About this game

Creating the perfect coffee: This is your task as a coffee roaster in the solo game Coffee Roaster! During the 5-10 minute game, you'll use your instincts and nose to get the most out of the coffee beans.

The challenge is to roast the coffee beans, which are still hard at the beginning, evenly and to sort out any unfavourable portions. At the same time, it is important to have a positive effect on the roasting process and to stop it at the right time. The preparation of the freshly roasted beans is followed by the decisive cup test: Is this the creation of a true master roaster?

Ratings and reviews

Surprisingly fun game. The tutorial/instructions have issues that made me not understand this game at first. But after watching some videos of the physical version, I got it enough to start playing the app and deducing the rest. Another annoying thing is that the game defaults to showing you the tutorial prompts every time, until you click "do not show again" TO EVERY SINGLE PROMPT. Bizarre design choice, please make the tutorial an on/off thing instead. Very fun game once you get it!

Great game, mess of an app. Can't even finish a game. The pop-ups explaining what all the different spaces and tokens do are in the way constantly. It takes 5-10 clicks to get them to minimize, and then they pop right back up again. Makes the game impossible to play. I have the tabletop version and love it, this implimentation needs some serious work.

Good implementation, not perfect - there are some issues with fonts and non-intuitive GUI, but nothing major. For example, clicking a "change 2 for 3" cup button is interpreted as you choosing NOT to use it, and with no undo button it can be rather annoying when you misclick it, since it irreversibly ruins your score and all the work you've done up to that part. The gameplay itself is smooth, but I do miss the flavor text about the beans and more agency when it comes to choosing which bean to roast. There seems to be too much focus on competing with other folks on the internet which honestly I couldn't care less about. Fix the GUI, add an "are you sure" prompt to some of the buttons which work counter-intuitively, bring back the flavor text and put more customization options - and this is easily a five-star game.

With your active user feedback we have been able to improve some points in the app. We have improved the help, and added a context help that is triggered by a long press. The selection of the joker tile has been improved. The sound error is also fixed and new sounds have been added. Furthermore we have fixed some bugs when continuing the game.
