Nice. I love the idea with the post-it faces of the customers :grin:

Definitely a really chill game. I enjoyed the vibe, and as a barista, enjoyed the drinks you had haha. ANYWAYS. I played up until buying the windows, but yeah everything meshed well. I think it definitely gave the impression of a dream cafe, a kind of recipe like game where you make drinks, etc. If this game had some sort of tutorial it would be amazing, I think at the start I was a bit confused why they only asked for water, I thought the game would automatically progress, afterwards getting water for the 20th time, I think I realized that you would have to buy the machines to progress and get more money. This, and dragging the menu, I thought it was a bit weird at first until I got used it the 4th or 5th time around, and it felt right to me as well! On another note, it was also a bit frustrating when I had an order last second, with the drink, and suddenly when i dragged it too fast, it would hit something and get refreshed. The ice is not that obvious as well, I'm pretty sure some of my drinks I swear that I had ice in, did not, maybe a more obvious textures/mesh/cube for ice? All in all, I really enjoyed the game, definitely one of the longer games I played because of that too.

Very cool game, I like those type of games, so it was pretty easy to like it.

I'm waiting for the VR version.

Hello,

This game overall was really pretty and I liked the music.

There are a lot of things I would change though. 1. the menu + holding scroll wheel was a bit much for the menu/ I think it could have been easier to use. I did not understand that I had to use the menu to see how to complete certain recipes until like 5 minutes into the game. Also Money on the main screen would be nice because having to go back in the menu to see the money was frustrating.

I lived the mood and vibe of this game, and the humor with the combo of drinks and recipes was a nice touch.

good work all around but just some user experience things I think that would greatly benefit the game :D

@syafire thanks for the feedback and for streaming it! watching you play it was pretty fun

I've took the little time before the deadline to improve some of those rough edges :)

@fzsa-v thanks for the feedback and for playing it for such a long time hahahaha, i'm glad the setbacks were not, in the end, that much of an impediment to the overall enjoyment

I was a bit confused at first but I got it eventually, it's a pretty innovative game I love how the milk machine is a giant milk box lol, pretty well done!

I must confess I learned a few recipes here. Your game made me a better person!

PS: Also, I love how you can shake the glass even without any liquids in it for the recipes. Might try that at home the next time.

Very cozy! Loved the Pill people with drawn on faces! Brought me back to when I worked as a barrista!
