most of the time the game is very unfair. i can only repeat what @AtticusFinn said.

Super impressive presentation-wise for only 13 hours!
The gameplay itself is fun, but feels completely dependent on luck of what happens to spawn, I feel like I never had to make any actual choices

HodgePodgeFun game! Like others said, the RNG feels unfair at times. Maybe you could switch things up so that you need to pick up the ingredients in the right order like first beans, then grinder, then water and finally sugar and they only "hurt" you if you pick them in the wrong order, you could still collect them even in the wrong order to make the coffee in order to avoid unfair situations do to randomness and making the coffee can give you health back? Anyway, I really enjoyed the game, well done!

Bound - Jam VersionThanks for the suggestion! :D I did work on the RNG recently as I create the post-jam build, and I do still want to keep things as simple as possible since the mechanics are complex enough themselves. This might be something I could look back to if I want to add more challenge to the game though. :D
Fun little game! The only thing i´d add is some music and an interactive tutorial. I hope the feedback helped you, would be nice if you could check out my submission too. :)

Square PairI like it but I will say the randomness of where the objects spawn every time does seem to screw me over a bit. Took me forever to get beans and by the time they were there, I had to hit 2 other items and sacrifice health.
But it's a cool idea and I still enjoyed it. Good job!

Lead The WayNeat game. While it is might be based on 2048, it is different enough to be called its own game. The coffee-and-creme color scheme fits well with the theme, and it is certainly challenging enough to be a puzzle game.
Sadly, I feel the randomness gets in the way a bit too much for me. When I have plenty of health, I am begging for the last piece to drop, so I can complete a combo, but it only drops one kind. When I am on death's door, the boards is so lacking in water, it could legally be called a desert. Because of this, when I get a game over, it feels a bit like the game doomed me, rather than my own decisions.
I would recommend trying to steal a page from Tetris's book, and making the pieces drop from a set list, but in random order (like Bean, Creamer, Sugar, Water, and then Creamer, Water, Sugar, Bean, etc). That way the pieces have an even distribution, so you don't even up with All Beans, but there is no guarantees that you won't have to make risky decisions to continue your combo.
All in all, Great Job!

Zombies Strong Together!After I got the hang of things, I kept playing to see how far I could get. Kind of addicting!
I felt like my success was kind of luck based, though. If I didn’t get enough water, the board became clogged with other ingredients and I was doomed. Sometimes you can get a lot of one or two ingredients without seeing much of the remaining one. It’s also a bit hard to tell the ingredients apart at a glance because the game is monochrome. These aren’t big issues though. With a few small changes, I think the game would be a lot easier to play!

Sundae RushSimple, but fun idea. The game would benefit, if you add tutorial at the beginning. Anyway, good job :)

To the middleI like it! Straightforward game concept, easy to grasp and play once I understood the rules. If I have one criticism, it's that I'm not sure how much control the game has over the random spawning of ingredients. After several playthroughs, I found myself periodically ending up in positions that were impossible. Overall a good game, though!

Orbital RecoveryI loved 2048!! Was very excited about the idea of a coffee induced 2048 game and you delivered! This was really cool and the graphics are just absolutely stellar! Beautiful color palette and fun concept! Great job!

Symphony KitchenAppealing art, I would have liked to see other recipes to add some complexity and variety :)

Sun EscapeTutorial can be added at the beginning of the game. But then I saw your explanation in the description :). Congrats for your good work.

Soul BoundThe RNG could be tweaked to prioritize items you don't have yet. There were multiple times where most of the screen was filled with cream and sugar, but all I needed was one single bean.

Departure from Diana XXIReally interesting! The game concept is quite unique and is also fun. And the graphics are awesome as well!

Core ProtectI love the graphics! The rng could use some tweaking, but this is a unique take on the theme!
