About this game

Sips is a cafe idle game made by Jono Shields for GBA WinterJam 2023. Customers arrive, people pass the window and money accumulates while the scene keeps moving. Your role is to choose improvements for the cafe, from a clock and cookies to plants, a cat and Wi-Fi.

Press X to open the purchase list. The up and down arrows move the selection, X buys an affordable item, and Z closes the list. Bought items lose their price in the menu, and purchases can add visible details to the cafe. There is no need to steer the customers.

This entry uses the interactive jam game. Start with an inexpensive item and watch the room change before saving up for another purchase. The creator also offers a separate non-interactive display version.
