You don't get paid enough for this. 🐈☕️

---

Serve drinks and pastries to a lovable cast of cats! Make sure to always have pastries on hand, and be careful not to take too long with the drinks.  Someone new comes through the door every ten seconds. Good luck!

How-To-Play:

To make tea: Drag a cup to your workspace, add a tea base, and then add mixtures and toppings accordingly. Drag the finished order to the customer to complete, or to the trash in the corner to start over!

To make coffee: Drag a mug to the coffee machine, and select your roast. Grab ice to make the drink cold and/or add creamer or caramel as requested by your kitty customer.

To make a pastry: Grab pastry mix from the drawer, drag it to the oven, and voila! Pastries will be available to serve to customers. Remember, it takes longer to bake pastries than the customer is willing to wait, so be sure to have some on hand!

i would work there irl for fre

Fun, would love to see some levels and upgrades added!

I'm not sure if it's just me but after I reset the game by going to the main menu, whenever I press play everything just freezes? Like I can still get cups and pastries just fine, but if I let go of it I can't interact with it anymore, and I can't use the oven or fill cups. The timer stops and customers never arrive as well.

That is a known bug! Thank you so much for pointing it out :'D unfortunately I'm not sure if we'll have a patch for it anytime soon as this is a game jam game, but we have definitely taken note of that!

this game made me rage but i love it

its not running it just a black screen TvT

my arm is aching from fulfilling all these orders T_T this is truly fnb hell even though the customers are so cute :(

LOL thanks for the feedback!! We hope to balance the game more in possible future iterations :)

such cute idea + art style, just kind of impossible to play without giving a tutorial or any instructions :(

Hi! I’m so sorry you found the game confusing — did you read the instructions in the description? I’d be happy to answer any questions.

Great game ! IS it possible to actually win ? I fail every time because it takes too much time to cook ^^' Other than that I really enjoyed it :)

(edit : now that I understand how everything works it's way easier, like winning 50% of the time)

Glad you're enjoying it! And yes, you will win after surviving for 10 minutes. It gets harder as more recipes are added as the game progresses. :)

Great ! Thank you for answering :) Also, I'm not sure how to make the drink with ice cubes ? I see the ice cube thing but I'm not sure how to complete the drink ( but they only appeared once so far so I might just need to try again ^^')

Edit : I found how, the cup just looks empty but filled with the right things it works

And also I think if I retry without refreshing the page I already have several recipes to make ? Like it continues where I left off the time before kind of ?

I experienced that bug as well! If you refresh after you lose a game you should be alright :)

(+1)

Indeed refreshing works fine :)
