[5] Playing as either a male, female, or custom character, players are tasked with running one of Papa Louie's various fast food restaurants.

[6][7] In later games, getting enough points earns tickets that can be used to play minigames, which reward tips, clothing, and decor.

Similarly to how a customer's tip depends on the player's performance, the tipping system highlighted in the Papa Louie series underscores a broader issue that reflects the real-world dynamics of service-industry practices, where workers experience financial hardship and continue to rely on customer satisfaction for compensation.

They can also be used to purchase clothing for your character, which will boost the amount of tips earned in each order if it matches the current holiday.

The game stars the titular chef, who must run and jump through various food-themed locations to save his kidnapped customers.

[12] Starting in 2012, multiple Gamerias were released on Google Play and the App Store, making them accessible on mobile devices.

[4][15][16] Set in the fictional city of Tastyville, Papa's Pizzeria centers around the player making pizzas.

[21] Papa's Pizzeria HD notably introduced the Delivery Phone; the second and penultimate orders placed during an in-game "day" are delivered to the customer's residence by a second worker.

[22] Functioning similarly to the Dining Room, the Delivery Phone is solely aesthetic, having no bearing on the preparation of orders.

Set in the fictional town of Burgerburgh, Papa's Burgeria centers around the player making burgers.

The game notably introduced the currency system; money earned can be used to buy lobby decorations and restaurant/kitchen upgrades.

Additionally, points are now earned with each order and used to level up ranks; this was the purpose served by tips in Papa's Pizzeria.

Players can play as Mitch or Maggie; custom workers are also available in Papa's Taco Mia HD.

[29] In all Gamerias to feature holidays, all Closers will dress up in costumes for Halloween or Day of the Dead, depending on the game.

[40][41] Set in the fictional town of Maple Mountain, Papa's Pancakeria centers around the player making pancakes, french toast, waffles, and drinks.

Mini-game tickets are earned by successfully serving orders to customers, but as further additions were added to the series, tickets can now also be earned by making in-app purchases, serving certain special recipes, or playing the Food Truck free play mode.

[53] The game notably introduced Custom Workers, allowing players to design their own character to play as.

[69][70] Set in the fictional city of Portallini, Papa's Pastaria centers around the player making pasta and bread.

[72] The game notably introduced the Dining Room; the second and penultimate orders placed during an in-game "day" are delivered to a table located elsewhere within the restaurant by a second worker.

[75][76] Set in the fictional amusement park of Powder Point, Papa's Donuteria centers around the player making donuts.

[82][83] Set in the fictional town of Toastwood, Papa's Cheeseria centers around the player making grilled cheese sandwiches and fries.

[95][96] Set in the fictional city of Sakura Bay, Papa's Sushiria centers around the player making sushi and bubble tea.

[102][103] Set in the fictional city of Oniontown, Papa's Scooperia centers around the player making cookie sundaes.

The game centers around Marty and Rita, who have to rescue Papa Louie and 25 of his customers after they are kidnapped by Radley Madish and Sarge.

The game centers around Captain Cori, who has to rescue Papa Louie and 26 of his customers after they are kidnapped by Radley Madish and Luau LePunch.

Several characters featured in the Gamerias, Papa Louie platformers, and other Flipline Studios games are playable.

[135][136] A creativity app, Papa Louie Pals allows players to create scenes, comics, memes and fan fiction with customizable characters, as well as pre-established customers featured in the Gamerias.

[141] During their time at college, they have made The Mawglin: Rise of the Half-Breed, a side-scrolling role-playing game, and worked a few clients such as Donley's, a construction company[142] and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Initially, Neff and Solary wanted to use the name "Flipline Design", but they forwent this idea after graduation because it was too rhyme-y.

[citation needed] Other personal projects made by them during this time include 555 Modified, a clothing shop for punk rock bands and FlipChat, a messaging service.
