- Love it! Coffee mixing is a really fun idea, though I wish it was a littttle bit slower with more options <3

Dark Roast is a coffee shop simulator set in the shadow realm. The primary mechanics involve taking orders, making them (some through short mini-games) and delivering them to customers before they leave upset. It uses traditional WASD/Arrow Keys to move and E/Space/Enter to interact. With adding so many alternate controls, I hope to make the game more accessible to anybody and everybody! Hope you enjoy :)

Dang I loved the art and concept, but I got stuck because the glorb pot wouldn't do anything :/
Were you holding and releasing while holding a coffee from the middle? Both the left machine and the right machine require a coffee from the middle to use :)
Ah I missed the part about bringing the coffee to it!
I loved the fast pace, I started struggling a little on the second day, but thats because I wasn't useing the counter as much as i should have been. The idea is so simple to understand and very quick to grasp but quickly gets out of hand! Its very much liek running a coffee shop! The purple hue is also so cozy and I would die for Tim
Very Cozy Very Fun!
Fantastic game! I enjoyed this quite a bit. The artwork is top notch. It took me a couple tries to make the quota. I think the difficulty is pretty good. At first I didn't realize that people's orders and the actual coffee items are slightly different colors, but I eventually got the hang of it. Well done!
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the way the lighting is set up, it slightly alters the color of the sprite above customers heads. We tried to change the shape of the coffees a bit to make up for it, but it still ended up a bit confusing. Really appreciate the feedback!
Well done, I like the art and the music. I'm a bit confused cause the two customers that came in after the tutorial ordered something in a brown long cup, I had nothing that looked liked that so I gave them each of the two different kinds I had. They didn't like it and left. Then no more customers came so I went through the door to get more customers. Then I guess I fell off the map? Good art, good music.
Again, well done, you should be proud!
Really sorry that the tutorial broke! If you get the time, I would suggest skipping the tutorial from the menu so you can try the actual gameplay loop! Apologies for the inconvenience :(
