Cannot place tokens in roasting phase
Tue May 19 2020 Dkafn8dI 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.
Fun but feels like there are glitches
Thu Apr 16 2020 Waddill CatchingsI’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.
Interesting game but weak UI
Sat Oct 05 2019 Lord GekUPDATE: 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.
Pod cast
Thu Jan 16 2020 RequashLove the game. Didn’t think the tutorial was very helpful but games was simple enough to figure out. Only thing is that I can’t listen to podcasts or music while the app is running. Also some times it seems like the game takes a second to process touches and causes me to touch a check mark when I was only intending to confirm I want to take the action not execute which beans to through it the trash. Very excited to have this game in my phone. Please add ability to listen to other apps while playing.
Does not save stats, cannot turn off tutorial
Sun Feb 28 2021 Teufelhunden333This game is not that great. I purchased it to see if I would like the physical board game. Well it saved me $35!
This app is just poorly designed and the constant tutorial that can’t be turned off is annoying. It doesn’t save any of my scores or plays so there is no way to see if you are getting “better” at playing the game.
It’s just a dull game where many of the rounds you are pulling chits out of the bag to just put them back in for the upgrade. It really fell flat for me.
The positive is that it helped me avoid buying the physical copy, that’s why it gets 2 stars.
Great port of a fun solo game!
Mon Sep 30 2019 AlaskaDaveAKLovely rendition of a very fun solo board game. Thank you for taking the time to make this! Though I miss the physical action of the tokens, this is wonderful to have while waiting in line, etc! Fun game, easy to learn but difficult to master. Perfect for iOS! The only thing is the tutorial and rules may be a bit difficult for some to learn, but luckily after s game or two, things start to make sense.
Can’t get it to work on my Phone
Tue Oct 01 2019 GRogriguezTried several times to get this working on my IPhone 11 pro max but keeps crashing. I am able to get it to work on my iPad. I have never played the physical board game but this game is really fun and I do enjoy it. Just wish I could get it working on my phone
Great game!
Fri Apr 09 2021 Kdl88I’m not sure why people are complaining about this game, it’s not buggy and the randomness is fine. This game follows the board game rules and there are specific action windows where you can only do certain things. This game is a great rendition!
