If you see this message that mean I failed to make a ending cut scene before the ddl in the game so just consider collecting all 7 kinds of monsters as an ending ( -灬- ) 

edited: 10 kinds available now in postjam version plz refer to the link part👈(゚ヮ゚👈)

We had hoped to complete more work, but unfortunately there wasn't enough time – there are still many areas that could be optimized!In fact, we still have many little monsters who want to join the game

@andy-wang We actually drew empty coffee cups, dirty coffee cups, and a sink - I originally intended for the player to do the cleaning, but unfortunately, two people couldn't do much.
Thank you for your support! Perhaps we will introduce more food and new ways to play in the future!![86c88873646d2a85e19e082d12e9d6e9.png](///raw/5f2/16/z/6e79e.png)

Such a cozy game! I enjoy brewing and let the creatures do their job (which is nice if we can do it in real world too haha). I think the exploration element brings additional dimension without making it too complicated, good job.
Overall, I like how the concept combine real and fantasy world. It'd be interesting to develop it more (worldbuilding, art direction wise). It have a nice potential, keep up the great work!

The completeness really amazed me! But why I always fail the exploration?

Really nice and cozy game. Very cute creature designs and overall soft pastel style of the game. Wish there was maybe more stuff to prepare for customers, but the visuals already win me over for this game, nice job!

@synapse316 In fact - it's just a matter of luck! Wish you no more failures in the following gameplay. 030

@andy-wang yeah at a very early stage when there were just some basic art I wanna show the drinking progress therefore animate this 💦

@synapse316 We originally intended to offer some rewards beyond just eggs, and also wanted to change the form of exploration to involve sending out monsters, with the attributes of the monsters determining the probability of obtaining rewards during the exploration. But time ran out fast so I simply set a fixed 70% possibility of getting one of the potential eggs in a explorable area and I also found that quite frustrating to keep failing. I'd like to make some adjustment in some following post-jam versions.

Super cosy mood, appreciated the efforts on the coffees being consumed visually and the exploratory/hatching phase was interesting!

Cozy game, I liked the art congratulations on finishing the game. The game got stuck after the 3 day in the web version, it just got freeze without any error :confused:.

Small suggestions: I think that maybe not waiting for the orders and serve orders in parallel will make the game more interactive. I would add some interactivity to the preparation of the coffee as well. Maybe drag the coffee to the cup from the machine, or something like that.

@daniboygg Thank you for your suggestion!!! This is very helpful to us! We are trying to add more new features...
And! I'm sorry for your experience! We will try to fix it as soon as possible!

Wow! >///< The art is absolutely gorgeous! I’m so happy to see your game again on Ludum Dare!
I managed to collect three dogs >///< (though I could only satisfy the pink-haired customer, they’re all super cute!)

(P.S. I originally wanted to draw the dogs too, but I realized I can’t draw anything other than cute characters >///< so in the end, I only drew the pink-haired customer.)

@thyoi Maybe later we will create some designs related to monsters of different colors! We’ll post them in the comments section then!!

@thyoi Awwww thanks for the art! I'm sucked at making the numerical design so the LD entry version might sometimes be filled up with repeated monsters.(•ω•`💦)
So nice to play your game on LD again too and I love it so much! .
