Playing this game....

[RuneSnow]

Not sure what to do, every combo i do, which i have tried for over an hour seems i havent sold a single latte, any hints?

[sjgreys]

For you? Certainly!

Firstly, thank you so much for playing!

Yes, this game is designed to be a hair pulling challenge - however we don't want it to be confusing in the sense that game-play is non-enjoyable (as the classic lemonade stand gave no hints, but it seemed the recipes were a bit more static as opposed to our weather patterns).

The main aspects to keep in mind for making the perfect recipe is checking the weather for the next day. Each forecast (Sunny/Cloudy, Rainy/Stormy, Snowy/Blizzard) will require different amounts of ingredients and temperatures. While you can get a few hints while shopping at the store, I'll be more than happy to break it down a little here!

The main days to keep an eye on are the poor weather days:

Rain/Stormy days will require more milk/spice so your ingredient is a bit sweeter. As we all know, sugar tends to make us happy - so on these gloomy days, make sure to add a little extra sweetness to the coffee.

Snowy/Blizzard days are going to be extra cold. Adding a bit more coffee to the mixture will warm up your customers from the inside, and give them the extra boost to fight off the chilling temperatures.

Both sets of poor weather will also require a bit of a temperature increase, the snow days more-so.

We hope this helps! If you are still struggling, let us know, and we'll see what we can do - without giving up the bacon.

Bonus info! We haven't added our customers Emoticon key in just yet, we will in the next update, but in case you'd like to get your perfect ingredients on, here you go!

The icons are as follows:

Vertical Red Squiggles : This means your coffee is too hot, which can be remedied by lowering the temperature on the pot, or by adding more sugar/spice.

Snow Flake: Too cold! You'll need to up your temperature, or add more coffee (be careful about adjusting temp via ingredients, you will also increase sweetness, caffeine, etc).

White Cream Pile: Too sweet. This is caused by having too much milk, or spice(spice is a blend of spices and sugar - think cinnamon sugar).

Chaotic Black Squiggles: Too bitter. This means there is not enough milk/spices, making your coffee bitter.

Coffee Bean: Similar to bitterness, this means that you specifically have too much coffee added, and the caffeine levels are too high.

Water Droplet: Too watery! There is not enough coffee/caffeine in your mixture.

Thumbs Up: Of course, this means you've nailed it! Great job!

Dollar Sign: You've set the price of your cups too high, and the customer can't afford it.

**Keep in mind all of these ingredients effect each other. Adding more coffee brings down sweetness, not just raises caffeine, and vice versa.

And thank you bridgeofblues for that report! It has been logged and I will get it worked out in the next update.

I want to make the mixing experience perfect, so if you guys find any oddities in how the customers react, please let me know!

Love you guys!

@runesnow - Hopefully a few years later you figured out you have to fill up the coffee pot by clicking on the gold circle on the right. It took me about 15 game days of no sales to figure that part out. Did I miss that in the directions somewhere?

[sjgreys]

Oh wow, sorry about not making it more clear. I believe there was a tutorial bit about it, but I will double check.

I have a major update coming that will address a lot of issue, but this update will come with a catch...due to the game's age, some info has been lost, and I can't preserve save files. So if you do decide to update and play, your original save will no longer work.
