Reward serving guests in a row without punishing one mistake too harshly

A streak bonus makes a cooking game exciting, but losing a long streak to a single burnt dish makes players quit for the day. This entry makes the bonus grow with the streak and softens the fall: a first slip may be forgiven, and a real break takes only part of the streak, with every payout in whole coins.

Why this works

People keep trying for a streak only if losing it does not feel like losing everything. A shield turns the first slip into a warning, and a cut by half keeps most of the progress. Whole-number sums keep the payout exactly what the screen promised.

When not to use it

Skip it in a game about precision or tension, such as a speedrun-style challenge or a competitive ladder, where one mistake is meant to hurt. A forgiving streak there makes the result less meaningful; use a hard reset.
