I liked the concept and I think the presentation was excellent! It was easy for me to get into and I think the graphics look great.
Unfortunately I found it a bit easy once I had a perfect brew settled, I had more money than I knew what to do with and didn't even bother buying ingredients after a point. I think some kind of monetary goal would have helped.
I also thought that maybe the customers would have different preferences and that I would have to do more potion changing on the fly (e.g. maybe ghosts like candy corn and not spiders but skeletons like spiders and not candy corn) but that didn't seem to be the case, everybody loved my recipe universally so I kind of just sat there and clicked on the cat as he became available.
Overall though I think it's a great entry!
This was an adorable game. I loved the idea of a coffee shop that opened up only after dark for the ghosts and ghouls. The art was great, the detail of the drink sliding down into the transparent ghost body was so good! The cat was cute too.
Some issues I noticed were that the UI is difficult to read. I see numbers, white markers, and other symbols that I know mean something but it's hard to figure out what. The sliders on the shopping phase adjusting to fit how many more of each item you can buy threw me off, I'd prefer to the slider to just represent the amount and be told I don't have enough money to buy that amount if it's too much. Lastly, it didn't seem like I ever lost money after buying ingredients so the strategy and challenge was gone after the first few nights.
Overall this has been one of my favorites from the jam so far. Great work!
Very fun and innovative game! It was a bit overwhelming at first with all the sliders and things you can adjust while trying not to let a sale pass you by, but I was able to figure out the game loop by day 3, and became quite addicted! With more polish (the shop visuals were a little hard to understand) this could be a solid game. Very nice job!
Great game! Nice job.
I like the artstyle and the concept,It took me a while to figure out what each customer liked. nice game

400k gold! CAAANDY COOORN :D Great game, seems very well polished and was full of satisfying elements and juice; I loved seeing and hearing the money roll in and seeing what the cat brought in.
It's simple, but I really enjoyed playing through this one! I was a little lost at first, but the game clicked a lot more as it went on. Felt a bit like an incremental in a way. I got about 101 cups sold and 19,000+ on my first run, so the revenue might have been a little too high there lol
Really polished experience, the tutorial at the start was really handy. On top of that the gameplay loop was really fun and the graphics were well done. Such a well polished entry!
Very well executed! Nice, clean graphics
Damn this is really polished, really good UI and there's so much detail everywhere. Very impressive.
I really liked the vibe, music, and art of this game. Overall, I found it pretty fun; I like the concept of figuring out who likes what and adjusting your recipe or reviewing the forecast and trying to target the specific leading group. I think my one complaint is I wish I could see the opinions of those deciding to not buy anything so I can better understand why they are passing me up (price? not interested in ingredients? etc.).
Had a fantastic time playing this one on stream. You did such a great job with the setting and vibe, and I absolutely loved the animations of all the creatures drinking. Awesome job!
