Great and completed little game! Simple yet fun and engaging plot, hurrying to fix the place up was expected but fun.

Of course, more polish etc. would help, but still a great game!

Submitted

I love this! The music really stands out and the overall aesthetic is great. I liked the game jam on the toast joke.

Submitted

Really short but to be expected other then that the music and overall feel was just fun

Developer

Thanks! Glad to see your own game is only 1 vote from qualifying ^-^

Submitted

Very nice submission ^^ I really like the ambiance you made, and the child jamming to the music beat, is that intended (I was low key doing the same :P )? I didn't expect it to be this short, but it's actually really suiting for a game jam, well done! Do you plan on continuing it? If so is there planned features <.< ?

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I definitely gave the kid restless head syndrome haha, but I did not take the time to sync the animation to the music. I will likely patch some of the issues folks have had with this game, but I probably won't continue it. I'm already making plans for a new full game >:D Fun times ahead!

Submitted

Oh I thought it was synced🤣I was doing the same while playing hahaha. Never stop the grind I hope it works out well for your next project! I'm eager to see more! 

Submitted

I am happy goblin serving in a cafe after playing this game. Really well made. Felt the storm brewing while she told her sister is coming XD

Really enjoyed the game. Thanks for making it.

Kudos!!

Could you share the music link if you don't mind?? :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you much! Glad you enjoyed ^-^

Sure thing. I don't plan to upload/distribute the music, so feel free to listen or use as you please - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ORHcN6hy0-Phqj8wqEMvVbi2F49r6NZm?usp=dri...

Thanks man!!

Cute little game. Good job on it!

Developer

Thank you!

Immaculate! ^-^

It’s awesome to hear that you’ve learned new skills while making this. I’m excited to see what you come up with next! While the game is simple, it’s both fun and relaxing—until you find out the health inspector is on the way, and then it turns into chaos! I love it. I also loved the music—did you make it yourself? I’m pretty sure I heard vocals saying “Goblin Cafe!” in there, which was a nice touch.

I hope you can find some time to try our game as well, currently lacking 20 votes.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for all the kind words! Yep, the only thing I didn't make were the sound effects. 
I got to play your game as well. Congrats on surpassing the 20 votes :D

Submitted

Thank you so much!

Actually pretty fun, only realised the character names at the end, which gave me a little of a laugh.

Submitted

Very pleasant experience! I love the calming music and the sprites look great. I would definitely recommend some sort of feedback for the spacebar spamming chores and I noticed on others the bell sound would stutter if I held down the action button required to complete it. But apart from that good work!

Developer

Thank you! I agree on the spam mini-game. Also, you know, you're the first to comment on the bell stutter; I noticed that bug after the submission and wondered if I had gotten away with it, hahaha. Definitely will be patched after the voting period ends.

Submitted

If you haven't read legends and lattes, I really recommend it (trust its related)

Developer

I'll have to give it a try. ^-^

Submitted

Great little short story! Great job for making a fully realized piece for this jam. The only big thing to fix I'd say is the minigame ui/controls - it would be nice if it locked you in place when you performed them, and sometimes the button prompts lingered after I completed them. But great work overall!

Developer

Thanks, and thank you for the feedback!

Submitted

Really charming and fun game! I like the pixel art, the dialogue is fun, and I also like the variety of minigames!

Great job! :-)

Developer

Thanks! ^-^

Submitted

Amazing ending.  Nice variety of minigames.  It fits the theme really well.

Music and sound effects were just great.  Together with the artwork, they created a nice cosy atmosphere.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! ^-^

Great twist ending and i loved the audio! I struggled to figure out how to get the food back to the table idk why but great entry

Submitted

Great work!  The minigames were pretty crisp and responsive.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Actually haven't expected that twist :) The only con was that controls do overlap. Good luck!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'll have to look into it.

Submitted(+1)

Very Cool!

Submitted(+1)

this was a really fun experience! my only complaint is that you can't skip the end cutscene if you lost, but with how short the game is that's not too big of a deal.

Submitted

Great work! Love the puns, wish the gameplay was longer. Charming music as well

Nice submission

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

I got immaculate on the first try, did I win hard enough? "Game Jam" on the toast was comedy gold as was the child drinking coffee and her sister being a full grown adult with a job that takes a lot of qualifications! The game is super polished  (and yet your game description says you wanted to polish it more) and the storyline was brilliant! Having to do minigames on the fly was fun as well. The graphics and audio design are grand and the simple intuitive nature was extremely fun! If I could add one thing it would have to be more content to fit what's here!

I rated this because you rated Flood N' Dash from that community post.

Developer(+1)

Wow, huge thanks! That is very kind. I'll have to be sure to play your game as well. ^-^
