Nice idea. I wasn't really sure how to create the various drinks. I feel like some sort of tutorial or at least diagram for making the drinks would be helpful.

Looks very interesting but despite trying for a while I cannot understand how to make the drinks.

I loved the art style of your game and the gameplay fits the theme, but as the others said, I'm not sure how to correctly fix the drinks. So far I've only managed plain water or cocoa and milk, and even though it looked right, the customers weren't happy. A Tutorial of some sort would have been extremely helpful. But still, good job!

I managed to make a couple of orders correctly but i think that this game need some sort of tutorial/recipe book. Nice concept!

I made 28.42 $ so I think I was successful :) As a fan of Job Simulator, I absolutely love your game and hope you are keep on working on it! Just like the others said, the controls are hard to figure out and it's difficult to hit the right spot (especially the Pickup spot where I had to re-position the cups very often). But this is not really critical for me. Great job!

As someone who doesn't drink coffee I couldn't really figure out which ingredients to use for the various drinks. They were all just different browns to me that were different to what they actually looked like in the cup.

I couldn't figure out what to do, unfortunately. I enjoyed the music and the look of it, but it definitely needs a tutorial, or even just labels on the various buttons and items.

This was wonderfully relaxing, thank you! Would have loved a bit more instructions at the start, as I never worked as a barista, but it was also fun to figure stuff out on my own :D

I love this! I have little to no experience with making coffee and this takes me back when I actually needed to make some! This is pretty how I quickly picked it up and got hooked on this game. It's very addicting and the sounds are very well made!

Good job!

Well made game with good graphics, animations, music and SFX. As others have mentioned, its tough to figure out how to make stuff. I felt I got the hang of making the various coffees, figuring out that the order showed the ratio of coffee, milk and cocoa, but I could not figure out the tea. The tea bag bounced around like crazy when I grabbed it, and I did not seem to be able to pick up the tea from the drawer.

The game looks like fun and very interactive. It's brimming with potential and could make for a very quirky and amusing experience. Yet, I know nothing about coffee or how to make it, and I'm at a loss at what to do or how to act. I managed to make some weird blends here and there, but it's disappointing that I don't really know what I'm doing.

You could really add some instructions, even off-game if necessary, to make for a more enjoyable experience. Do let me know if you do, and I'll be more than happy to check this game again. [In behalf of my team](twitter.com/whalesandgames), we'd really like to check a more intuitive version of this game if you come around providing instructions. Cheers! :whale:

Good work, maybe it wouldn't hurt to have some instructions, but beyond that is a very nice game

Simple game, without many explanations which makes interesting the experimentation of the player. Congratulations.

Jogo simples, sem muitas explicações o que torna interessante a experimentação do jogador. Parabéns. :flag_br:
