This game is cute, but I wish it were longer :( 5 stars for the cuteness-catsiness anyway
Great music, mate
Is there a way I can license this game to host it on my app for people to play?
Hi! I know it might seem unrelated, but I do have a similar game on my profile named Cozy Cafe, if you might be interested in that I'd be happy to discuss further :)
Cute and Fun game. I will have to download this at some point to play this on physical hardware using Retro Pie.
Tops
cool little game
Very popular mistake - it's hard to undestand how to play your game :/ No info about what press or where to click. I could't even start anything
You should just be able to click on the big "run game" button, then controls are listed underneath. Was it not working?
I played on pc. I couldn’t figure out what to press when calendar is shown. Tried on phone it’s nice game !
nice game
cute but the key commands were kind of sticky causing frustration
super cute and fun!
it was a nice quick game
i loved it, eu amei o jogo
Cute!!
Muito bom, espero ver a versão final do jogo! Parabens pela iniciativa!
Que increible tu juego!! :)
good art!
I love it!!
This is so fun!
Cool game! Got B rank
me too lol
It's so cute, tho I think that it would be very stressful for a bird to barkeep in a room full of cats
Hi! I'm wanting to take games made for GBJam and make them for Gameboy! Was this made using gb studio? If so, Would I be able to get the assets and build for this? If possible, the GB studio project too? This would be for my own personal use :)
this is a fun idea for a game and the graphics are really good. Especially the title acreen
Super cute. Music is awesome (as always from Scott) and the graphics are really lovely. Well done on the polish of the game flow and animation states. Its very fluid and the feedback feels nice to play.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great fun game. The music is very good.
Such a cute fun game! Love the music too!
Very good game! Rank B here.
Bird Girl Tapper in a cat bar.
Known bugs/glitches:
I confirm I had the same issues. If a cat leav with a drink, the other one mentioned what drink he/she wants once the other left.
Apart from that, everything was so fun, well designed! Awesome work 👍
