shop] to show what I could create for you?
Warm regards,

I really enjoyed playing the demo! Looking forward to the full release! Just a few ideas I had while playing the demo.
1. Can there please be an endless mode? I enjoy cooking games a bit too much, but I enjoyed the most cooking here and making boba in The Boba Teashop. The simple mechanics make the cooking so fun.
2. I hope we are able to give some customers drinks, because of the drinks and glasses on the shelf and maybe even use the microwave?
3. It would be nice to turn on and off the fan in the office and the lights after entering and before closing the shop.
4. Maybe even take out the trash before closing the shop, sort of like the cleaning the floor with the broom at The Boba Teashop.
Interesting demo, enjoyed it!
The game is quite cozy and i would actually love to play a game that was just based on serving burgers. I would still like to play the full game when it releases. 1st game.
It's so much fun, but it's a shame that the demo was too short. Hurry up and release the official version!!!!
Demo was quite fun! I've gotten the hang of it pretty quickly. Looking forward the full game for sure!
Best of luck! 🤗
I really like these types of games and it was a great intro to what will be a great game!
Great game, the mechanics are so satisfying. I appreciate the improvement with the graphics from the Boba Teashop. I think an extra night would be great. Keep up the great work Mike. Great work as always. I really look forward to the full release.
Full Game
Very interesting horror game.
Super fun as I love games like this. I feel like there could b a bit more for the demo as this doesn't showcase much. Look forward to seeing more tho!
Hello, I played this game, and I really enjoyed it! Good work :)
For being a short little demo, this was not too bad at all! Extending the demo might seem like a smart idea if the demo is left available to download once full game comes out. Since day 1 doesnt showcase must spookiness. It was good and learning the mechanics was awesome, but more could have been done. Apart from that, not bad! Made a video on it.
Made a video
I can't wait for the full release! I loved the boba teashop so I know this is going to be awesome
TRIED playing, but when i changed the mouse sensitivity the character slides even when standing, making it hard to move around and do stuff cause of the sliding. I exit the game and reload but now it slides all over. (I think i somehow made my character intoxicated at work LOL)
Great
This was alright for what it was, and I liked the coziness, and couple of things did jumpscare me haha. I wonder if we will find our lady took time off and whats with the boss?
Very different to The Boba Tea shop! I'll be keen to see the full game!
Promising start, although not an impressive demo.
As a fan of your previous game "The Boba Teashop" I expected something more sinister, vile. The game does offer neat visuals, atmosphere, chill environment and very dedicated boss. I assume something is off about him, rather than Mari, the main character, but nothing reveled itself. Somehow, the game lacked the spices (no pun intended). Still looking forward to the full game.
Best of luck!
totally feel you on the spice comment lol. though tbh I kinda liked that it's more lowkey compared to boba tea shop? gives me time to actually appreciate the vibes before things get wild
yeah exactly! sometimes slow burn horror hits different. lets you get comfy before the rug pull happens lol
this wasn't scary, I honestly hope that the full game has something in it
demos are usually pretty tame to set the mood. if the dev's previous game (boba tea shop) is anything to go by, the full version should deliver on the horror front
yeah demos tend to play it safe! the mechanics are solid though, once the story picks up it'll prob get intense
This was a very great demo wished it was a little longer but I can't wait for the full release!
