Figuring out what each race liked was a fun challenge, I was surprised how much skeletons liked poo berry. The labeling and remembering what was what was another cool and unique idea. Very well done!

Nice game! I manage to pay the debt, but it would have been good to have a list of what each race likes

I like the wide range of ingredients and that you have to discover both what they do and who wants their effects. Reminds me a lot of a rouge-lite mixed a bit with Va-11 Hall-A which works really well! I like that memorization is a key component of the gameplay though I definitely found myself wanting an in-game note-taking feature (nothing fancy, just something like what the Steam overlay provides) since that's what I'm used to but I do get the appeal to grabbing paper and a pen like it's an older console game too. Great work!

This was great! Music was super fitting and kept me sitting here for AWHILE.

I loved the character theme between aliens and seemingly halloween haha.

Once I started to recognize the customers, the loop started to feel pretty nice and very "Papers Please"-esc.

Awesome job!

I loved the simple gameplay loop and clear objective. Learning who liked what was fun and the art was charming! A simple intro would be nice as it took me a second to figure out what to do, but once I did it was smooth sailing for the rest of the play through!

Some notes I had while playing:

• As some others said, it would be nice to have some pointers on who likes what, whether it be a dialogue like "I could really use something sweet today" or something you can more easily puzzle out by looking at the person (enter a small preview of what the person has on them perhaps, i.e. show a candy wrapper for someone who like sweet or a rotten apple for someone who likes smelly etc.).
• Also, having a simple tooltip on the ingredients to show possible effects would be nice too, as right now it feels hard to remember, even when writing down, since the effects changed sometimes it seemed.
• One thing I was confused about was why I had 7l blood if I could only use 6l? Maybe I missed a mechanic, but when I played through it seemed like the only thing I could spend blood on was adding a drink to the burner, and with only 6 burners I couldn't spend all 7 blood. Maybe adding more uses for blood would be fun (if I didn't just miss them lol)
• And final note would be that it felt a little bad to not be able to adapt to the customer. Once I figured out what they liked, if they came in and I didn't have that made, it felt bad to serve them something I knew they wouldn't like. Perhaps adding some way to spend blood to 'recall' a drink to serve them, or be able to mix a new drink on an open burner just for them, or maybe even showing us who will come in the mixing stage so you can prepare drinks for those specific people (at least the ones you've figured out).

All in all, you did a great job with this MVP! The gameplay loop is tight, there are no major bugs, and it's a solid proof of concept. Good job and good luck if you continue to develop this! I'd love to help playtest or anything in the future if you do :)

P.S. it felt good when I hit my debt goal!

A well done game! Great atmosphere, had fun playing.

Using the same resource for serving customers and getting new ingredients is kind of interesting. Not sure if I didn’t play far enough, but money didn’t seem to play a factor outside of gating events, so would’ve loved to use some of that to get more ingredients.

Knowing what customer wanted didn’t really benefit the player that much, as the tendency is then to always keep that type in stock, hindering progress in finding what others want, creating a bit of a rift between progress and accomplishment.

Played to the start of day 10.

Very nice brewing game. It's great how much (and crazy) ingredients are in the game you can combine. Also a good game loop by having the 7 days goal.

Past jam I would like to get more feedback from the customers. Maybe a little speech bubble with a hint like "Irg I hate sour" or "I wished it was more smelly", So that you not just have to do by trial and error.

beautiful game. I found that it had a lot more depth than what I saw on the surface of the screenshots. So many different customers, different things to make, trying to memorize who likes what... it truly was a nice atmosphere of running your own place :) fantastic job

and special shoutout to the music, the transition between the tracks was so seamless, and all of them were fantastic. I loved listening to all of them, and they really helped solidify the ambience.

my one piece of feedback would be that a couple of the visual elements could use a little more polish, like the "menu all for 2c" for example. But overall it looked great, and was definitely fun to play
