Project story

A business story you can play.

The assignment grew far beyond a promotional mini-game. It became a playable interpretation of Mutha Herbs: colorful, community-minded and built around the satisfying rhythm of making something well.

The challenge

Create a real game—not a branded reskin—that could introduce the business, stay readable on phones, reward repeat play and scale across six prepared platforms without fragmenting the experience.

The creative direction

The visual system carries the warmth and energy of a neighborhood juice shop into a playful world of customers, recipes and growth. Each stage expands the setting and responsibility while keeping the core loop immediate: take the order, build it carefully and earn the next opportunity.

The technical approach

A shared HTML, CSS and JavaScript runtime keeps the game consistent and lightweight. Capacitor prepares the mobile editions; Electron prepares desktop builds. Responsive layouts, touch targets, keyboard support, local save data and reduced-motion considerations were treated as product requirements—not cleanup items.

The progression

From first order to a thriving café.

Four levels broaden the menu, setting and business systems while a five-chapter story turns progress into something personal.

Readable anywhere

Layouts and controls adapt from narrow phones to desktop displays, with generous targets and legible interface states.

A working world

Customers, recipes, bowls, toast, baked goods, inventory and employees make the final café feel active rather than decorative.

03

One product system

A shared runtime keeps content and behavior aligned across web, iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows and macOS builds.
