C0FF33-8

A tiny 8-bit rogue-like barista game made for Mini Jam 204 (Theme: Cafe)

About the Game

C0FF33-8 puts you behind the espresso machine at a cozy university cafe. Each shift lasts just 15-30 seconds of real-time chaos-serve drinks, build combos, and impress (or disappoint) a hidden evaluator.

Between shifts, you'll draft permanent perks that will shape your playstyle. But, beware: every new day gets harder.

Core Mechanic: The Hidden Evaluator

At the start of each shift, you're told what the evaluator values:

• SPEED - Serve drinks fast.  Early-rush matters. Reaction time wins.
• COMBO - Build streaks. Consistency is key. Chain orders for bonus multiplier.
• ACCURACY - Perfect execution. One mistake falls the evaluator. Zero margin for error.

But here's the catch: You don't know which customer is the evaluator as they appear as a normal face in the crowd. 

Satisfy the hidden evaluator and earn a perk. Fail, and lose your combo. Either way, the day continues.

Controls

- Arrow keys (←→↑↓)  for recipe-building
- X key to confirm/serve drink

There is no cancel/backtracking of recipe to keep the pace fast.
