Players take control of Carrie, a waitress crab, as she runs around a port-side restaurant, serving orders for all manner of sea-life as they come through the door. But once Carrie starts working, she just can't stop! So you'll have to use quick reflexes and your graceful pirouette to dodge customers and avoid bumping into them. As you progress, your restaurant moves onto new locations with even more space where you'll have to keep track of customers, as well as new hazards like leaky plumbing and littering patrons!

And more tropes.


* ATwinkleInTheSky: The image for Endless Mode shows Carrie holding an enormous tower of plates, producing one of these to show just how impossibly high it goes.



* CarnivoreConfusion: Not only will the SharkMan characters ignore the smaller fish cusomters, but they're just as likely to order a salad as they are a steak.



* HiddenDepths: The credits reveal everyone's likes and dislikes, with a few surprising results.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Calcia's credits bio lists her likes as simply "Herself, Attention".



* OneHitPointWonder: Bump a customer, spin on a puddle, slip on a banana peel. Either way, you lose a life.



* RegeneratingHealth: On Friendly Mode, your Sprint Meter now serves as this for when you run into an obstacle. You still lose a life if a customer gets impatient, though.



* {{Salaryman}}: Reginald, a business eel with a tie and briefcase.
* ScoreMultiplier: You get more points if you serve multiple customers in a row, take as many plates to the dishwasher as you can at once, or grab multiple coins in quick succession.
* SecretCharacter: Calcia, who's unlocked either through a NoDamageRun, or accumulating a high enough score across all runs. She can spin for as long as the button is pressed, unlike Carrie, who can only spin for short bursts. But she also is slowed down the more plates she carries.
* SlipperyEel: Reginald again, though he's merely trying to slip in a lunch break on a long work day.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Beating the high scores in each map of [[EndlessGame Endless Mode]] as Carrie and [[SecretCharacter Calcia]] unlocks different color palettes for them.



* AntiFrustrationFeatures: While each round of service mode has four optional challenges to complete, you don't actually have to complete them all in one playthrough.



* BonusStage: Every four rounds takes you to a bonus stage where you can collect coins to build up your score and hopefully earn an extra life.



* CosmeticReward: Completing the challenges in Service Mode unlocks a secret picture.
* EasyModeMockery: Your scores aren't kept and you can't complete challenges on Friendly Mode.

* FacePalm: Mess up while Calcia's in view, and you can see her faceclaw at Carrie's clumsiness.

* GiantMook: Larger sea creatures will use up more of your SprintMeter when you spin past them.
* GreasySpoon: A brighter and cuter example then most.
* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Rosa, the koi fish. Complete with Panama hat.


Added DiffLines:

* NintendoHard: It starts easy enough, but once the customers start getting faster, the puddles drop more frequently, and banana peels are littering the floor, your reflexes and coordination will be put to the test.
* NoDamageRun: One way to unlock the SecretCharacter is to complete the game, from beginning to end, without a Game Over.
* RedOniBlueOni: Carrie is cheerful and enthusiastic, Calcia is perpetually grumpy. Oddly enough, they're ''both'' warm colored and wear blue dresses.

Added DiffLines:

* TooFastToStop: When you complete a round, it takes a little while for Carrie to finally skid to a halt.
