Coffee Crisis is a side-scrolling beat 'em up built for the Sega Genesis, where you punch through waves of aliens as one of two baristas. The Smurgliens—extraterrestrials who've decided Earth's best exports are wifi, cat videos, metal, and coffee—invade your shop, and you respond with fists. Expect classic arcade brawler structure: move right, clear screens of enemies, repeat. Combat leans into Genesis-era simplicity with melee combos and environmental hazards. The tone is deliberately absurd, leaning on B-movie sci-fi and coffeehouse culture. Levels throw varied enemy types at you while maintaining that retro cabinet feel. It's a throwback for anyone nostalgic about 16-bit brawlers or amused by the premise of defending caffeine from space invaders.
