Gii | Sugarplum Cafe 🔜 Let's Glow! BART Anime Festival @thelettergii.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Hi #PitchYaGame! #SugarplumCafe is an ~aesthetic~ merge crafting game where you run a pastel rococo café 💖 🍰 Merge ingredients into desserts 🎀 Meet fashionable ladies inspired by sweets 🫖 Host elegant tea parties ✨ Embrace your frilly fairytale side #cozygame #egl #cozygames

Title art for the game Sugarplum Cafe, with the name in large curly letters. Two ladies, Lady Milk Chocolate and Lady Vanilla, sit at a table having afternoon tea. In the background, they are surrounded by desserts.

Screenshot of a game set in a cafe, with a currency counter on the top right and a cameo-shaped UI on the top left. Next to the cameo, some text reads "Collect 6 Cameos." The walls are white with pastel pink and teal color accents and gold filigree. In the foreground, three customers (one wearing vanilla, one wearing chocolate, and one wearing strawberry) have speech bubbles over their heads indicating what desserts they would like to order. In the bottom right corner, there is a grid with some desserts. There is also a display window in the background with more desserts.

An elegant tearoom with baby pink curtains and large windows showing a pastel gradient backdrop. In the foreground, three tables with off-white tablecloths seat three pairs of characters, each pair having a tea party. From left to right: Jasmine and Lemon Madeline, Lady Strawberry and Lady Mint, and Lady Lemon and Lady Lime.

The cafe is empty save for a dialogue bubble, with Lady Vanilla in the foreground. The text in the bubble reads, "LADY VANILLA: Ah, you must be the new owner. Nice to meet you!" There are two filigreed buttons in the corner, one to view past dialogues and one to skip the conversation.

Two white and yellow characters look over a small encampment nestled in a rocky canyon. Tents, wooden structures, and campfires are surrounded by high palisade walls.

Screenshot of a level blockout from Halo Infinite Forge. A Spartan sprints forward with trailing blue lines, a small encampment with alien enemies facing them, and a tower structure behind with tall columns, partially destroyed.

A circular circus arena with vibrant colours, the central ring dotted with crates, pillars and balloons. At its very centre is a circular podium.

Screenshot from Halo Infinite Forge. A first-person perspective of a dimly lit room, the entrance door barricaded with planks, and a messy desk in the background. An overturned table has two slumped, armoured figures pushed against it.
