Jam Judge

Pretty hard but good game. I wasn't able to hit the 3k$.

The art is just awesome. Good palette choice and detailed pixel-art. However, it would be nice to have some visual distinction between beans.

Good audio too !

For the gameplay part, it made me happy when the customer said : "WOW! Best coffee ever." :) . However, I didn't really understood why was I getting a lot but like A LOT of mixed varieties. Buying new beans felt too punishing.  Like you said, the game is probably still a lot RNG based, because even after doing the maximum mix, I still wasn't able to satisfy them all.

But you did good work on the demand/offer comparison system, it feels really good.

Except for some balancing issues, that's a really good entry.

Wow, this game is hard. Not sure if it's still unbalanced, I am not lucky enough, or both. I just failed to get $3000 on the last day and lost my little cafe. I think for me the main issue is that coffee beans are just too expensive to experiment with, and with the fact that cross-breeding beans doesn't feel too worth it (besides free beans) because of how random the customers are, makes the game really RNG dependent. The concept is really good, though, and with a bit of polish and expansion, this can become something really good.

Other things I like:

  • Art is nice, I love the colour tone a lot
  • Music is catchy
  • I really enjoy the radar display of the beans, which removes a lot of guesswork and reading
  • Itch page looks great

Suggestions:

  • The game definitely needs some more balancing
  • The beans definitely need some graphics to support them. They all look and feel the same, even with the radar
  • Not getting good brews is almost a death sentence. It would be nice to have some leeway

Farm to Cup has very solid expression of the game jam theme. It really shines with its engaging and motivational gameplay. The visuals are very clean - the limited palette is fun, and the UI is quickly understood with the interactive tutorial system. The purchasable bean blends  make for an interesting  dynamic.  What a very solid jam game <3

Suggestions: I think that having a couple of different designs for the beans could make it easier to identify different types of coffee - perhaps 5 so that you can easily correlate the information in the balance readout to check beans based on their strongest attributes. [if they have more than one maxed out stat then perhaps a 6ths design to show that it has more than one powerful attribute. This is more a quality of life/ease of use suggestion.  

Do you intend to finish this game? 
What would you do if you had a bit more time?
