The cafe is cozy. The rush is not. Brew Blitz is a fast, friendly arcade challenge about reading receipts and serving the right drinks before the shift gets away from you. Scan each order, tap the drink tokens it asks for in any order, protect your remaining chances, and chase a new personal best as the line speeds up. WHAT YOU GET • A complete offline cafe-rush game • Full Shift, Short Staffed, and One Shot difficulty • Short sessions built for replay • Escalating rush phases and lively customers • Local best scores, streaks, accuracy, and survival records • Share your shift: a picture of your score, ready to send • Music, sound, haptics, and reduced-motion settings • A guided first shift and quick replay loop OPTIONAL ONE-TIME PACKS The Extra Shift Pack adds four cafe scenes, Gold and Berry customer styles, and Mania Mode: a turbo challenge with faster token timing, impatient customers, fewer visual cues, two chances, and bonus scoring. The After Hours Pack transforms the whole shift into a neon bar fantasy with new scenes, drink art, patrons, and language. Both packs are one-time purchases you can restore on the same Apple ID.
