Beautiful game but bugs
It’s such a nice beautiful game. Really enjoy the pace and the art. Unfortunately the game always stuck at the same spot for me and cannot continue the game and the story at all because of it.
Comforting Art Design, Poor Functionality
I bought this game because it looked so cute, calming, and was about tea! Those things ended up being great parts of the game: I read through each page of the tea book and even learned some new things! But many aspects expected of a decent game were missing.
Teacup moves so slowly and there is no way to change her walking speed. ‘Movement sensitivity’ does not change speed, but rather how the character turns left, right, up, down.
You have to be in a VERY specific location for the map to show up, plus the map isn’t available in every area. It would be nice to have the constant ability to open the map, just like you can open the tea book at any time.
There is not a quest log or any place where new information is compiled, so when I came back to the game I couldn’t remember the information I had received the day before. This left me with no idea where to go next.
I would actually like my money back for this game because it has been a waste of my time. I was really excited to play, but the things I mentioned above make it hard to enjoy the experience at all and leave me frustrated instead of calm.

calming cozy!
This game is calm and cozy it’s best with tea, but a thing I have in mind is it can be less pricey because it’s a nice short cozy game and I was thinking the price could be 0.99!
Calming and beautiful
What a sweet game! I loved joining Teacup on her adventure to collect tea for her party, the interactions with all the other animal characters were cozy and the mini games were fun and varied. I like that there was a whole map to explore and that you couldn’t go to certain areas until you completed different quests. Going to her grammas house was my favorite, I would totally live there in that cozy house. Thanks for the escape into a cozy woodland world, just what I needed. Wish it was longer, because I had fun.

Calming and beautiful- needs small bug fixes
This game has helped me be mindful and calm instead of feeling like i need to accomplish all the tasks and be done with it. Especially the fact that she’s anxious and gets positive responses from everyone! I’m enjoying all of the little conversations Teacup has with townspeople. I really enjoy that during the mini games there is no time limit. It’s a pace I’m not used to and am very happy with!
That being said, I really dislike how slow she moves, and that you can’t access the map until you’ve walked to the very edge of the screen. Even then, sometimes you cannot get the icons to pop up the way you need them to. She has to be in a VERY specific spot for you to be able to access the map, or move to the next screen. Along the same lines there are bugs where you can’t close the tea encyclopedia book, or the steps to walk away never show up, so you’re forced to shut the game down.
Overall- these things have not stopped me from wanting to play the game, it’s a special idea that could definitely be expanded upon, and i can appreciate the simplicity for ages 4+ to be able to play!!

so cute
it’s such a cute game so fun but definitely too short, worth the money
Kind of disappointed
I bought this games as a recommendations off TikTok. I spent 5 dollars on it, trivial amount I know. But I’m a broke college student that needs a good distraction. I’m disappointed that it was such a short game. There’s a lot of possible ways they could expanded the game, give the main character money, maybe the possibility of opening a shop, starting a tea garden. I just think there’s a lot they could’ve added that they didn’t. I personally don’t think it’s worth the 5 dollars, but it was really fun.

Don't bother - all style no substance, appalling UI and UX
Pros - it looks very pretty
Cons:
The text on speech bubbles isn't aligned and is often obscured by character names.
Spelling is abysmal. It's so appalling that I thought that English wasn't the developer's first language. Turns out they're American (although it uses a mixure of British English and American English spelling).
I played on an M1 Max MBP with a 16" screen - why is there a 2" black border...?
I realise that the developer has categorised this as family, but I did think that was simply for the story - but the puzzles represent absolutely no challenge, a 5-year-old would have no difficulty. Except for the 'fire magic powder at errrant flying carpets puzzle'; it is IMPOSSIBLE to aim the powder because at the carpets becasue the cursiorflies to the top of the scfeen and, if you do manage to get it in the right place, the carpets move too fast.
To perform any action, you have to ensure that Teacup is standing in exactly the right place, a millimetre out and the action disappears. Then, instead of clicking/tapping on a character, or on the screen to move, you have to tap a button in the bottom right corner. At least on my MBP I can use the arrow keys to move, the joystick control on my iPad is beyond frustrating.
I will be asking for a refund. To ask £4.50 for this crap is insulting - I can't believe it was alpha tested, never mind beta. I've played infinitely better games for a third of the price.
Oh and telling a FROG to be careful near the pond because the "water is very deep".
This is the first game I've played from this developer and, on this showing, it'll definitely be the last.
