Very solid entry !

Easy to play, and fits the theme perfectly.

I especially found the sun progress bar very funny , think the night is finally over when the bar reaches the left part of the screen ... but nooooo :D

The music, also, was a very nice way to reinforce the alternance between days and night.

Well done !

so this had a NES ghost busters feel to it. then i realized i was playing door dash, while hopped up on coffee. then also the eldritch things ate me when i fell asleep.

Very solid game, although I wish there would've been more instructions

Awesome art style,love how it isn't just game over when you run out of coffee but you need to survive your nightmares! Good build up of intensity in the dreams, and failing is definitely inevitable, awesome job!

The cutscenes for falling asleep / waking up were beautiful! I would have liked some indication whether the game had an ending or not, as it kept going and there were variations in the level but no obvious "end state" in sight. Solid entry though, good job!

damn the video pixel art cutscenes are amazing, love that style!

Love the FMV cutscenes and sound effects, really helps set the mood. I made the mistake of playing the game without going through the tutorial, but once I did that it was an interesting take on pacman haha

this game reminded me packmap! =)

Very good game. I liked the retro feel of the game. It felt like I was playing one of my old games on the Atari 800 computer.

The game managed to really interest me! Great art and music created an incredible atmosphere, especially after falling asleep, and the gameplay, although simple, is fun. Well done!

At first when I ran out of energy I thought that was the end of the game...but then the sleep mode! wow, nice addition.

Very nice twist on the classics!

Love the coffee theme! The pixel art is just right. The music matches the art style.

This is a really clean jam game! I enjoyed it.

Thanks for this nice game!

Special mention to the graphics for my part, which reminded me of my childhood memories.

I like the music too, old school as I like.

I also like the fact that you don't really die, but that you enter the world of nightmares where you have a second chance to get out of it, that's really cool I think! I didn't expect it and I was pleasantly surprised!

To make things even more spicy and intense I would like to have a x1,5 or x2 mode, so that it's really hard from the beginning (like the difficulty of the first PacMan for example, it was hard at the first level, remember?), because at the beginning when everything is quiet and easy, as a fast player, I'm a bit bored... :wink:

Thanks again, if you do a speed mode let me know and I'll try again! :yum:

That was really great. Good job on your entry

I could hustle 546 before i fell asleep! That's probably pretty bad. Luckily your game isn't! :D I've had my fun with it and especially like the day/night switch, which came as a surprise at first. Also, great cutscenes in between the levels! Are the levels randomly generated or are there just a number of pre-made layouts? Nonetheless, nice job!

The game I can play even I'm not very good in that. Well done!

Fun game.. i wasn't able to get the coffee in some situations though .. dunno if the collider got disabled or something. Eventually, I fell asleep due to that.

Ahh, I love when my coffee demons come out and try to kill me. Had a fun time playing this one, nice job! Game was pretty straightforward, took about 20 seconds to find out what I needed to do without any real prompts, so good work on that too.

Very nice

This would've made a great 80s arcade game :smile_cat: I feel like I know what it's like to work for Deliveroo now.
