Game description
Groove Café is a 3D rhythm game where you play as the newest barista on a sunny island café that runs on music. Play mini games and hit the notes to keep the coffee brewing and the customers groovin'!

Theme interpretation
We incorporated the theme of waves into many aspects of the game. The setting takes place on an island, and the rhythm gameplay is designed around being hit by waves of notes, just like ocean waves. Even the rush hour mechanic reflects this: during busy periods, you’re overwhelmed by waves of customers, creating a fast and chaotic flow.

Hey guys, the game looks great and I really like the idea from the game's description! 

Unfortunately the version of the game that's available to download seems unfinished. I seem to be able to start the "grind hour" and "flavor fill" minigames, but both of them just look like the screenshot below, and seem to just go forever with me just pressing spacebar to press the button and cups coming in and out of screen. 

The music and art is great, maybe I've missed something but I'd love to play a fixed version of the game!

We had some troubles in the development but we'll upload a playable demo very soon. Thank you for playing and for the feedback :)

What I liked:

- cool visual style, cozy

- music matching the art style, cozy as well

What I disliked (*note don't put much weight on this feedback, I'm from the queue; not a fan of the genre):

- Enter to continue the dialog, Space or Left Mouse Click would likely be more intuitive

- No idea what to do, I started walking with this shy girl character, couldn't interact with anything, then randomly a screen popped up, I hit play, and there's this juicer. The only interaction I could do is click? (IDK didn't do anything except the arm animation as if clicking), cups were coming in, there seems to be some text leftover from debugging or smth that says things like Duration: xx or Finished (BTW it finished even if I did no button presses). Finally, the cups stopped showing up, the music stopped, and I think it crashed completely. I'll give it another try, doesn't look good for now tho 😐.

- second try, same issues
