Simple and nice game but I found a bug. If you make coffee while you have a coffee in your hand the machine never breaks.

Developer

The game uses random numbers when choosing if the machine is going to break, maybe you got really lucky! Anyway, I'll check the code and submit a new update as soon as the jam ends! Thanks for your feedback!

I played 3 levels without it breaking ones.

Developer

Uhm, I'll change the system that chooses how many times the machine brokes then! Thanks for letting me know!

Great art and music. The mechanics are really fun and make a great challenge. The highest day i reached is 5 cause im an absolute bot.  Either way, this is a really good game!

Keep it up guys!

Nice art (could've used animation)

I thought the upgrade screen could've been clearer - the text was too small and cut off, and i think maybe it should be visible even when you don't have the money - to provide incentive. for a while i thought the money was pointless.

Some of the obstacles feel quite arbitrary and there is no way to avoid them - the coffee machine breaking down for example, and the floor patterns can often swap right when you're walking on it, slipping you up of no fault of your own. That being said, it is a delightfully tense experience.

Sound was alright, although i won't judge you on the music because you didn't make it. Good choice of music though.

It tangentially fits the theme - not much collaboration if you ask me.

A lot that could've been better - but 4 stars because i liked it anyway

Thank you so much for your feedback, the update panel could have been easier to understand but it was one of the things I did last. I'm glad you liked my musical choice!

cool game, i like the art, but i think it would be more fun if making the coffe would be some kind of minigame or something like that, same as repairing the machine. I liked the  piss-spawning mechanic coz it made me a bit more cautious, though.

I'm happy you liked it!

PS: now, that I was reading the comments, I realized that it would be much more fun as local multiplayer with point system and ability to sabotage each other. Please add that. I beg you.

Developer (1 edit)

It's a good feature! The problem is that the game is done in my game engine in c++, and I have no idea if it will be an easy addition, I'll think about it!
