« I really love and enjoy this game a lot! It has very simple and repetitive game play, but it's great for wasting time and relaxing! All the achievements are easy, they're just about grinding and playing. Definitely worth the few dollars! »

« This game is worth way more than it costs. It is one of the few games I have completed and wished there was more to do, as opposed to being kind of relieved to complete it. Highly recommended. »

« Not very good, but so very obviously indie that I would feel bad giving this a thumbs down. The progression curve is so adversarial and unrefined it sort of loops back around to being interesting again. »

« I enjoyed how the brewing minigame, workstation upgrades, and simple business loop made the progression feel satisfying. The goofy characters and absurd humor made the whole experience even more fun. »
