Very weird choice to make it time based with only a single life for every stage.
Way to difficult for my old fingers.

Such an ambitious game to make for a jam! All the sprites and UI are really clear and Intuitive , i immediately knew what to do. Very cool take on the theme altogether. Though I felt  so bad when i made the cute robot sad ! Thanks for jamming ✨

Developer

Thank you Mr. ComputerJames! :)

Super cool concept for a game, but like the others I really felt that difficulty spike

I'll also agree that the building does feel a little clunky. It took me a minute to figure out that you could destroy tiles with right click, and it was a bit strange that I couldn't overwrite which tile it was if it had already been placed

Big thing I love about this game was the robot. I love how expressive he is! Like how hopeful he is on the title screen, and how he cries when he starts taking heavy damage

Overall the sprite work was amazing with this game. From the coffee beans to the sugar cubes, everything is so on point, and I love it

Good stuff!

Wow! Great game!

The building feels very unfair, but the idea is great. This is the best game concept I've seen in the jam so far, I would even dare to say that this can become a complete 5$ game if you develop it further. It just needs more time to build and better building controls (like hotkeys, drag building, and stuff like that). Keep it up!

Developer(+1)

Woah, thank you! Yes we are currently working on a patch for after the jam so we'll see what we do with the game. Some great feedback, thank you. :3

Developer

Thank you!!! :)

Very clever idea for a game! I found it a bit difficult but still very fun and I enjoyed it :)

Love automation games and the coffee theme worked great! I think adding drag controls, 1/2/3 to select pipe types and pausing would make  a huge difference!

I liked it, but too often I felt myself not knowing what something was so some tutorials would help!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yes a pause and some hotkeys would be a great addition to this I think ^^

This is so cool I love the concept of this game. I need a baby mode that lets me pause and reset levels while I'm building, I'm way too dumb to figure out where the pipes should go in like 18 seconds while it's counting down. Great job on this it is very cool!

Developer

thank you for playing! Yeah currently the only way to pause the liquid is to block it with a rotated pipe hehe. Also don't think the game is beatable past level 3 without using some exploits.

I enjoyed playing it but I am not a clever man.

I am too stupid to play this game
