Beans: The Coffee Shop Simulator has a great sense of humor and is a fun, casual experience. For a $5 game it was well worth the purchase for me. I enjoyed the silly story and charming characters. This game lacks the depth of most sim/tycoon games that I've played, particularly with the recipe discovery mechanics where the fee to experiment generally tends to make the full recipe purchase price more cost effective (especially with so many potential appliance combinations). However, that was a minor thing and overall I really enjoyed this game when I wanted to just chill and serve up a Deep Fried Espresso and some Sugar Bombs.

Initially I encountered a series of game-breaking bugs, but the developer has been working hard to patch the game up and ever since the last patch my game is no longer suffering from any of those bugs. I have edited my review to reflect the state of the game as it stands now.

For the winter sale price of $15 I couldn't pass YNAB up. The interface is colorful and easy to work with. It took a couple of hours to set up a basic budget and my various accounts, but now it's as easy as popping in for 5 minutes every so often to update stuff. My mind is at ease about my finances. Perhaps I'll no longer get those pangs of guilt as I indulge in the Steam sales anymore since it's actually budgeted in!
