Definitely a really chill game. I enjoyed the vibe, and as a barista, enjoyed the drinks you had haha. ANYWAYS. I played up until buying the windows, but yeah everything meshed well. I think it definitely gave the impression of a dream cafe, a kind of recipe like game where you make drinks, etc. If this game had some sort of tutorial it would be amazing, I think at the start I was a bit confused why they only asked for water, I thought the game would automatically progress, afterwards getting water for the 20th time, I think I realized that you would have to buy the machines to progress and get more money. This, and dragging the menu, I thought it was a bit weird at first until I got used it the 4th or 5th time around, and it felt right to me as well! On another note, it was also a bit frustrating when I had an order last second, with the drink, and suddenly when i dragged it too fast, it would hit something and get refreshed. The ice is not that obvious as well, I'm pretty sure some of my drinks I swear that I had ice in, did not, maybe a more obvious textures/mesh/cube for ice? All in all, I really enjoyed the game, definitely one of the longer games I played because of that too.

Very cool game, I like those type of games, so it was pretty easy to like it.

I'm waiting for the VR version.

Hello,

This game overall was really pretty and I liked the music.

There are a lot of things I would change though. 1. the menu + holding scroll wheel was a bit much for the menu/ I think it could have been easier to use. I did not understand that I had to use the menu to see how to complete certain recipes until like 5 minutes into the game. Also Money on the main screen would be nice because having to go back in the menu to see the money was frustrating.

I lived the mood and vibe of this game, and the humor with the combo of drinks and recipes was a nice touch.

good work all around but just some user experience things I think that would greatly benefit the game :D

I must confess I learned a few recipes here. Your game made me a better person!

PS: Also, I love how you can shake the glass even without any liquids in it for the recipes. Might try that at home the next time.
