Welcome I'm glad you found your way in to my Sushi Restaurant in Shibuya.

How may I help you?
You want what?
Eh? You want to learn? Ah, learn to make the maki, so, so, so.
Eeeeh, learn to make the maki Japanese style, ne?

Today is your lucky day, I'm looking for a student, so here is a challenge for you.
Make customers happy. There are 4 orders for you, score more then 12 points and I'll accept you. (let me know in the comments :) )

These customers aren't so picky and I'll help you a long the way, you cut the ingredients, I place the ingredients on the nori for you, then you cut the makis and serve them.
Make sure to have nice even makis!

Start your journey to become a Master Maki Maker!

Fun being a sushi chef apprentice, serving the finest maki to customers :). Enjoyed the playthrough loop, music, and most importantly, the chopping sound effect! 

hi, I just purchased this and when I try to side load it an error shows up saying “The bundleID field is missing from pdxinfo”

I have encountered the same issue.

Wow, thanks for the purchase, didn't expect that so soon :D
Please try again, I've uploaded a new build.

Btw. I'm at the end of the Yellow Square Game jam, so things still need finishing up. And this prototype is basically... well a prototype :D

Feedback is welcome!

Thank you for the reply, the new build works! I really like the concept, the visuals, the controls, and the music! My only issue currently is that I’m kind of confused on how to know the size/number of pieces to cut the ingredients into

Yes, there isn't much explaining yet.

When opening up the menu, the controls are explained, but not on what to excately do...

I can add that in the last step. The game is a bit UI heavy, meaning a load of UI parts, which doesn't leave room for text. I maybe have to redo some parts.

I think I changing to show the controls per phase in the menu that would leave room for general instructions.

In general much more visual feedback would be great. So the kife could change color when in the right spot.
