This was such a beautiful looking little game! Good work, I love looking at it so much.
Also, the gameplay loop is solid, and complete. And with voice work too!
Is the one disappointed customer from the tutorial mandatory?
Regardless, I love it, great job!
omg what a lovely game, so polished with vocals and amazing art. I really liked the order concept and that it could be played on phone. Overall an amazing entry well done!
Really amazing art style! If you don’t mind can you please share how you did it? Did you have to manually scan each asset? Also the overall cafe ambience is pretty nice!
Love the artstyle. I can clearly see why this one is on top rated. I can predict this one will be on top 10... the feeling is just great.
I love the paper art style! the cute animals and voice lines added a lot to it, and the gameplay, while simple, works :>
the art and music are 10/10!
i didn't see the connection with the limitation. it's there to affect the artistic aspect of it, but i thought the idea was for it to be part of the core game mechanics.
i love the gameplay, the idea that you can eat what you dont need to gain speed to get what you need is so cool!
are all the animals nocturnals only? i actually don't know much about animals, but if it is that case that's such a cool detail too!
Its quite funny when I was rating games I saw your comment on someones page and I recognized your profile picture and was like "omg thats the girl from birds of othala" :D , we participated in the Hero themed game jam 2 years ago and your artstyle just got stuck in my head haha
Again extremely nice artstyle im a big fan!! At some point the game bugged out when we got at around 4 stars and we couldnt serve any customers anymore :( Had fun tho!!
Oh my god you have no idea how much this comment means to me!!!! That was my first ever game jam, it was so fun!!!
I love your stuff and art style toooo excited to follow the things you make <3
Nicee!! I still have to play your other games!
Hoo thank you so much I have a stupid smile on my face now haha
love the foraging almost farm to table as experience mechanic. lovely presentation too!
Very cute game, nailed the cafe theme.
Wow! The visual style is really beautiful!
And the mechanics are interesting too — having to collect food on the field, and being able to speed up by eating the wrong food, is a cool touch!
The gameplay could use a little bit more depth, the art style is definitely the best aspect. Loved the little rabbit and characters.
I love the the artstyle so much, its so cute and has so much personality, as well as the little voices for the critters. I think the gameplay needs a bit more depth tho as it was too easy for me
It's a very cute game and enjoyable gameplay! It's fun to collect fruits for the forest dwellers! bu Is it too difficult to score 5 stars(
The art is AMAZING!
The art style is so cute! I love it so much! This might just be me, but when I try to play in the browser, I'm not able to click or interact with the play button to start the game.
thank you SO much for sending this screenshot! I think I fixed the scaling issue if you want to go back and try to play it :)
anytime! thank you for sending me one too! all fixed and the gameplay is so cute. I love love love the little quotes at the end
Thanks the comments, indeed I also need to zoom at 150% in web version to play. The game is very pretty, congratulations ! :)
thank you so much!!! I hopefully fixed the scaling issue now, if you have time to try it and let me know I'd be so grateful <3
Yes it's ok now :)
I love the art, it's really cute and the game is super polished.
Unfortunately, the resolution isn't right, but it looks nice :) It's also heavier than I thought :D
This is suche a cute art style! Was confused at first because I didn't wanted to eat the pear because it was my only item but then I figured out the game won't progress without eating it.
Nicely done! Had 10 happy and 1 unhappy customer in the end :)
thank you so much!!! sounds like you ran a good cafe, nice job! :)
Oh, I'm impressed! Such a cozy vibe and enjoyable gameplay. I especially enjoy servicing mice (I don't know why). Thanks for the tutorial at the start. It feels so natural. It's how it should be (I hate text dialogues, which are usually used as a cheap way to do this).
I found some bugs: the Play button is under the logo; the game doesn't work with specific browser settings (the game needs to download something from the Unity cloud, and this blocked by client). But I was pleasantly surprised that it works perfectly on my phone! It has an invisible joystick. So, this is one of the few games (there are really few on jams) that I can play on my phone.
Thank you for the kind comment, it means so much to me!! I also love the little mice.
And thank you so much for writing out all of the feedback - I hopefully fixed the scaling issues now. I was pretty proud and excited about how easy it was to get it to work on the phone!! I noticed yours does too - nice job with that!
