Version 0.4.0

Made for phones, and a place to keep what you take down

New

  • Made for phones. On a phone, the shop, your café, the inventory and orders open in one band along the bottom, with cards that fit their words and buttons. Your coins, the clock, the daily requests, quests, garden work and settings slide in from the right.
  • Easier to read and tap. One size for text and buttons everywhere, every button easy to hit with a thumb, and the bubbles over your café stay readable when you zoom out on a phone.
  • Keep what you take down. Taking a piece down now keeps it in Inventory › Stored, ready to place again for free, just as you left it. Change your mind? Sell it from there.
  • Rewards arrive in your inventory. Décor you win from quests, daily requests, the streak and the Loyalty Card goes straight to Stored. A gift already waiting in the shop shows "Free": press Claim and it joins the rest.
  • Clearer shop signs. A small present on the Shop button means a gift is waiting, and a red sack means a supply has run out. Tapping the Shop takes you right to it.
  • A second barista in the biggest café. Once your café reaches its largest size, 13×11, you can hire a second barista. The two share the kitchen and never make the same thing twice.
  • See what your server is carrying. The dishes on the tray now show over your server's head, the one being delivered in front and the rest waiting behind it, and each dish goes from the tray straight to its guest.
  • Playing on an iPhone or iPad? A one-time tip on the title shows how to add the café to your Home Screen, where it gets the whole screen.

Fixed

  • Text and buttons no longer spill out of their cards on small screens.
  • The garden gate's sign stays on the gate instead of sliding around when a panel opens.
  • The sound switch in Settings looks right on phones again.
  • A recipe's card now shows how long it takes on that machine. Upgraded ovens and machines were always faster, but the card still showed the base time.
  • Your barista now cooks for every waiting order, using every free space on upgraded counters and ovens, instead of preparing one thing at a time.
  • With several ovens or machines, your barista uses the fastest free one and spreads the work across the rest, instead of piling it onto the first one you placed.
  • Two servers now share the rounds, the more rested one going first, instead of the first one hired doing nearly all of them.
