Loved this one! Very enjoyable, loved the silly animal character designs (the snake is my favourite) would love to see more customers. Very good job all around!

How does your game fit the theme?
It's a fun twist on the "tapper" genre! Not only are the patrons zoo animals, but they have all come "out of their boxes" (enclosures) to see you after a long day at work! (the zoo)

Very fun game! I struggled a bit at first when clicking, dragging, discarding, and putting back stuff. But once you get the mechanics, you get to enjoy a pretty cozy game. Nice artwork as well! Overall very good job.
This is really polished! I liked the loop and the sprites and sounds were all great.
I love this game so much. My only comment is when the drink overflowed it was really loud and I got jumpscared lol. No but seriously absolutely adore this game
Beautiful artwork, and very creative idea! I had a little trouble getting any significant score and wasn't sure where I was going wrong, per se, but the proof of concept for this game is solid!
I found I wasted a lot of time going back and forth to check the order on animals - maybe it would be better to just have the order appear above each animal and stay there to reference visually instead of having to move the cursor?
Nice work, very lovely illustrations.
Its a good game! I do wish that it was more obvious how to do certain drinks, as I got confused with how exactly to make the mixed drink, but after finding out how to create the drink, my experience was certainly enjoyable! A pop-up menu you can open and close could be a cool idea for how to make drinks etc
Your game is very enjoyable. I thought the animals were going to eat me if I didn't deliver their orders, hahaha. Congratulations.
Hi!! Thanks so much for your critique :) So the drink system works as follows:
each animal has a preferred glass, which we kept intentionally ambiguous to add an element of 'figuring out' which animal prefers which glass. It's roughly based on their size in real life (small, medium, and large animals correlate to the small, medium and large glasses)
to make a beer, you drag a glass from where they are stored onto the beer pump. you click the pump to begin filling the glass, and you must click again to stop the pour before it spills!
To make the cocktails, you must combine the spirit and mixer located in the fridge. This works by dragging one bottle over the glass first, and then the other, to create the final drink. The order of colours in the drink is a hint to which order they need to be made in ;)
In future games we'll definitely polish the controls and make gameplay elements way more easy to understand! Hopefully this provides some insight <3
I really loved the art and was drawn into the game from it!
The animal designs are all so unique with so much character (love the elephant). I really liked the idea but found the controls a little frustrating, such as items sticking to the mouse when i clicked on them and had troubles letting go to pick up different items. This made them stack instead of holding one thing at a time, but unsure if thats intentional :)
I really liked the idea of mixing different items to create orders (especially drinks in the bucket for the large animals)!
