Took a bit to understand what to do but very cute and fun little game! Wish there was some more sound to go along with the comfy atmosphere! Very nice idea, great job :)

Developer

Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words! Totally hear you on the learning curve and the audio—jam timing meant I couldn’t finish everything I wanted yet. I’m planning a clearer in-game tutorial and richer soundscape (ambient cafĂ©, machine/UI cues, simple mixing). I’ll keep polishing until it feels truly intuitive and cozy. Really appreciate the feedback!

Loved how clean and smooth this felt. Took a bit of back and forth between the steps in the summary and the game screen, so I mimic the below requests of a tutorial. Also would've loved more audio. Otherwise, very nice gameplay! Great game.

Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words! You’re right about the back-and-forth between the summary and the game screen — I’m planning an inline/tutorial flow with contextual prompts so you don’t have to leave the action. I’ll also expand the audio (more ambience, machine/UI cues) and add simple volume controls. If there’s a moment you’d especially like to hear more of, I’m all ears. Thanks again!

When I got the hang of it it was really nice and soothing to play! Definitely would like to see more of a tutorial if you work on this more, good work!

Developer

Thank you! I’m really glad it felt soothing once it clicked. I hear you on the tutorial—I'll add a clearer step-by-step onboarding and contextual tips so it’s easier to get the hang of things. I’m continuing to polish the game, and my goal is to make it genuinely pleasant and easy to learn. Appreciate you playing and the encouragement!

The art and premise is really lovely, however I found the mechanics a bit confusing. Would love to see more of a tutorial, and also more audio if you continue to work on it. Thanks for sharing your project!

Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful feedback! I agree the mechanics need clearer onboarding. I’m actively refining things: adding an in-game tutorial (step-by-step, context tips), tightening the flow so actions feel more intuitive, and expanding the audio (ambient cafĂ©, machine/UI cues, volume controls). I’ll keep polishing until it’s genuinely pleasant and easy to learn. Really appreciate you playing and sharing—this helps a ton!
