Cute aesthetic, and that song is a real bop! The text was a little hard to read at the end of the level, possibly due to downscaling?

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! Yeah text is difficult at this scale for sure.

I like the overall feel, good job! It's not clear what they want and what the win condition is. Maybe having multiple days and adding ingredients each days would make the complexity increase with play time. Also I would prefer if there was a line instead of waiting for people to arrive for a long time. Apart from those gameplay issues, starting the game with the front of the shop could add to the charm and for world building maybe? The music was so nice, great choice!

Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback!

Music's great, visuals are nice. Wish there would've been a recipe book to look at in-game though, because as many times as people asked for Purple and I presented them with Purple made of various ingredients, I never managed the Purple they were expecting. Maybe this is why I don't actually own a cafe.

Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! We did talk about that and potentially adding it in the future or maybe making a larger scoped version with it. I’m glad you liked it regardless.

Developer

Some sort of in game recipe book is a possibility. Thanks so much for the feedback and for playing!

Very enjoyable game. The graphics are very charming and the music was quite enjoyable!

Once I got a handle on the gameplay, the biggest issue I had was, given how little time we have to start off with and how little we’re given for making drinks, it just feels a little unfair to be loosing 4 or 5 seconds just waiting for the next customer. Perhaps adjust it so the timer pauses after each order and only starts again when the next customer appears, perhaps. Or, I could just be really bad at the game, lol.

This is a wonderfully made game!

Developer

I’m really glad you liked it! This was the first game ever for the artist and the music was just ridiculous.

Yeah I think after the jam is done we’ll tweak the timings on the drink bonuses and the delay between customers. Definitely shouldn’t feel like an unfair loss.

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!

Music is amazing :D Also a really great idea. I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing or if I'm "good" at what I'm doing but I have a lot of fun :D Good job!

Developer

Thanks, the music was so ridiculous and perfect! Glad you liked it and we’ve already thrown around the idea of adding a small tutorial after the jam is done. Thanks for giving it a go!

this is so hard I feel stupid haha! Reminds me of these overcooked/cooking mama games, where the timer keeps going down in a very stressful way.

Good job, and congrats on your first game!

Developer

pro tip: it’s much easier with a mouse vs a trackpad. And recipes are in the download section if you get stuck. Thank you so much for playing!

Adorable art and good mood :) 

I had a hard time making the teas but just because I don't drink tea :P 

Great work Team :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks friend! It was definitely a challenge making a cooking game readable at this scale. Had a ton of fun though on this and I loved the happy mood on this one. Thanks again for giving it a play.

Love the music, the colours palette, and the general happy vibe of the game. I would love also to play it but can't really do much without knowing the recipes.  Great work overall, though if you could post somewhere the recipes perhaps would make it more enjoyable

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Added recipes to the download section if anyone gets stuck. Didn't want to make it too easy ;)

Great game.  Although it's kinda hard to figure out what I'm actually doing because I don't really know what kind of drink the customers are ordering and how to make it, I really like the music and the colors, the game feels very funky and energetic.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the feedback! Added recipes to the download section for reference. Didn't want to make it too easy ;) The drink request is also in the top right corner for each one.
