Announcing drone delivery from Impatience Coffee Roasters™! Place an order from anywhere in town and before you know it a cup of scalding hot coffee will fly in perched precariously atop one of our delivery drones. If your order takes more than twenty seconds to arrive, it's on us!

Impatience Coffee Roasters: Time flies, and so does our coffee!

*Now hiring drone pilots. Must be able to multitask, thrive in a high-stress environment, and take the blame when things go wrong.*

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get something other than plain black coffee?

*Absolutely not.* Our coffee is *lovingly hand roasted* and then brewed by *highly trained baristas* who bring *years of experience* and pour their *hearts* and *souls* into brewing a liquid that tastes like *heaven on earth* with *subtle notes of apricot and dried blueberry*. Adding milk would be *unthinkable*, to say nothing of syrup.

My order took more than twenty seconds to get here

That's not a question.

Is it safe to have drones flying around with so many cups of coffee stacked on top of them?

Please direct all safety questions to our drone pilot.

This game is really fun, great job! I was a little confused at first, but once I figured out what was going on it was pretty fun! One thing is I never really got a chance to read the text on the bottom because I was so focused on not messing up, so I kind of missed that part of the game, but otherwise great job!

Genuinely a fun time! It definitely got hard pretty fast, but that's fine for a short jam game :) Gave me mini metro vibes.

Good grief this is hard.

Fun minigame. Also I liked feature with comments below

Very clever and fun multitasking game, congrats! Work well with the theme!

Love the humour and the theme. Not sure I could progress past 15-20 cups of coffee, but that initial hard ramp of diffculty mixed with the humour was super on point!

Simple, challenging, brilliant! Thank you for the good time that I spent when planning the path for my imaginary barista! Good luck!

It's the travelling salesman problem - given that AI can't really do this well, this is a really compelling idea. Would have loved more graphics especially for collecting more coffee and delivering events, different colors based on distance / priority or something, but it's a really solid concept. Nice one!

55 cups - get wrecked

Managed to deliver 205 cups. Really fun! Wouldve loved to see some proper graphics!

First got 5 or so, then 205!
I love the simple idea and the simplistic graphics. But that doesn't take away from the experience. It induces stress and you really test your multitasking.

Nice Game!

Really nice game, the comments are a nice touch that make the game feel more polished.
The game become challenging quickly but it is still fun.

Good job :thumbsup:

Graphics are really cool I like how simple they look - it's nice and clean everything's really easy to understand and process. The way the coffee cups tip while the drones fly around is great.

I had a ton of fun but my micro game's incredibly weak so I was kind of stressed the entire time but in a good way. Couples great with the graphics - it's so easy to see what's going on but there were so many deliveries to process. All comes together in a great way.

Appreciated the law in the post and especially appreciated the messages during the game.

Not really sure what pushed end-game - I'm guessing my rating dropping too low. Would have liked more indication about that. Also would have loved some music / sound.

Great concept! Really addicting game, I loved playing it!! :O

Nice take on the theme and very minimalistic approach. I actually really enjoys such thing, where I first randomly click on everything as fast as possible. But then take some time to think everything thru and actually see the result. Still don't feel that 45 delivered cups is much, but feels good :) Good job!

Nice minimalist take on the theme, unfortunately after a few attempts the game broke and every time I tried to order around the blue drone the game would freeze. It was fun though.

Leo Barber Dev11 May 2023, 15:14

I tried it again it worked haha, 33 cups

apiffer12 May 2023, 08:46

Interesting take on the theme and the comments from the clients are really funny. Overall, it's a simple yet fun game, good job!

Amolker12 May 2023, 16:11

Really interesting concept!

The comments at the bottom of the screen are fun, but a bit of a hindrance to the process. The minimalistic design is quite appropriate, the comments enliven the game, but some sounds are missing.

In any case, good result!
