Do you enjoy the jolt from a good Match 3 game? Coffee Rush is a cute puzzle pick-me-up that will have you buzzed morning or night.
What’s it about?
While the rest of the town’s joe joints are being forced to close down thanks to a sludgy supergiant, you wake up and smell a business opportunity. The coffee you plan to offer will be more quality, but requires your customers wait until you can perform a combo for each one of their drink’s ingredients.
As in other Match 3 games, your main gameplay area is a grid filled with random arrangements of the important items – that is beans, cubes, cream, and other java-inspired elements. As customers file in, their order appears on the right of your screen. Different number quotas are assigned to each part of their beverage, and only matching strings of the corresponding ingredient will satisfy that section of the recipe. When it’s ready, all will transform into a finished product that you must click to deliver to the patron, but you can keep making combos to upgrade the size if you wish.
It wouldn’t be true to a video game’s form if the consumers were calm. Like coffee drinks, the PC patrons come in all sorts of flavors and varieties.
Fortunately for you, your shop can be well stocked in patience pastries to shove down their throats when they start tweaking out, paving the way for them to become addicted to sugar in addition to caffeine. Goodies will also drop into your grid to distribute from time to time.
After every level comes the opportunity to go shopping, where you can buy new recipes or more treats. You’ll bypass the store, however, if you fail to meet the day’s revenue goal, which calls for a repeat of the round.

Pros and cons
+ You can play at skill level Espresso, Double Espresso, or Quadruple Espresso.
+ 50 frantic levels all over town.
+ 12 funny customer types, from brides to aliens. Each sipper is a different tipper and has their own tolerance level of how long they can wait for their wakeup.
+ The patrons say amusing things if you tick them off, such as the cop who quips: “You should be ticketed for moving too slowly!”
+ Cute graphics and effects.
+ Not just an Expert Goal, but Super as well.
- It’s unclear if you can go back and replay levels, making the Expert goals pointless if you can’t. You can’t go back before you beat the game, at least.
- Even though it’s brimming with caffeine, you may grow tired of it before you hit cup number fifty.
The verdict
If you like your Match 3 games fluffy like the whipped cream of a Frappuccino, Coffee Rush will cure your craving. If you’re the type who would never dream of spending $5 on a cup of coffee, though, chances are you won’t want to spend your time on this game, either.
