Game Description
As a conscientious mosquito, your dream is to popularize fruit juice as a healthy alternative to blood. What better way to do that than by serving it at your cafe? Give your customers the treatment they deserve... or don't, and watch them do funny annoyed animations at you. Your call.

How does your game tie into the theme?
You play as an intrepid mosquito running a juice counter!

Awesome game! I usually get quite stressed out by order-serving type games, but this one felt just right. I really like the artstyle and music, and the added strategy of making drinks ahead of time but them then becoming obstacles and accidentily running over juicers is very nice.  Also points for the upgrades and their descriptions :D Managed to get around 900 points in a couple tries! Really nice job!

Thank you so much!! That's a really good score actually, noice one! Yeah, I thought it'd be cool to encourage making drinks ahead of time but I didn't really incentivize it very well.  Epic you picked up on it though!

Thanks for playing, it means a lot :D

Super cute game! I went over to your page to play your previous jam entries - you have a nice style and excel at audio and humor. If you keep at it and become an even better programmer, while retaining your already great art skills, then I think you can make some amazing games in the future :)

Your praise makes me feel all warm and fluffy inside. Thank you, sincerely!! As someone who's pretty new to all this, it's hard to express how encouraging that is. I've definitely learned a lot from these jams so far and I'm excited to keep getting better! :D

This was simple but fun! I liked the art and the party mode.

The tutorial was good, too.

Nice job!

Really simple game and relaxing, because you get not punished for messing up. I love the "party mode" :D

Ooo very nice game! it got easier for me once I got the hang of it, at first I was panicking at the costumers leaving my café, but that was just a skill issue from my side! xD  I could see myself playing this when I need to unwind tho :3

Woot! Yeah, I definitely could've balanced things a little better haha. That means a lot though! Thanks for playing :D

Nah no need to worry bout that, it was still fun. Made me wanna get better! xD Plus the art just made it all the more enjoyable! :D

Wow, what a nice and surprising submission! I think you did a great job in taking a simple idea (real-time block pushing to targets on a grid) into a cohesive and complete game, of which I enjoyed the gameplay, the art style and the audio! Additional side-mechanics, like the fact that you cannot push block from above, the tip for a fast delivery, or the funny power-ups, are also great design choices that I appreciated.

Overall, this game is a solid entry and I had a lot of fun playing it. Congratulations :D

PS. I was about to attach the screenshot of my high-score (490 points), of which I was pretty proud, but then I saw your screenshot with 1189... :')

Yahoo! Thanks so much for the kind words. I had a lot of fun making it, so I'm really happy you enjoyed it! And I'm sure you did fantastic, despite the certifiably janked-up scoring system xD

I was kinda worried about the gameplay not really having any long-term objective, so I'm glad it worked for you! Thanks again for playing!

I found this to be a wonderful game. Sneakers for your mosquito servant are a must-have. The artstyle is cute and works well with the chill music. I'd only wish there were more days to run the cafe :p

Developer

Woohoo!! I'm glad you liked it :D The art and music were a lot of fun to make!

Yeah, there's admittedly not too much game in the game once you've gotten the upgrades, and I wish I could've done better about that. It was a great learning experience, though.

Thanks for playing!
