Produced by an independent studio Sparkling Games, this is a logic-arcade game based on an advanced physics engine. The player plays the role of a disabled person with a futuristic hand prosthesis - KS-001 Robo-arm. His task is to prepare tea for his father, which requires extremely high precision in the mechanical handling of the limb.

Ampu-tea is the first commercially released game by the independent Sparkling Games studio. The source of inspiration for developers is the humorous simulation of surgical operations - Surgeon Simulator 2013.

The game has only shreds of plot. The main character lost his hand as a result of a tragic motorcycle accident. However, he received a modern prosthesis - KS-001 Robo-arm, which he slowly learns to use. His first exercise is to prepare tea for his father. However, seemingly simple activity turns out to be a big challenge, in which it is necessary to demonstrate extraordinary precision in mechanical movement of the limb and a lot of patience.

The essence of the game is to operate a hand prosthesis in a three-dimensional space above the table top of the kitchen table. The player must perform the individual activities according to the established tea brewing scheme. The basic difficulty is to control the grip of objects and the precision of movement.

The game is based on an advanced physics engine in which some aspects of moving objects in space have been exaggerated. This leads to funny situations where, as a result of minor mistakes, the virtual kitchen turns into a battlefield.

The Ampu-tea visuals clearly indicate the low-cost nature of production. The three-dimensional graphics used in the game are based on simple blocks, and the quality of the animation leaves a lot to be desired. Humorous accents deserve attention, such as inscriptions on cups or cards with instructions.
