Great artwork and loved the design of the little treats :3 I think it would've been nice if the recipes were a little more visible or there was some game aspect of learning them, but overall nice game!!

I won't lie, I spent like 5 minutes making raw slurry cause I didn't scroll down for the ingredients list. Whoops!

This was very chill and casual, I think I would've preferred some kind of objective or obstacle - if not a time limit, maybe just a set amount of customers? It's very tricky to make suggestions that aren't just drawn straight out of the Papa Louie series. I also think this could do with some quality of life additions - sometimes I royally fuck up the recipe and make the world's nastiest mocha & want to try again, but I can't go on without poisoning my customer.

That said, the artstyle is very cute & would absolutely suit a full release. Consider building on this concept a bit.

The artwork is adorable! I love these kinds of management games :D At first I was confused because the ingredients were dragged in, but the cup was selected by clicking, so I ended up dragging the ingredients straight into the cups without selecting anything haha. Overall, it's a charming and chill game!

Would have loved some audio to fit it, but looks/plays great :D !

Really cute, I found I could make a drink before using a cup for awhile lol !!

Rly cute game! maybe you could add the recipe in the corner maybe as a poster? This game is amazing but it would be better with some music and the recipe in the game! ❤️

Cute little cafe game! Would love to see a post jam version of this with the missing recipe book you mentioned in another comment and some sounds to make it really feel complete!

I liked the concept of this, reminds me of games the like of Papa's Freezeria. The game over-all was pretty buggy / hard to figure out for me though. There is also a lack of audio, unless something is broken on my end.

My main problem is, for example, I thought you had to drag the ingredients directly into the glass/mug on the bottom left of the screen instead of clicking on them and then dropping in the ingredients. There's also a bug where you can drag the ingredients into the middle of the table even if you haven't selected a glass or a mug.

The concept of an external recipe book that's needed also makes gameplay a bit cumbersome, as I wish the recipe ingredients needed would've shown up inside the game itself (showing the ingredients on the top right  of the screen next to the final result, or having a clickable recipe book)

The art is very pretty however, and I love the lil references like the Steven Universe cookie cat and the lil Fin cupcake

Cute artstyle! Had a hard time grasping the controls tho.

I made a similar mixing game awhile back and for the time to take in short span this was overall pretty good.
I wish there was more UI telling me recipes to how to make things I struggled or atleast an undo button but once it was made I was forced to serve so no room for trial and error. 
I know sound didnt make it but I feel adding 30 min to harmonious bg music or coffee shop music would help this go along way. Cute hand drawn style though.

Thank you for playing!! I had the functionality for a recipe book, but ran out of time to add all the images so took it out- I've just finished making a recipe list to go on the page itself rather than in the game, sorry I didn't get it on there sooner for you!! :)

No worries. Feel free to check out on my profile pixel chef. It may help you post jam if you intend to continue development. it may help  for UI issue for you later.
