Don't Spill Your Coffee!

Coffee is a huge part of our modern lifestyle, even if it would seem like the substance itself is pretty terrible at waking us up. However, most people like to have a cup of coffee in the morning, as well as before they start working on something lengthy and important. As everyone knows, on the other hand, there’s always the risk of spilling a bit of liquid on your clothes, especially if you’ve got a fair distance to walk.

Don't Spill Your Coffee! is a silly game in the style of QWOP, in which your goal is to play as a man trying to walk with a cup of coffee and avoid certain obstacles. The controls are your main enemy, on the other hand, because it wouldn’t be so difficult to walk if the mechanics were like in every other third-person game out there. In this case, it’s a challenge to take even a few steps without falling.

Your biggest obstacle is the turnstile,however, because you have to activate the sensor and go through the door as quickly as possible. This requires a lot of practice and precision, which means that you probably won’t be able to do it from the first couple of tries. More and more obstacles are added with each stage, which makes it that much more difficult to make it through.

Besides having to walk, it’s also important that you keep your upper body in the proper position. Too much forward leaning and you can fall, although leaning in any direction has the same effect. You can also use the backward leaning to a drink some of your coffee and obtain a boost, which is useful when you need to move quicker and avoid falling too easily.

As for the graphics, you should obviously not expect anything too great, because that’s not the purpose of the game anyway. The camera view is fixed, although you go through three different angles as you manage to get further. It’s recommended to use a controller to keep your character in check, because it’s much more challenging to do so with a mouse & keyboard combo.

Don't Spill Your Coffee! is certainly a fun game, especially if you like a challenge and you do not mind the high frustration potential. There are enough levels to make it worth your while.
