Beans: The Coffee Shop Simulator

Quirky and fun, this game is just the right amount of leisurely play to entertain for a bit.

I got this game from a Humble Bundle pack and on the surface it's right up my alley. It's a simulator game with an interesting enough storyline and pixel art. Unfortunately, the mechanics are boring, the game is incredibly buggy and I've never been able to play for more than 10 minutes because of how buggy it is.

No real challenge

Super fun cozy little game to pass the time. It definitely scratches the itch when I get overwhelmed with other projects and I need a little dopamine pick me up. The jokes and Easter eggs are top notch humor.

Amazing writing. And I like how they mix it up re the winning conditions of each level, to keep the gameplay fresh. I like how at the start of each level it is a bit similar to an idle game where I can do other things while playing the game, since the pace would be slow before you get the Appeal and no. of menu items up to a certain point. There are a few minor bugs such as Exit Game not working for me. And if you stop experimenting on a recipe halfway, say, to check the recipe you purchased, the "ingredients" get messed up and your research fails even though it was correct. I got this game for a song, as part of the Momcore Humble Bundle.

At first I wasn't very impressed, but I decided to keep playing because there must be more to the game. And there was. Considering the price, it's not a bad little game.

Silly little game that gets increasingly unhinged as it goes on. It definitely feels like this was made at 3am with a lot of coffee, but in a good way. Graphics are very pixel-y, so take a look and see if that's your artstyle. Unfortunately, achievements don't work. (cough, cough, I used SAM after achieving everything myself.)
