Café Formula

Description of App

Café Formula is a dynamic game for people who love to make food and manage their own cafe. You are the manager of a small virtual sandwich cafe.

After choosing a character you have to prepare orders using order's visual representation on the left side of the screen. Choose compatible ingredients and drag and drop them into compatible square cells.

Hurry up! You have less than a minute to fulfil an order and make a sandwich with dressing and a drink. There are only 4 parts in each order but it is important not to mess up ingredients and place each ingredient in the right square cell!
For instance - the chosen drink should go to the last cell.

Each correct order should award you tips for which you can purchase items for the Dining room, the Kitchen and the Office.

===
When any of the interior scenes is fully completed another Game Center achievement would be reached.

When the player taps on the yellow coin in any of the rooms: Dining Room, Kitchen and Office the new screen is opened with the options to purchase game points (tips). The current game score will be updated with purchased tips amount. In addition ads will not be displayed in the game.

Accessibility Comments

X2Line have an excellent record on accessibility and, as far as is possible, this holds true. In everything except the main game tab it's exactly as you'd expect, very easily navigable. Even on the main tab everything readable can be read with Voiceover. Unfortunately this is of small use as the timed part of the game is graphics based. It is not that it is unlabelled, there is absolutely no indication that anything is there at all, so there is no possibility of working around accessibility issues with VO turned off and I did try hard, as this is the kind of game I'd love to be able to play. It's a shame, but understandable, it's notoriously difficult to find playable graphics based games of this kind.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

Some parts of the app are accessible with VoiceOver, but not enough to make it usable.

Other Comments

I don't see this app becoming accessible. Labeling the graphics, disabling drag and drop and letting us tap things into squares, doable maybe, but finding everything in way under a minute on such a crowded screen? Hmm, I wouldn't like to try it. Smile.

In a move I've honestly never seen before - the developer of this game has changed it completely. Now, you earn tips and so on by playing games of free cell solitaire.

It works pretty well with VO once you get the hang of it - tap a card and tap the stack where you want it to go.

Thanks for letting us know about this. I tried playing Cafe Formula a couple of years ago and struggled with it. I'm happy to re-try playing this game again to see how I go with it. I like Solitaire, so it should be interesting!
