Cafe Pollen: Miniature Coffee Management

Introduction

Created for the Cozy Spring Jam 2023 with Godot - "you are the world". Yes, you! And you are allergic to pollen, aren't you? Well, at least I am - so we present to you: Café Pollen! All assets were created by us (including sound and art) during the jam, only the music was created some years prior (unfortunately, we were out of time and could not create something new). If you like the game, consider downloading it - the standalone version also includes some more visual effects.

Controls

• Move with WASD
• Make food with you arrow keys (when you are at a machine)
• Deliver food with space (when you are at a table)
• Buy stuff/upgrades by opening the build menu with b, clicking on the "ghost" of something and pressing Buy in the lower right corner
• Throw items in the trash with space (when you stand next to the trash)
• Pause the game with escape

Game Info

Spring is a wonderful season, especially for pollen who love flying around and making oneself at home in human noses. To delay them from crawling deeper in and provoking a big sneeze, they can be held back with a little snack. After they sit down at a prepared table, Antillergy, the service robot can bring them whatever they wish for. Help him to stop the pollen. Use W-A-S-D to move him around and take the pollen´s orders while standing beside their table. But keep in mind, you must memorize their orders all by yourself! You can prepare food and drinks at the appropriate stations, but you must press the displayed arrow keys in the right order to cook it correctly. If you have the right items in your inventory (top bar), just walk to your guests and serve it with SPACE. If you prepared a dish wrong, you can walk to the bin in your kitchen and throwing it in with SPACE. After saving some Snotcoins (SC), you can upgrade (by pressing B) your stations, buy more tables or plants for enjoyment. But beware, pollen will spread the word of your good restaurant and therefor guests will come faster and faster.
