Time to take a ride on the Sushi boat: Kuma Sushi Bar

.

.

NOTE: This may be the last blog for a bit due to some complicated issues I can not over-come quite yet. Keep an eye on my twitter @hakuzo_nightfox for updates.

Today I bring you a very anime inspired game called Kuma Sushi Bar. Kuma literally means bear in Japanese. As thus, you are a bear that makes sushi. You inherited this bar and it's your job to fix the mess. There are only 2 currencies in this game to deal with, the gold coins and dollars. You pull in customers by clicking on the flier button which brings only 1 customer, or click on the tv and watch an ad to bring in a full room of customers. Note: This game can only be played in landscape mode.

As you level up the bar on the top by collecting star, you can unlock rarer customers that will leave you larger tips. I think the customers under BAD are ones that will make a mess of the place after they are done and you have to click on their mess to clean up.

As you progress, you unlock new employees that help you make food when you have to rest. Each one has unique skills that can be utilized even when you rest.

When you click on the hammer, you get all the spots you can fix and it takes dollars to do so. Once you clear a spot, you can then buy a furniture item to decorate with. Each item give you stars that level up your resturant.

Here are some of the items you can unlock. As you progress in the game you can do things to unlock more options. Generally you have to be able to watch an AD to unlock these things from a random event.

As you progress, you can but a staff room that allows your employees rest in between customer rushes and you can talk to them here and learn tips to help you prepare more items. To get here click on the Right arrow.

The left Arrow brings you to another part of the restaurant. I have not made it this far yet so this will be a surprise for you to find out.

You can click on the present to bring up this screen. This is the shop screen, but it also houses a daily reward. You can also get here by clicking on the scroll on the main screen.

When you get a lot of customers in you can click on the image of a knife that shows up at the bottom of the screen. You now are faced with the prep table. You click on ingredients that you must put in the right order to make food. It is pretty easy to figure out what to do. Once all the ingredients are assembled you click on it to prep the food. Then you click on the matching callout to have your cat employee give it to the customers. Sometimes you run out of food and have to wait for it to restock.

You can upgrade your ingredients and recipes as well. You can access these via the scroll on the main screen. Each upgrade gives you more star progress and reduces the time it takes to prep the food or even increase the amount of pay you get. These can be upgrade further after you level up the restaurant. 

Just the quick shot of the option screen. Nothing exciting here.

You can progress through tasks each day to unlock more designs that you can buy. These do not require you to watch any ads to unlock.

Are you an indy programmer or game dev?

If so, you can leave a comment or contact me on social media for a chance to have an interview with you posted on my blog. I am looking for many devs that focus on mobile programming. If you have a cross-platform game, that is fine too as long as it's on mobile.
