Everyone knows how hard it is to make a great Ludum Dare game. Especially when something is missing...something very important...like coffee. Also everyone knows how painful coffee can be when you drink too much of it.

Screen.jpg

In this game your goal is to give your team the perfect amount of coffee for them to finish the production of the game before the Ludum Dare ends ! Too much coffee and your team will screw your game, not enough coffee and your team will fall aspleep ! :weary:

I really like the idea! Good job guys. Just seeing their little faces get stained by all the coffee made me crack up :smile:

Just how I like my coffee! Looks good, and the animations for the people working is spot on.
Great job!
Lewis Quaife5 Dec 2017, 01:42
☕️ I love this, neat idea simple controls. I Would suggest moving the game progress to somewhere more viable as kind of missed it up so high
holgk5 Dec 2017, 03:37
Lol! Nice that was hilarious! I want to have so many helpers. Even if my job would be to make coffee for all. :wink: :rofl: :coffee:

Haha, j'ai bien rigolé. On a fait pareil mais c'était de la bière au lieu du café :p
J'ai quelques soucis avec les contrôles mais je pense que c'est dû a mon dual screen (ca bloque sur les côtés de l'écran). J'ai quand même pu finir mon jeu à 100% !
Maxime Hanot5 Dec 2017, 16:17
Oui le dual screen pose problème on y a pas réflechit :p

Fun. Some more levels would have been awesome as well as a little tutorial at the beginning :)
ultimategrinderauthor5 Dec 2017, 17:25
@dom Thank's ! :) I agree it's a little bit brutal at the beginning since there is no tutorial xD we didn't have the time to do it

Great Game, very nice art and visuals the gameplay simple and addictive, and it really goes with the theme. When using WebGL for some reason the camera movement and aim is really buggy. Other then that wonderful job!
flip1205 Dec 2017, 17:38
Funny game 👍
DavidVallee425 Dec 2017, 17:40
Vraiment fun c'est vrai qu'on a consommer beaucoup de café ^^.
Les graphismes sont super, Good work!

Wow! this is amazing, congratulations!

Hilarious and well-made game! Had quite the fun playing it.

I don't really get how it fits with the theme, it's more of a balance thing, I'd say.

Well done nevertheless!
Lag5 Dec 2017, 17:53
This was a pretty funny game, and I love Black Betty, good choice of music!
VikTris5 Dec 2017, 18:08
I had a blast all though I could not turn the mug enough to hit the most outer guys with the coffee spray
Kayouh5 Dec 2017, 18:23
Awesome concept, great gameplay only one thing, I got myself stuck by looking at the ceiling. The mouse isn't "stuck" in the window so you can't look down enough to correct it. Other than that, 10/10

No a coffee-drinker myself, but fun and simple execution of the concept.

Really good use of humour. Great job. :)

Seems like the victory sound effect loops if you leave it on that screen.

Punchy music, satisfying coffee noise ! I also really like the animated juicy main menu :) ! Great game jam entry !

Very cool game, little tip, the mouse isn't locked so with multiple monitors it can leave the game and click something else. Assuming that was made in unity use Cursor.lockState

That was hilarious! Well done!

gwolf866 Dec 2017, 14:43
Great idea and sums up the jam perfectly (so I've been told - This was my first and I did the compo).
The art style was really cool and the game played well. Great work.
Daniel Jackson6 Dec 2017, 14:52
Love it. looks good, sounds good, plays good, and it's funny.
Could be improved with difficulty levels, the default is a little too easy, you can leave everyone asleep for a little while and then still win.
But I really like it. Well done!

I think I am sick. I actually tried to kill them with coffee after I saw them get mad by having too much coffee!

I am glad that didn't happen. :joy:
btw Well done! I had a good time being a manager and all I need to do is watching those guys working :smiling_imp:

Very funny game. I really love all of the animations and how clear it is when people are slowing down and need coffee. Love the idea!
CoderK6 Dec 2017, 15:45
Fun game! The animations are nice and the concept is really fun. My only issue with the game is that it is hard to see where the coffee is landing when you shoot it to the back.

Miguel Montero6 Dec 2017, 16:21
Really good animations and graphics. In general: Interesting. Also, realistic af.
Devastus
Devastus6 Dec 2017, 20:22
Nice graphics, straightforward gameplay. I can really relate to this one, with Ludum Dare and coffee dosage the struggle is real.

It's kinda hard to see where the coffee is landing, especially since it doesn't aim to the center of your screen. Other than that, it's a great entry!

Poorwill6 Dec 2017, 20:27
I was disappointed that I couldn't hit some of the guys with the coffee, but all and all it was an enjoyable fun little experience.

This is a fun little idea. Graphics and game play wise really nicely executed. It is pretty hard to aim, would be nice to have a wider splash area. It would be really cool if there were different coffee shooters, like a latte bazzoka, mocha grenades, etc. The UI needs some more work. Overall a fun game that is following the theme.

Great game and really funny animations. I assume when they were banging their head on the table they were extra productive :P.
Pilou6 Dec 2017, 22:38
Super sympa concept original et dynamique et surtout totalement véridique. Super clean, des anims aux contrôles en par la musique, vraiment super.

YEEEEAH this was great. Super fun take on the theme, and the gameplay is very engaging and interesting for what first seemed like a 'humor game'. This was a real joy to find!
Linus6 Dec 2017, 22:48
One of the funniest games I have played in Ludum Dare history haha. Coffee is great :D

Graphics and the overall feel of the game as really great, the controls were okay but somewhat difficult but that's alright since otherwise it would have almost been too easy.

Great job and thanks for this awesome game :p
LHouyez7 Dec 2017, 01:41
Trés cool , la musique est ultra bien , le concept est très drôle et surtout Il y a un son de TF2 , GG !!

I can't believe I played this game and forgot to rate it :D It was an amazing experience. The music combined with graphics and animation was hilarious, it made me feel involved and I had lots of fun with it :D

Great job :D

@lhouyez Yeap! Si tu look les écrans, tu peux voir des screenshots de notre prod. TF2 4ever. :D

Bravo pour ce super jeu ! C'est beau, c'est fun a jouer, la musique est entraînante, que demander de plus ? :)
FerNandXor7 Dec 2017, 22:10
As others pointed I don't quite see the ludum theme here, and music is... "a bit" ripped, but I enjoyed it a lot, very funny concept, and graphics are pretty cool! Congrats!

Hilarious game, superb graphics, it was quite hard to reach employees on the bottom extremities on my version but it was an excellent moment with a great choice of music!
One of my favorite games so far :thumbsup:
Maxime Hanot8 Dec 2017, 07:19
@fernandxor
The more coffee you give, the more excited they are. And when they're excited, you lose progress.
Thanks for your feedback

I'm impressed with the unique idea! First of all, I loved the music. It fit the humorous mood of the game. Second of all, I think the graphics of the humans made the game much more hilarious. It was a pretty funny game! However, the gameplay is too easy. The game could be more fun if it was a little bit harder. Overall, good job with the game!
Starlin10 Dec 2017, 21:54
I think this is a great game, easy to play and 3D is so smooth with artists characters design. Well done!
Almost passed! I like coffee btw.
kettu11 Dec 2017, 14:47
Definitely quite funny! I finished the game on the first try, which made me think that maybe there should be a time based scoring system, where finishing faster would yield higher scores? The music choice was awesome, the graphics are nice, the animations are smooth. Sometimes it was pretty hard to hit the coders with coffee, but that wasn't a big problem. Once when I finished the game, I managed to get myself into a loop, where the finishing sound looped over and over, my mouse was hijacked and I couldn't choose either replay or quit (HTML5 build), so maybe there's a bug there. Anyway, great job!
rEaX12 Dec 2017, 03:52
Extremely hilarious game, good job! Love it. Even though I couldn't finish the game!

J'ai cru comprendre que vous êtes français, bien joué j'ai été très agréablement surpris par la musique qui colle parfaitement bien ! Un peu dur pour viser les devs' avec le café mais j'ai réussis !

Crunshtime the game with a coffethrower :D Super funny entry. The game mechanics are simple but effective. I'm not sure about the music though, seems to be protected and i would change it. Otherwise solid (fluid :p) entry!

Love it! At first I tried with precision to aim into their cups before I realised I was supposed to be pouring on *them* as I got my first set of hearts! 🤓

Was wondering whether the music was made specifically for the game which would've been amazing, but since you opted out of the audio category, I'm guessing not. Still very funny, and the animation of the characters tapping away on the keyboard goes perfectly with it.

My one issue would be that I'm not sure how it ties into the theme, but I really enjoyed it.

This game is hilarious! The theme, the graphics, the music, the effects. I really loved it!
GistNoesis20 Dec 2017, 18:01
I won. Nice animations. Ok audio. Hitboxes should be reworked to include head. A little repetitive. Overall a nice little game. Well done.
