  • Core gameplay loop of diving for fish and running a sushi restaurant is fun, addictive, and thrilling, especially in co-op multiplayer with friends.
  • Charming and cozy atmosphere with cute graphics, good art style, relaxing ocean sounds, and strong customization options for characters.
  • Early Access foundation is solid with promising features like varied fish species, multitasking restaurant management, and potential for future content expansion.
  • The game is unpolished with performance issues like lag spikes, crashes, and stuttering, especially after extended playtime or certain actions.
  • The gameplay controls and cooking mechanics can be tedious and overly complicated, requiring many clicks and awkward item interactions.
  • Lack of offline mode, limited AI staff leading to difficulty managing busy restaurant alone, and sparse town/sea content currently make the game feel incomplete.

    The game’s optimization is currently lacking, with performance issues such as stuttering when turning and inconsistent control mechanics that feel tedious. While some problems can be mitigated by lowering settings, overall optimization needs improvement, though this is somewhat expected in an early access title.

    • “A bit of performance issues can be seen, but it's an early access game, so high optimization shouldn't be expected yet.”
    • “The performance can gradually get worse and worse with you experiencing stutters whenever you turn around when you first load in the world.”
    • “This can be fixed with lower field of distance but more optimization is definitely needed.”
    • “The controls with some of the items are tedious and may need more optimization as well, with one example being you having to switch from left clicking to add rice to pot to right clicking to get the cooked rice out.”
