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!
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
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.
