Good music and decent gameplay. As others have said I had a cup get caught between scenes that I couldn't grab and the tea bags were a bit jank, but otherwise it was a fun game loop. It took me a minute to find the cups the first time around, but that might be user error lol. Overall Good Job!

cup

Really liked the music and the art! Just for me I would have liked a settings menu and moving the cups around was a bit tricky! But overall pretty cool concept!

Developer

thanks for the feedback :)

The barista gameplay itself is generally nice and the vibe is cozy, though moving the cup feels kinda clunky and it sometimes gets stuck between scenes (like if I accidentally placed in the middle of where two scenes connect I can鈥檛 even reach it again) and the tea bags sometimes glitch out. The idea of comparing customer鈥檚 features before and after to determine if they鈥檙e a demon is neat though sometimes it can be hard to distinguish the features. But in general this is pretty nice.

I had a nice time playing this game! The art was nice and cute. The take on the limitation was interesting as well, though it took me a couple of tries to understand it.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that I could move cups between scenes. It's a little buggy, I had to redo a drink cause it got lost inbetween 2 scenes and I couldn't grab it back. The tea bags also just kinda flew around and got stuck? The game could definitely benefit from clearer instructions.

Overall it was enjoyable and has lots of charm to it! I had fun :)

Thanks for the feedback. I ha e lots of comments about the cup movement. Will try fix it when the jam is over

I enjoyed it a lot and i'm coming away with two very prevalent thoughts  the poor pumpkin won't stop ordering a pumpkin spice latte and I would totally drink a sugar rush latte.

The music was a good gamey loop and the art style was cool, I kept accidentally giving demons their drinks at the start but eventually got the idea after reading comments and trying the game out again. Really cool entry and the songs still going around in my head after coming to rate you game lol

Developer

XD. Thanks a lot

Loved the music! The art style was amazing too, really well drawn with some nice shading and lots of fun little details to look at. 

I thought the mechanics for preparing the drinks were really cool and engaging. I especially liked how the tea bags could stay in the cup as you moved between stations, and adding the different toppings was fun too. It made the whole drink-making process feel a bit more hands-on.

Lovely take on the limitation as well! Having to remember the customers' appearances while going back and forth to prepare their drinks really put my memory and attention to detail to the test. Apparently, I'm pretty terrible at both XD. Really fun concept with a lot of charm!

I enjoyed this game a lot! The music was very good and the interpretation of the limitation was cool. Having to drop things between tables to swap kind of felt janky and I feel that a hover system like in FNAF to check cameras could be smoother while holding the cup. Very fun mechanics and game good work!

Very fun to play. Played through the whole game and enjoyed it. The cups glitching a bit between the tables, but overall funny little game.

Submitted

Controls are a bit wonky, but overall a really fun concept and I like the artstyle :)

Nice game idea. I did have issues with telling demons apart, although after reading the comments it was quite clever. Just maybe it would be good to showcase it in tutorial, or maybe explain it better. Also as mentioned already, tea bags r glitching and although movements aren't that bad, it would be nice to be able to move with cup already selected, so you don't have to always put down. The art style is quite unique and nice. Game music as well. Although kinda loud, I had to turn it down a little. The text in the beginning, does have some mistakes in it, and is bigger then the speech bubble in one instance, although those are just details. Nice game :D

Yeah thanks for the feeback. I wasnt able to check those things because i ran out of time. I will change it after the jam is over. Thanks :)

Submitted

I liked the idea, but navigating was kind of hard. Also, I wasn't able to understand how to distinguish demons, so I checked the comments. The gameplay really changed after knowing that. You might need a better way of telling players how they can tell the demons apart. Other than that overall great game!

Developer

Good to know. Thanks for the feedback

Submitted

Cool idea and great art style for a cooking game! One way I can see this being fleshed out further is to add a new ingredient/station for each day/level so that there is greater sense of progression for the player. Music was great but just be careful with your bass frequencies as I had to turn my overall volume down.

Developer(+1)

Great idea. Thanks for the feedback.

The game is cool and the art and music is good.

I just didn't get right the demon thing and got tricked twice without knowing why.

Developer(+1)

That's my bad probably should have made some more obvious. Basically if the person is a demon, when you go down to make their drink one of their features would change and that s how you know there are a demon or not.

great game . the limitation is unique.

Cute art, it reminds me a bit of older flash games like Neopets! The soundtrack's bounciness is quite fun too and really sells the cafe vibe. The multiple menus is rather cumbersome and makes it much more difficult than I expected to make a drink.  The game over CG is quite nice so it doesn't feel too bad to lose either.

Submitted

Clever use of the limitation, overall fun game. I think a better way to move around cups and stuff would benefit the game feel a lot.

I poisoned the tutorial guy, and they weren't happy.

Developer

XD, Thanks for the feedback. Will try yours now

Submitted

This game is amazing. The writing alone makes it worth playing, but I love the twist with needing to add poison to demon customer鈥檚 drinks!

Developer

I was barely able to submit the game in the jam so there will be a few bugs, but I haven't ran into any game breaking bugs (if you do please tell me). Hope you enjoy

Fun concept. Tough to move the drink around and the teabags glitched out a little for me. But nice work!
