I have a similar set of complaints as a couple other folks. The tutorial is very unhelpful and the ‘more’ button is wonky. The game will also not let me place flavor tokens where they should be permitted to go. This would be such a blast of a game and I could see non-gamers getting into it, so I hope these get fixed.

I’m new to this game. The rules were a bit hard to understand but I read the rules of the board game online and was able to piece it together. That said, from what I read, I should be able to use flavor tokens on either side of the board, at any time, as long as I can perform the associated action (right?). For some reason, it frequently doesn’t let me place a token where I believe I should be able to place it (unless I’m mistaken but I cannot figure out why, if that’s the case). Similarly, I was playing a game at one point and it wouldn’t let me place a “1” token on the upper left spot to claim the wild flavor token. I know that should be allowed to happen at any point so I do believe that is a glitch. Fun tho. If they can work the glitches out, it feels like a keeper. Also seems to be some issues in recording high scores as I complete full 3-bean games and it doesn’t seem to keep a record of those games in the high score menu.

UPDATE: While I still feel the UI is a bit unintuitive, the developer has politely pointed out clear work arounds to my biggest issues.The core game is interesting but without hover text to explain specific UI elements, a way to call up help in-game (the tutorial pops in occasionally to explain things, but you can't bring the help up on your own in-game), and if you ever hit "Back" while looking at your coffee info sheet, it starts a new game! Lastly, while the game features weekly leaderboards, there is no quick and easy way to see your personal best score if not good enough to be among the top players. I'll happily change my rating if these many issues are addressed.

I’ve been wanting to play this solo game for quite some time, but the physical box is too expensive for what the game offers. I was excited to see an app version!Unfortunately, the app has several bugs. First, it offers you three ways to play 1x, 3x, and expert. The expert option is locked, but they give you no information on how to unlock it. I’m assuming that you have to complete the achievements. Secondly, the achievements aren’t always recognized. I’ve met the requirements for a few of them while playing, but they weren’t awarded. Third, when you place a flavor token in the right hand column for an effect, it locks you out of the left hand column (immediate effects).In regards to design, the game has several user design issues. First, there are no prompts when playing that makes it difficult for a first time player to understand what to do. Secondly, the Roasting button is really hard to use. Your finger tends to cover up the options they show you when you start to drag it. There was plenty of room for them to just show 2 small buttons (roasting, roasting and cupping). Secondly, it’s a pain to constantly click on the coffee recipe to remember the flavor tokens and roasting level. They could easily identify these things on the main screen. Thirdly, when clicking to see what’s in the bag, your finger covers up the disk play making it hard to see the token counts. Fourthly, when playing the wild/joker token on a wild space it’s impossible to see the three token choices, let alone actually select the one you want. Fifthly, they ha ent updated the game to work on modern iPhones. The top of the screen is cut off by the phone’s speaker. Lastly, it’s sad that I can’t just select a coffee recipe and play with that. I’m assuming that’s part of the “expert” mode, but I may never know. That said, I really like the game! I just wish the interface was more intuitive and less buggy.
