I could listen to this soundtrack all day, and the cat graphics are ADORABLE.
A few things though. It took me a few playthroughs to figure out that I had to do the components in a certain order. It would help if there was an instruction screen or something.
It's so cute! Really good game
Great aesthetic and art. I agree with the poster above the order mechanic was confusing at first, it felt like there was no feedback if I was doing something wrong. Other than that issue, good game!
They are so adorable and the artstyle is just *chef kiss*!
I actually laughed out loud at how adorable this is!! Great variation of "customers" and love that there's a dog once a while hahahaha. I couldn't give the pastries to them, but I made a crap ton of drinks. It would be nice to have a tutorial because I didn't know there were cup differences for a while. Fully admit, I played it for longer than I should. Couldn't see the scores because the screen size on the ludum dare website, but I found it!
The game is really cute and the music also :) I was a bit confused at first, a little tutorial screen or something would have been nice. I only got orders for bubble teas over and over, idk if that's normal, I was curious to see other type of orders but maybe I didn't play long enough. The cats are quite impatient I was really stressed by the time even when doing my best ^^' Anyway I liked the game, wanted to see more!
Great game! We have extremely similar games, I would love for you to try mine! I really enjoyed the art style, but as others have mentioned its very confusing at a first glance and I think there is a bug where it does show when you add pearls or fruit to a cup and they have to be placed in a certain order. This led to me being very confused at first and I had to power through to figure it out. Fantastic job nonetheless!
What a cute game! The mechanics felt very smooth :0 Sometimes, I would put in ingredients in a different order so it wouldn't display my drink until I put all 3 in, but at least the ingredients are placed such that I would usually naturally do the right order! I kept waiting to make something other than tea, but once a pastry came in, I had forgotten the instructions for making a pastry and lost :sweat_smile: For the time constraints, really good job!!! I think the game just needed a little bit more tuning regarding the timings.
I'm crazy about cat designs! Totally cute! I would suggest that the art work be distinct when arranging items in sequence, such as Dark Tea/Green Tea, then jar with sweets, then adding Fruit/Milk. I'm sure you planned for Tea, Fruit/Milk, and Sweets, but it would be good if we could change it.
BUT, in general, this was a lot of fun! I'll say it again: the kitties are gorgeous! Thank you kindly!

I love it! So cute!
Hits a good balance between relaxing and (good) pressure. And the dog in the cat suit had me rolling!
Omg this is my favourite type of game! I really liked the variety of drinks and food you can make, the pacing was good as well. The BGM really fit the cute vibe but it might need to be normalized or the frequencies might need some balance, sometimes it gets a bit harsh. Well done game!
Really reminds me of Cat Cafe (by kupogames) mixed with Club Penguin's pizza minigame, in the best possible way.
I'm CRYING this is so cute. I love the artwork and the pacing. It makes it challenging but still really fun. I really like this this take on a cafe simulator.
Couldn't resist with the cat. So relexing and adorable.
Really great job with this! It was a little hard to figure out what was going on, but after restarting a few times I got the hang of it. The art is beautiful and I had a fun time!
Yeah, I don't get paid enough for this! Great work!!!
cuteeeee, such a mood :3 loved the game, even if it was a bit hard to figure out what to do in the begining. only issue was the verly loud soundtrack wich feeled destroyed but even the track was fun <3
Super cute game! I was shoving a ton of pastries into my oven haha
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and I agree with other posters that it was a bit difficult to understand what items were needed and in what order. I think some feedback with sound effects or some indicators would go a long way to making it more obvious - at least at the beginning. I enjoyed my time with it regardless!
I really enjoyed this game. I love the art style, aesthetics and audio, and it is also really cute. Great work!
Love the art, love the music.
Game itself is not intuitive to learn.... it's 2:30am and i gave up lol
Really great game. Each of the items were very clear in what they do so it wasnt too hard to get the hang of. The pastries were confusing at first but then I realised I had to pre-prepare them which I thought was actually a really cool idea (though I did end up getting overloaded with croissant orders at the end that I couldnt cook in time).
The aesthetic was awesome and it was fun to see the faces on the cats at the got more impatient. There was a minor bug where I would put ingredients in a certain order and they wouldn't appear until I added the rest. It was a bit confusing but it didnt make the game any less fun. Great job, really enjoyed this game
Cute and challenging!
The art is phenomenal! Everything visual fits so well together than there's not one thing I can say about it other than how great it is. The drawback to how great the visuals are: it makes all of the other pieces that aren't so polished stand out. Things like audio loops that have long dead spaces before replaying, bugs like ingredients not showing up in the cup until the order is complete (this one really got me and made it kind of unplayable past a point which was very disappointing because I wanted to love everything), loading screens flashing up for only a fraction of a second, and somewhat confusing gameplay without a tutorial are all things that are normally expected of game jam games.
Luckily, all of everyone's complaints about the game are solved easily with a little more time! It is an incredible submission for the time frame with very fixable problems. More polish on the mechanics, sound, and a smidgen on the UI can make this game an actual marketable product!
Strong consistent user experience. Everything is click and drag. Awesome Aesthetic choice with UI and Assets. I personally had some trouble with the clicking and dragging. Cook Serve Delicious really has something to watch out for!
"Paws" when you mouseover "Pause". ADORABLE. Had a bit of trouble figuring out the controls at the start, but then I realized that the tutorial's written on the page description. Overall very cute and overwhelmingly pawsitive.
Really fun. Cute, cats, you got it all. I had trouble building stuff: sometimes the drag and drop didn't want to work? Not sure if I was missing some rule (e.g. can only make one drink at a time) or if it was some ingredients can't mix. Anyway, really great work team! Awesome :)
Beautiful art! The recipes are great, and learning curve smooth. I just struggled a bit understanding the coffee. Impressive work here :)
The artwork is great and the gameplay is quite fun! I wish there was some way to see how many of each pastry I have prepared, though.
Nice one, here are some thoughts:
1. There is no way of figuring out if a drink I made is correct. Even giving an empty cup gives 100 points. :confused: 2. Also if I return a cup between two cats, both of them will leave satisfied.
I feel that this game has great potential, keep up the good work! :smiley:
Very cute! Got the "wrong ingredient order means you can't see some of the ingredients right away" bug that other people mentioned, but it did get me in the habit of playing in the correct order. Also saw weird behavior after going back to the main menu and trying again. This got my cravings going; gonna hit up a boba shop in the morning.
It took me some time to figure how the UI actually worked, but as soon as I got it right, it felt really great! The game is smooth, and allows the player to organize by himself freely, which is good! However, I ran into some weird issue. On my first playthrough, I totally screwed up, but for some reason, never got the "Too slow" game over screen. But as soon as I started to play better, I got this game over super often. To the point I couldn't play for more than about ~1-2 minutes. I probably messed up somewhere, but to me, it feels like the game over condition is inconsistent in some weird way. Is it adapting to the player skills or something?
