Fun game. I really liked the unique plot and mishmashed setting. This is the first time I've seen the help command allow us to help the player :)
I had a little trouble with the coffee machine since I kinda had to guess the milk-coffee ratios with no idea what kind the influencer wanted, though she did give some good hints. I think it would help the machine if each button were labeled for what it did -- Milk, Coffee, Finish -- and were over their corresponding units. (The Milk button was over the Coffee button and the Finish button over the Milk and Coffee over Finish.)
Anyway, sorry to criticize the coffee machine so heavily, since I wager that was the trickiest part of the game and I did enjoy it despite the initial confusion.
Thanks for commenting. The mishmashed setting was a bit of an experiment.
As for the coffee machine I was trying to make it a difficult mini-puzzle by purposefully making it non-linear. Probably the best route is to listen to the sounds. But maybe I overdid it and should have kept it more simple. I will change it post-jam. I am kinda wondering if it is worthwhile to give Stan some more adventures in this mishmashed world.
I like the idea of more adventures for Stan. The game's universe is pretty rich, so there would be a lot of possibilities, whether an expanded version of this game or a part two in which one of O.D.D's portals gets shifted to Stan's beach and sends him back to the point and click/platformer or a completely new genre bending area. I think this was my favorite game for this jam.
