The cats get mad so quickly! They really need their coffee haha, the game is very cute, cosy and the visuals are top notch! I would have appreciated an ingame recipe book but to be fair there are only 3 recipes to memorise :3 The balance feels a little off but all the core stuff is there and I really enjoyed playing! Great job :3

This is a very moody game. The art style is very cute and the sound effects and music are also nice.
An in-game recipe guide would be nice. I needed it to have the tutorial image in the corner while playing.
I found the customers to be very impatient, and it was a bit frustrating that serving them felt like an impossible task at the very beginning. I would suggest that a gradually increasing challenge could be built into it.

The outcome of your work on this was exemplary. Well done!

This is a simple yet fun little game, and I enjoyed it a lot! I like the art style and the adorable cats a lot. The gameplay loop is simple but effective. The three coffee recipes are easy to understand and do, and really bring a nice balance of being busy running across the working area, and still being able to serve customers with relative ease. Nice job!

For some criticism I'd say the rate where customers spawned is a bit too quick, and with the relative long peperation time for each cup of coffee, some customers are bounded to be missed. Maybe it's a skill issue, but I don't think it's possible to do all customers, and that's not a good feeling. Perhaps you should leave a bit more delay between customers, which would make the game feel better to play. I would also suggest putting the recipe somewhere in the game and possibly making it always visible on-screen. This is probably one of the most important information the player needs, and it's a bit odd that it's just there as a screenshot.

Anyway, this is still a very nice entry! You should be proud of yourself making this game!

Nice game. Graphics are good. Music is cozy, but the game is a bit hectic, especially the last recipe. And discard also takes a while. Maybe right click to throw it to the leaving customer? :)

This really scratcheddd the itch for my need for more animals in this jam. Loved the coffee concept very easy to follow and understand.

I think for improvements better animations on the sprites more frames could be done. Some more options sliders as well. Minor polishing. 

Good job!

Nice and simple mechanics. Love the meows and purrs. Not sure why these cats are drinking coffee but it was great

Submitted(+1)

A bit hard with the current customer patience, especially for the blended drink. But very fun and I love the cat theme!! The meows when you give them their order are very cute.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback <3 Definitely something to look into, we're had a lot of feedback that the frappe is not enough time to make!

Developer

hahah we'll look into it :) thanks for the feedback

I really like the graphics of the game and the "nothing can go wrong" concept of having the machines break down!

Submitted(+1)

This is fun! It really throws you into the action right away, I enjoyed serving the customers and the art and sound design is very nice. Great work!

Submitted(+1)

Nice and cozy game! I love the sound they make when you give them the right drink xP Hope you keep working on it and adding more recipes!

So cute! I had fun running around and fixing things lol

Once I figured out the recipes, I enjoyed the repetition of the game. By the third play through I think I figured out how to manage the queue at least semi-effectively.

Submitted(+1)

Lovely! I really like the art. There's also a lot of content for a 7-day long jam :)

Developer

Thank you :))

A Good game overall, felt it was a bit difficult however.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! We've had a few people say that, definitely something to look into :)

I'm sure all of the stuff in this coffee shop are made in Ch*na. 

Joke aside, very fun little game. The music is chill and calm, making a stark contract with the fast, chaos game's pace.

The blurry pixel when your character moving hurt my eyes a bit.

Check out our Dredge-like game too!

Nice game! Would be even better with a pouring ice sound effect. 
I love those cats as well

Developer

That's a great idea!! We will add it, eventually :D
