Is it still worth playing?

Ghost Town Games' 2016 cooking game, in which chefs prepare meals to customer orders under a time limit. Orders arrive in a queue, and you complete as many dishes as you can before time runs out. Each dish is a chain of tasks: preparing ingredients, cooking, serving and cleaning up, at stations spread across the kitchen so you have to move between them. Correct orders earn coins, with bonuses for speed, while wrong ones earn nothing and waste time. The kitchen changes every level, with obstacles such as a crosswalk with pedestrians, kitchens on moving trucks and an iceberg. It is built for groups. Up to four players cooperate locally, a competitive mode scores points in a limited time, and a single player controls two chefs and switches between them. A kitchen that changes every level still turns every dish into a plan shared between players today.
