How does your game fit the theme?
Each shop purchase is a random selection of items
Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?
We created the vast majority of the art during the game jam
Did your team create the vast majority of the music during the 48 hours?
We used pre-existing audio
Not surprised I got hooked by this, it's an addictive formula. And in this case well packaged!
Stupid me couldn't figure out the soil at first, but other than that I feel the game is very user-friendly!
Good job and congratulations on finishing the jam!
10:30 first run 7:11 second run
this game is actually very fun, liked it so much!! awesome job
there is actually a way to lose, and i managed to do it: you can lose if you run out of ice and money when making the first smoothie
Really cool and creative game! The transition from the beginning to end game is a bit jarring, and it would have been really nice if you could purchase addition tracks to combine things in so you could manage things a bit more and really build up to complete automation. A fantastic game overall, excellent work!
That was a really fun and refreshing game! (pun intended) When I found out there's a timer, of course I had to play it again and again until I'm happy with my time: 8:30. I'm hoping you extend this game to have ascensions and other things you usually see in idle games.
I've had the displeasure of working at a smoothie shop and this captures the nicer parts of it.
I truly enjoyed the cute art style and the humor of some recipes. Maybe ice could've been a separate item button?
Regardless, very fun. Awesome work!
Very fun! Classic idle clicker loop. I agree with a previous commenter, having to change to the recipes tab is a little annoying, I would have preferred to just always see it somewhere.
I'm not sure where it would fit best, the immediate thing that comes to mind is to just have the buy/recipe tabs split 50/50 on the right, but I don't know if that would make it too small. You could also have it along the bottom of the screen maybe? I don't think it's a super big deal, once you do each recipe a few times you don't need to reference it as much any long.
Pretty cool idea. Nice to see something not explicitly dice related.
I think it could do with a little balancing - I just spammed the first 2 drinks over and over. I also hurt my finger from clicking my mouse so fast, so maybe a sell maximum button would have been useful.
Overall though, really good fun to play :)
I can imagine your finger hurting after that! If you only ever make the first 2 drinks you won't get to reach the automation part which is where the fun really starts! The final drink is a lot more profitable to automate.
I agree it needs a sell maximum button, oversight on my part.
Other than that, did you have any suggestions?
You might also want to look at balancing what items each purchase gives you. For example, the basic fruit one gives you bananas, but I couldn't do anything with them for quite a while. I didn't know when I would actually be using them so I ended up collecting 100s of them. If there was a way of seeing how they were going to be used, it might have given me an objetive to work towards. This could be done, for example, by showing all recipes from the start, but only revealing the ingredients you have so far. A recipe that was say 'banana, ice and sprinkles' would show up as 'Banana, ice and ???' until you get sprinkles for the first time.
Idk if that made sense, but thats maybe how I'd do it.
Thanks for the suggestion! The problem is, you can buy any ingredient right at the start of the game, so if all the recipes only required knowing what the ingredient was to reveal themselves, you could skip making them all and jump straight to the most profitable one and win a lot faster. That said, that's where the fun begins so maybe that would be the best approach
Feels really polished! Insane that you were able to finish this within 4 hours of the game jam :) My one and only point of criticism would be that the theme could have been more deeply incorporated but that is a very minor complaint. Overall the game is great!
I think the existing mechanics function really well so I'd just expand upon them: more recipes, more things you can buy, more items a.s.o.
A feature which would be nice is to be able to "auto fill" a recipe if you have made it before, would reduce the amount of time spent drag & dropping ingredients back and forth.
Really nice and fun idle game! The feeling of automating everything is really great!
Not sure how it fits the theme but it was fun anyway! Congrats!
Addicted :(. Port this to mobile and I would buy it immediately. Such charming and cute arts, with engaging gameplay and funny jokes. The only things I can complain about is that the menu seems like it's cut off a bit, and for some reason the game doesn't register my mouse scroll, but aside from that, fantastic work! Can't wait to see some hardcore speedrunner optimize the fun out of this game lol.
