Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
You have just been hired in an Italian café and you have to go through your first week of work and learn the basics

Nice work! Super polished, esp for a jam. I do with the popups appeared faster, it definitely slowed me down, but I’m also clearly not cut out to be a barista.

A nice job simulator. Could use some animation, but beyond that it is close to ready.

It took me a while to figure out how to work all the stations, but pretty fun overall

Developer

Every station works differently. I hope the floating hints helped

took a while to get the hag of it but it was fun and got pretty tricky keeping up with the orders. Great art too!

Submitted(+1)

Pretty cool game, love the art. but pretty confusing at the start

Developer

It is because you just get started ;)

Developer

Art style is super cozy and love the music and SFX as well, nice job!! Although these types of games can get stressful (this one included) it's really fun :3

Developer(+1)

The art is cozy, the gameplay definitely not :P

Thank you for your kind words <3

Very nice game! It gets quite difficult very fast but it is fun to play. Clean art, i really like it :)

Really nicely done. It got hectic quickly, but in a very enjoyable way. The only thing I might think about changing is a tutorial which has action as well as images, although I know that's super hard with the time limit, and having to figure out the instructions while playing was also still fun in a different way. Great job!

Developer

Your game definitely have a better difficulty curve. Having played my game for a week I wasn't good in estimating the time needed to learn the game in the first level and haven't the time to do some testing with other people.

Adding an interactive tutorial is one of the thing I tell myself to do every game jam but in the end I don't have the time to do it. I totally need to learn how to do it.

Figuring out the keys was intentional. The hints appear after a couple of seconds, so if you know how to do you can do things faster. That was our take to "just get started"

Submitted

I usually struggle with the same thing for difficulty curve, but I tried to really keep it in mind for this jam, and I had some friends playtest the game, which is something I would totally recommend trying in order to get someone who isn't you playing the game to get actual feedback. I had them screenshare on a call, then told them to start playing with 0 info to see how they learned.

Its a really good game and I enjoyed it a lot. The game give you thrill when the timer starts running out and you have to give orders. I also accidentally got to know that we can use same blend at the same time to produce two quantities of the same blend at once. Its a really nice thing you made your game flexible.

Developer

Thank you for yout feedback. You are not the only one who get confused by that. Using the same three keys for doing everything can lead to wrong association

Fun hectic game! Very well made and a definite must play!

Only played the first two days because I was already about to get overwelmed(which isn't a bad thing for this kinda game). Needing to dispose of things already used, like having to throw away the coffee grounds or put the drinks back in the fridge, really threw off my flow. I was really enjoying the ramping steps to do but having to kinda "undo" a step felt weird to me. 

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, we are happy you enjoyed our game. We made the first level a little bit too difficult, the overwhelming feeling should arrive later, once you get used to the controls.

The visuals are superb, the gameplay gets quite difficult but its pretty fun once you get the hang of it. also love the indicator of which coffee is round and edge just by looking at the coffee grinders

Developer(+1)

thank you.

It was hard for us to figure out how to tell the difference to the player, we're glad to see that you have appreciated the difference :)

Wow all I can say is this is a super polished experience. The sound and music really contribute to the vibe and I love that each day has new mechanics to learn and manage. The art is great, feels very classy and cohesive.

Thank you so much!

Despite how stressful the game can get at times, it is surprisingly fun and addicting. I managed to get to Stage 4 but failed horribly at Stage 5.

The art style is really pretty and the game also feels very polished. This game is a must-play!

Developer

Thank you very much!!
