That's really awesome! I didn't have any serious lags, only a bit frizzy movement, but it didn't affect the gameplay. The game is so beautiful, all the models are very cute and the characters look almost like toys, which makes the visual style as pretty as it is. I enjoyed the process of making drinks, even though i've messed up the queue of actions. Music and sound effects are nice too, especially the sound which plays when customers talk. There's just two things that caused some questions actually. The first one is camera position, it seems like the player's view is situated too low and it can be a bit uncomfortable. The other thing is the lightning. Actually it is very beautuful, but in some places it feels like it is kinda too vivid in some places, but maybe the fault is in unreal's light mode itself. Anyways, the game is pretty cool! Thank you for making it, that's one of my favorites on this jam!
Thank you so much for playing it! We're working on giving it a post jam update. So, we'll see what we can do about the player's height and lighting.
Unlike the other commenters I did not have any performance issues. Wow this was beautiful and cozy. You really nailed it. We had very similar game ideas, and yet they turned out so different. I love the game, and the music, and characters, and the tiny little town, and the cute themed drinks. My only complaint is that all but one customer ordered either the grub drink or the pineapple one. I would love to see this world expanded more and hear some stories of who these customers are.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm sorry they ordered so many grub ones (Moldy Mojito?). I think that's our most complicated drink. I usually get The Trunkard.
We're working on polishing it up for a post-jam update. So, hope you come back and see what it's like then, :).
Thank you again for playing it!
Due to my old compu it was a bit laggy, but thats my part. I love the art and the envirmont. 5/5 because the boss is a tortoise! ( I love turtles :) )
Wow, this game is super visually impressive for a jam game, fantastic job! Mixing the drinks is fun and I like their creative naming.
Thanks for playing our game! Happy to hear you liked it!
Sadly I had some performance problems with this game. I have a decent Laptop and can run almost every game but it struggles with this one. Maybe you should look into better optimization next time because I guess that some people will not be able to play this.
The game itself is pretty good though. I think the character models look really good and the bar feels cozy. Great job on that.
Gameplay is what you would expect from a game like this, but I liked the extra complexity of some customers not saying what they want exactly and you having to guess.
I would probably have continued playing this to the end if it wasn't running so poorly and at some point all customers stopped talking to me. They also piled up in one spot of the bar which made it difficult to interact with them.
Thanks for the feedback. Optimatsation was a issue for us and we did not have time fix it enough. Happy to hear you still gave the game a shot!
