It was fun trying to make the drink requests that had coffee slang in them! I was a bit confused at first because the coffee pot just kept filling itself up but I think that's because I pressed the coffee machine buttons too much. The instructions could be more clear than what it is now but overall, I loved playing the game!

This was so much fun! It took me a minute to start understanding how to game worked, but I had a blast! Loved the art the controls were intuitive, and I was able to figure everything out as I played along! I got 4 Stars which I was happy about <3

Cute game, definitely messed up a lot of orders though :(

Very fun design and a clever take on the theme! A little bit more time on the first day as you learn the ropes might be nice, but overall I really enjoyed both the art and the mechanic based around desperately trying to guess what people are talking about c':

Really enjoyed the chill vibe of the game, though I feel like having some sort of feedback about how the order was could be helpful... Had fun tho!

A little confusing to play at first, but I love the idea of having to figure out what people mean when they just provide descriptive words or mixed orders. The music is a bit repetitive though, and some more clear feedback on how well the player does on orders would've been nice (Maybe having an order rating to fit with the shop's overall rating?)

Developer

That's a fantastic idea actually. I might actually make a post-jam version at this rate, haha! also sorry about the music, It was like 11 am and I just wanted to get it done.

I love the game idea and the art is super enjoyable, a bit confusing to play at first

ngl I did get a little addicted to this game, it was fun to play through all 5 days and try to get my score as high as possible.  some more variety per day would have been awesome but I had a blast just trying to make the catastrophic "sweetened snowy cow juice" things these customers ordered xD  great work all!!

I really like the idea of this game. It was fun to parse each order to guess the customers' intention. I will say that I didn't feel it was necessary to have the game last 5 days, since no new orders were really introduced past day 3, so it felt like more of the same.
I ended the game with 4 stars. I love the sprite work you did! The visual style is very appealing

Developer

yeah, the day issue was something that I was worrying about, unfortunately I didn't have enough time to implement a better difficulty scaling system so it can feel kind of boring at times. thanks for your feedback!

Really cool! I kinda got the hang of it later in the game and it was fun to try and guess what people asked for and recognize it. The artwork, polish, and the sound was very on point.

A small bug I found was that if you poured two types of coffee into the kettle, the type in the kettle would not be overridden, instead, it would "queue up", such that when you emptied the kettle it would not be empty.

Although I think this entry is right on the theme and nails almost every point. Great job and thanks for the experience.

If you got the time, feel free to check out our submission as well: OINK

Haha, I like the idea. Once you get a hang of it, it gets more fun! Great work!

Awesome game! I really like the art and the variety of drinks made. The music is calm and figuring out the wrong orders is really fun! 

The way you took the jam theme in the game is pretty creative too!

Excellent work!
