Harvest coffee and... your friend's poop in this Cookie-Clicker type game where you try to make the best coffee blend as fast as possible!
You and your civet monkey friend have finally opened your coffee shop with the dream of making the best coffee blend in the world! Manage your shop in this cookie-clicker game and try to get the ultimate blend as fast as possible by upgrading all the components that go into making coffee.
"Kopi luwak, also known as civet coffee, is a coffee that consists of partially digested coffee cherries, which have been eaten and defecated by the Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The cherries are fermented as they pass through a civet's intestines, and after being defecated with other fecal matter, they are collected." -Wikipedia, Kopi luwak
"It has been called one of the most expensive coffees in the world, with retail prices reaching US$100 per kilogram for farmed beans and US$1,300 per kilogram for wild-collected beans" -Wikipedia, Kopi luwak
~Hope you don't mind the smell of poop~
Drop the coffee cherries to you friend and his poop to the machine. Then drop the coffee to the cash Register to profit!

The music is pretty catchy and love the little details in the art.
As far as cookie clicker games go, the 'click and drag' addition is GRUELING. I think I have carpel tunnel now lol!
Favorite part? Probably the graphics! It's always such a joy to see that an upgrade button doesn't just make the machine faster, but actually changes the design of the machine, and the graphics of the beans/poo/coffee. This is exactly the kind of polish that Jam games often lack, and definitely makes your entry stand out from the crowd.
I also really liked that you made it have an ending. I got the perfect blend in 43 hours. How did I do?
For a tiny bit of nitpicky feedback I have two things. One is that sometimes the hitbox of the items felt a bit small, requiring very precise clicking (although it felt nice to pick up two things at once :p). The other is that at one point I thought the coffee beans and the fruit looked very similar and I confused them sometimes. This was when I had the level 2 tree, but still the level 1 civet I believe.
But all of that is a bit nitpicky. This is the first game I reviewed for LD 52 and it was a great start! Thanks a lot for making it :D
Would be neat to see it taken further, great baseline for a fun casual game.
I love the fact that you can pile up stuff to give it all in one go. An highlight of what goes where when a resource is selected would be nice.
Good job!
