i honestly love the game! i've played it at least three times in one night, but i have yet to get the good ending... i don't know if i'm just horrible at it or if it's even possible to get 175 coins. i have no idea if you're still going to add more glasses because i can't seem to figure out how to get the measurement "thimbles" (i'm having a hard time getting the mana extract right) and "liquid drops" (i can't do the 10 liquid drops of milk the skeleton asks for).
i love the concept, but it could definitely still improve. now, i don't know anything about developing games but i do know that it's a tedious process, but i could give some recommendations to improve it.
1. OPTION TO SKIP READ DIALOGUE
when "hard mode" is unlocked (w/c also means that "normal mode" has been finished once). i wish there was a way to skip dialogue (or at least an option to auto-play the dialogue), because like i said, i played the game at least 3 times already, and it gets boring to click on dialogue i've seen multiple times already.
2. MORE CONTENT
(e.g. recipes, ingredients, tools) i don't know if this is just a demo or if it's already a full game, but it would be great to have more stuff to play around with.
3. TIPS
maybe it's just me, but i really CANNOT figure out some of the measurements (as mentioned above), so i'm missing out on some coins. it would probably defeat the purpose of the game (w/c is to figure out the how to make the recipes yourself), but a few tips on how to get the impossible (for me) measurements.
4. SPECIFIC RECIPES/ORDERS
i'm honestly really confused with the mana beer order (the one that asks for 3 mana flowers). the recipe states that the 2nd and 3rd step has to be repeated, so do i repeat those steps until i there are 3 mana flowers in total, or do i put 3 mana flowers immediately, then another 3?
another problem i have with this recipe is "to a total cooking time of 1 tock." does that mean i heat the drink for 1 more tock, or do i heat it until the total time i heated it (the ticks before the last step + the ticks on the last step) reaches 1 tock? i don't know if i explained that well, but i hope you understand.
don't get me wrong, i ADORE the game. the graphics are so cute, the dialogue is cute and funny, the recipes and orders make my brain work, the soundtrack is beautiful (and i love that each customer has their own 'sfx'). most of my recommendations are honestly just nitpicks, but i also honestly think that they could improve your already well-made game. i hope you take these into consideration! i'm really interested in what may come in the future!
