Diner Bros
Unless you’re looking for single-player gameplay or a co-op cooking game on the cheap, you’re better off picking up the more polished Overcooked instead.

About
Diner Bros is a single player and multiplayer casual simulation game. It was developed by JAYFLGAMES and was released on July 6, 2018. It received mostly positive reviews from critics and very positive reviews from players.
Diner Bros is a fast-paced cooking and management game. Players work together to serve customers, cook meals, and upgrade their diner. The goal is to keep customers happy and complete each level's objectives before time runs out. Coordination and multi-tasking are key in this fun and challenging co-op experience.











- Diner Bros is a fun and chaotic restaurant management game that shines in co-op play, providing hilarious moments and teamwork challenges.
- The game features charming visuals, a variety of levels, and a range of recipes that keep the gameplay engaging and addictive.
- It offers a unique twist on the cooking genre by allowing players to manage a restaurant and interact directly with customers, adding depth to the experience.
- The campaign mode is relatively short, with some players finishing it in just a couple of hours, leading to concerns about replayability.
- Controls can be frustrating, especially when using a keyboard, as players often struggle to interact with items and navigate the kitchen efficiently.
- The game lacks online multiplayer options, limiting the ability to play with friends who are not physically present, which can be a significant drawback for some players.

The gameplay is described as simple yet engaging, with a progression system that gradually increases difficulty, reminiscent of "Overcooked" but with a focus on restaurant management and upgrades. While it offers a fun co-op experience and unique mechanics, some players find the controls slightly sluggish and express a desire for more customization options. Overall, it provides a satisfying alternative for those who enjoy cooking games without the chaotic level designs of its inspirations.
“Gameplay is simple but entertaining and it progressively gets harder as you go at your pace.”
“It's indie Overcooked but still very worth a play in its own right; good pacing, a gameplay loop, and general enjoyment can be found here.”
“The gameplay has something different to offer here and it does it really well although I still would like the polish that Overcooked's mechanics do have but the controls work just fine in this game.”
“Much like PlateUp, the gameplay is mostly 'do things separately; there is no need for cooperation', and also like PlateUp, the progression is 'unlock new things that make the game harder in a way that's less fun'. This is really weird; in contrast, Overcooked progresses to harder levels with new tasks, not by the player-characters selecting to purchase things that make their own lives more difficult.”
“The only major downside to this game is that when you press a direction, the characters turn kind of slowly (50 milliseconds compared to 10 milliseconds in Overcooked), so sometimes the gameplay feels sluggish.”
“However, there is no gameplay direction.”
