I would not recommend this game; it is NOT in early access and STILL has game breaking bugs. I enjoyed this game at first, but then it started to get pretty repetitive. I continued to play because the story was ok, but then there was a game breaking bug that halted my progress. In level with the drones that spy on you, I saved, quit the game, and the next time the game started, the spy bar kept filling up without …

Contains bugs which makes it unplayable. I could've done without the story as I didn't find it funny, the same goes for the 'crazy' coffe recepies. I usually like pixel art but this game is just plain ugly. Gameplay is lacking in so many ways. There's no real sense of progression, the first area you start in is for example bigger than the 4th, albeit more fancy. But the real issue is it's boring as hell, all you do …

8/10. Fun game. It's a fun passtime game. The story is cute and kind of funny. However, it's missing 2 stars because I did not like the fact that you can't move around the furniture and decors once you've placed it down. Also the last level, the sound is buggy. Even though I've lowered it to almost nothing, whenever I clicked on the buttons, there's a loud pinging noise.

I was really enjoying the game with no issues, until I reached the mall level. The bugs have prevented me from progressing at all (either the robots stop showing up but the bar continues to go up, or they do show up and when I click them the bar goes up anyway), and every time I restart it I keep having the same issues. I kept trying because I love the concept of the game, but after I lost track of how many times I …

TLDR: Funny little coffee shop sim game with it's own little quirky humor. Fun to sink a few hours into, but doesn't have any long term longevity. Positive: + Charm, has a unique charm to it + Decently fun sim game Negative: - Repetitive - Bugs -- I ran into a bug in the first 5 minutes of playing. The blender icon wasn't appearing so I couldn't discover recipes - Limited decorating - Limited game options - Cost, …

neutral · AI labelView post →I liked the game, a little tedious though. However, on the second level, a mission requirement is to "protest president dump." I'm not a really political guy, but I don't like snarky political content in my games, and if it had been advertised as a political game, or game with political messages, I wouldn't have bought it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Used to be a fun game, but it has been update bugged to not work for over 6 months, and the game developers should be ashamed of themselves for taking our money and then leaving us with a broken version of the game. Just lazy imo, and I would not recommend anyone buy a game that doesn't work!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a cute and very simple game. I backed it on kickstarter last year and have been anxiously awaiting its arrival. I got my key last week i believe and started playing tonight shortly before midnight. The game took about 4 hours to beat but had a cute story and was pretty fun tho extremely simple. Id give it 7/10 stars. Taking one off because there really isnt much strategy to it if any.. just start plopping down appliances and decorations, and buy all the recipes off the old guy. By the time…

neutral · AI labelView post →So my earlier review of this title was none too kind. After reading a comment that mentioned some updates that were released since I last played, I decided to give it another shot (I'll leave my original review intact so that the comments make sense). Were there improvements? Yes. Is it still an amateurishly buggy piece of trash? That's a matter of opinion. Guess what mine is. Bugs are a part of gaming. We all know that. Game breaking bugs that persist years after a game's release, that the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a decent game if you have some time to just throw away, but it mostly just ends there. The game doesn't warrant the price point it is currently at, maybe it's worth it when heavily discounted. This has mostly to do with the repetitive gameplay and the multiple bugs it has. And especially for the achievement hunters it is a big hit that the achievements are completely unobtainable, as they got bugged in a previous patch. As far as I know the game isn't going to get any patches to fix…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I unfortunately need to agree with others here. This game is way too glitchy to be out of early access. First level, I can't make one of the recipes because the syrup dispenser has disappeared from my list of appliances. No big deal, I'll manage without. Third level, I can't get any further recipes because some of the items have gotten stuck in the mixing-section of the window where you put the things you want to use together. Doesn't help to click the reset button, doesn't help to drag…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is entertaining when you are playing for the first time, but the problem is, is actually pretty easy and pretty short. Passed it in couple hours. Should mention theres some bugs. Some items when researching, wont appear and transfer. Sometimes you get the research right and says is wrong. If you place 2 items pretty close or over, they will get stuck together. Real lot of dialog that isnt really important and cant really skip, i think is there to waste time and make the game look larger. I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I erred on the side of recommendation, even though I'm not fully confident it's worth the full price for everyone in the state it is now. But I'll be likely replaying it many times, so this is subject to change. Yes, there are bugs. Do check the community page, where developers has shared some advice- and no, the warp code does not mess with the achievements. Don't think of it as the cheat, think of it as a fix. Ignore the obnoxious "cheater" in the menu involved. (If you're going to call…

neutral · AI labelView post →I decided to give the game another shot. The bugs I previously reported have been fixed. However, the achievements do not work, which is disappointing. There's not a lot of challenge to the game, and really just clicking and being patient is all you need to win. It's cute but it's just ok. I recommend if you can get it on sale, but it has a few problems still.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really great game with a pretty entertaining story! Gameplay's pretty simple, but styling and designing your own coffee house stays really entertaining throughout the game. Definitely worth its reasonable price.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cute and funny retro-style business sim with a fun gameplay loop. The first couple hours were great fun. But it is unstable, crashes, and does not have a working save system . Specific levels are playable from the menu, so I could technically play the levels, as long as I finished each in one sitting and tracked my own progress. The game will not shut down properly when it is Quit from the main menu. Saved games appear functional, and show an updated in-game day and time when…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the concept of this game! But my problem is how buggy it is... I could't even finish the tutorial level because the button to host an event was gone :c The items in the menu researcher also magically disappeared and did not return even when restarting the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A cute little game and was worth it on sale. The memes and easter eggs are fantastic especially for an old millennial like myself! My only complaints are that it is too short, linear, and easy. Once you unlock enough recipes you make enough money, it's easy to break the game and there isn't enough challenge anymore. The real challenge I had was trying to get all the achievements - "Garbage Day" seems impossible due to the AI of the game. I'd love to see more from this studio and this was a…

Great work, looking forward to updates.

It is a sartire game with over the top Twitter hipster humor and repetetive gameplay and a mediocre story. Game Style / Setting / Soundtrack It's a pixel game. But for my taste a bit dull. It reminds me a bit of the early pokemon games so if you like that style, maybe it is for you.

First time I played, it was addicting. I was having a lot of fun however at level 3 (the boardwalk level), when I select "complete level" the games pauses and wont continue on the story.

It has a story and even cut scenes and shows that the developers put a lot of time and love into the game. It's humor is hit or miss most of the time, but it's a $5 game so it's surpasses any expectations I would have in that department. It suffers from stagnant moments and obtuse methods that seem to be there make the game last longer. It does have a nice research tree…
