About the Game



In a world of daunting beasts, brave heroes, and dangerous bandits, someone has to serve up the grub!

Become the new owner of The Belligerent Dweller, the most popular tavern stop in the medieval town of Thurgon. Dash around the tavern to pick up and deliver eager customers their orders as fast as possible. You've only got one set of hands, so make sure you stack your dishes efficiently!

But be warned; this town isn't known for its hospitality. Your patrons are quick to temper, and quick to violence! Angry orcs will hurl axes, sly rogues will toss daggers, and impatient wizards will channel fiery arcane magics. Its your job to dodge the projectiles they send your way to deliver tasty meals swiftly, racking up a high score!

Just like any other restaurant, The Belligerent Dweller has its regulars! Meet Sir Reginald the Knight, Qlunk the Orc, and other fun characters that will be sure to write you a lengthy review each time you serve them.

Your job may not be as glorious as others in this fantastical world, but it's harder than it looks! Master the pathways you take through the restaurant, optimize the order in which you pick up and deliver dishes, and hone your axe-dodging skills to become the greatest waiter this magical world has ever seen!



  • Traditional restaurant grab-and-go style gameplay
  • Angry customers that throw projectiles at the waiter
  • Streak multipliers that reward flawless performance
  • Recurring characters that leave customer reviews
