Yummy Drink Factory
Yummy Drink Factory, by Amaranth Games, is a time-management, make-a-recipe game.The story behind the game is that a rude youngster gets lost in the woods. To teach her humility, a witch banishes her to a magical kingdom to work as a barista. She must learn recipes and serve the fairies the proper drinks in order to gain her freedom.
There are 3 main story modes from which to choose: Easy, where you learn 20 recipes, Medium, and Hard, where you learn all 36 recipes.
In addition to story mode, you can play just using recipes to earn gems with which to decorate your shop. The more pleasantly decorated the stand, the more patience your customers will have. You also can create your own drinks and play free-form with them, as well as share your drink recipes with other people who have the came.
The playstyle feels like a hybrid of Chocolatier and Burger Island. The music is Zeldish and cute, although I did get tired of hearing Scarborough Faire.
You can consult the menu at any time during making the drinks. You can prepare drinks in advance for customers. Kids may like the option of using slug slime and warts and fairy dust in their drinks.
Warning, though: instead of having profiles as many casual games do, this one has "save game slots" which means you can accidentally save over a game. Unfortunately, you can be in free-style mode and save over your story game, so be cautious.
