THE BANDOSWEET-D
TINY KITCHEN · DINER.THEBANDO.CC · IGNIUM LLC
SWEET-D is the diner on the lot. THE BANDO's hub calls it Tiny Kitchen: run a diner during the dinner rush — drag the chef, sear the meat, hand it off. Cosy, not punishing. It plays at diner.thebando.cc.
PLAY SWEET-DThe game's own page describes a 320×180 stage on a locked 16-colour palette. There is no click-to-move and no command menu. You grab the cook and drag him, on a mouse or a thumb. The same gesture that moves the cook is the gesture that sets the heat.
HOW TO PLAY
The whole loop is one gesture repeated. Three drags, start to finish:
- Grab the cook. Hold him and drag. He follows your finger and stops where you let go.
- Drop him on the stove. A patty goes on. Hold the patty, drag to drive the heat, and let go inside the green band.
- Walk it over. Carry the burger to a seated table before their patience runs out.
Let go inside the green and the burger comes out gold and sells for more. Let go early or ride it too hot and you have wasted the patty while a table is waiting. Gold burger in hand, the table is on a patience meter — that is the timer that matters.
CONTROLS
- Hold and drag the chef. He is not selected, then commanded — he is held.
- On the stove: press the patty, drag up to drive the heat, down to back it off, release in the green.
- Carry the finished plate to a seated table to serve.
- The same drag works on a trackpad and on a phone.
What the renderer draws, according to that page: the cook empty-handed and carrying raw, cooked and gold; two customers; the stove; a clean table; a dirty one; and the sink. Sixteen colours, locked. Warm reds through yellows for food, cool greys and teals for metal and water, one cyan kept for the flash on a perfect sear.
WHAT IT IS (AND ISN'T) YET
SWEET-D's own page is honest about the state of the build: it is a working prototype, not a finished game. The loop runs end to end — cook, serve, get paid — and that is genuinely all of it so far. Cash has nothing to spend itself on yet, dirty tables cannot be cleaned, and the sear still wants more time pressure before it counts as a full skill check. Those are the next jobs that page lists, in that order.
THE BANDO still lists it as playable, because that loop does run in the browser with nothing to install and nothing to sign up for. This how-to is that loop, not a menu of upgrades that are not in the build.
TIPS
- Do not look for a command menu. If you are not dragging the cook, you are not playing.
- The green band on the sear is the skill. Gold pays more; a burnt or raw patty is a wasted trip while a table waits.
- Patience on the table is the clock. A perfect sear that arrives late still loses the customer.
- One recipe, three tables. You are juggling heat and walking, not unlocking a second dish.
