Beans! Alpha! Play it! Feedback Request!

Hi!

We've finally completed the Alpha for Beans!

It's just the tutorial level, but I'd so appreciate if you'd check it out and give me some feedback.

You can download it here:

Built in NWJS for various OS's. The webfonts work much better in this build.

Additionally, if you're just itching to play it now now now, you can go here:

Is 'Two mats' the loading screen? It seemed to get stuck there.

I got it to load on Game Jolt. Only played 2-3 minutes and stopped.

I really like the music and the vibe it gives.

But I have already stopped as the font was way to small on my computer to read easily. I even tried to go full screen but didnt help.

I like the idea and I love these kind of games. Hope to play more of it. Will update post later with more observations.

Edit:

Very minor: Maybe change color of shirt of drummer in the loading icon? it being yellow makes it blend a lot with the set.

Saw a few times that if it was the same type person they would sit in same chair on top of each other.( actually they dont even have to be same type)

I have researched cappuccino but that goal wasn't fulfilled. Just researched another item which was another cappuccino, this one did indeed meet the goal. But now i have 2 cappuccinos.

Was able to place fridge on top of bar(bottom right)

My worker lvled up? I was told to click on him to rank him up but I can not interact with him at all.

Not sure if this is my fault but on 3/6 my worker and me left the shop. I hired another guy(uncle) but game started to lag a lot. Yeah game lagged out, Uncle would no longer do tasks. Main character never came back. every few seconds game would come to a stop. This after around 20-30 minutes of playing i think.

I had the same issue then i hit f5 and when it reloaded it worked.

That seems to be a caching issue with gameJolt that doesn't happen in the downloaded build >:(

If you hit refresh it goes past.

Font too small! This is good feedback. Very actionable

Thanks for the feedback guys, keep at it!

Played it though for about 30 minutes. Here are a few things i noticed.

Not sure if this is my fault (went in debt for like a minute) but on 3/6 my worker and me left the shop. I hired another guy(uncle) but game started to lag a lot. Yeah game lagged out, Uncle would no longer do tasks. Main character never came back. every few seconds game would come to a stop. This after around 20-30 minutes of playing i think.

Edit: I let the game run in background until day 3/10. The Main character still hasnt come back. The uncle does nothing, but I hired the old lady. She is working but obviously cant fill the orders fast enough by herself.

Enjoyed the overall feel. Would of kept playing if it hadn't of started to lag out towards the end.

I was able to make around $1200 total. Went into debt a few times(would assume this is because of salary?) Not sure though because i would all the sudden go from $30-140 to less than $0. Maybe some kind of message to tell what day of the month is payday? Best case (for me)would be a small chart/list of expenses that occur each month. Show salaries, and maybe total of items/recipes and supplies bought. Doesn't have to be in game but some info on when money leaves is very important i think.

You shouldn't be going in debt, and those things definitely shouldn't be happening, ha!

I will add these to the github issues logs. This is why we do alphas

I appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you liked the feel!

Is there a way to make the game fit the screen when playing on gamejolt?

Gamejolt is a bit of a pill like that.
