Coffee Crisis by Outfrost
Your shift has begun and the air conditioner is broken. Can you serve your customers while staying cool to keep your cool?


How to play
Accept orders from customers, prepare their beverages, serve, and hopefully satisfy their demands. You'll need to manage your cool, so that you don't break down before the end of your day. Some customers will be more picky than others!

Core gameplay is solid and engaging, even if you manage to serve only one customer during the whole day, and you're not really sure why :laughing:
I liked the visual style as well, except for the gray floating customers, who were kinda creepy - just like in real life ;). But I'll take a guess that their grayness and floatiness is a result of a lack of time, which we all know well.
Overall, it's a solid piece of a jam game and nice work!
As Steve said, for anyone running macOS, it should work if you open a terminal in the same folder as LD49.app, and run:
```sh
LD49.app/Contents/MacOS/LD49
```
As god as my witness, I will serve at least one customer when I pick this back up again...

Good luck on your ratings, see you next LD! :D

I guess it's because I don't know which machine should be used to serve which customers, and I didn't notice any feedback to tell me if I've served them correctly.
Visually the game looks really good, although it's incomplete (grey characters with no animation), it looks like it was coming out great.
Good job overall!
**We'll be trying to balance, polish and finish our game this weekend!**
Tune in live on Twitch, and look out for a new, post-LD build on [itch.io](https://outfrost.itch.io/coffee-crisis)!

I love food-service games, and this hits all the right time-management buttons for me. It does need some more love for the user-experience though, like being able to tell which machines are which, and I didn't get a really clear indicator if I passed or failed an order.
Your scene is really lively. All the little bits and bobs, the look of the place, and the art on the walls made it come alive. It felt like an actual coffee shop, and it was easy to overlook the unanimated/textured customers because of it.
I'm looking forward to seeing your post-LD build, I'd definitely play more of this!
I finally had the time to come back and rate everything I played so far!
