Coffee Crisis is a 2017 Beat 'em Up action game developed and published by Pittsburgh's Mega Cat Studios for the Sega Genesis, in which an alien race intending to invade earth have their plans thwarted by – wait for it – a couple of baristas.An alien race called the Smurgliens, having detected Earth's wi-fi on their network, took an interest in human's heavy metal music, cat videos, and most important of all, coffee. After years observing humanity from outer space, the Smurgliens decide to launch an invasion.In the Black Forge Coffee House, two nerdy baristas, Nick Miller and Ashley Corts, learns beforehand of the invasion when a trio of Smurgliens attempt to invade their shop, and realizing the Smurgliens have infiltrated human society, brainwashing numerous members of the public, the two hypercaffeinated baristas decide to take on the Smurglien invasion by themselves.Fun Fact: The two main Player Characters are based on two real-life coffee shop employees from the Black Forge Coffee House, an actual shop that does exist in Pittsburgh. Yes, really. | |

| Coffee Crisis (Video Game) / int_1ba5dc68 | comment |
The Greys: The basic Smurglien invaders resembles the archetypical grey alien - bulging heads, lanky arms, huge almond-shaped eyes, and whatnot. They're also the first enemies encountered and The Goomba which Nick and Ashley can beat up with ease. | |

Harmless Enemy | |
| Coffee Crisis (Video Game) / int_3a9f9136 | comment |
Harmless Enemy: There's a purple Smurglien who doesn't have abilities to attack Nick and Ashley, and instead runs around the area carrying a sack of coffee beans on its back. Attacking it will make the alien drop beans which can be collected for points, and defeating it nets a huge point bonus. | |

Drinking Contest | |
| Coffee Crisis (Video Game) / int_5f2a34e5 | comment |
Drinking Contest: Nick and Ashley would binge-drink entire gallons of coffee after each stage, restocking their caffeine level after beating up tons of alien mooks. The ensuing drinking mini-game is a contest where the players (or against an AI in single-player mode) tap the "Jump" button as many times as possible within 15 seconds to swallow as much coffee as possible. | |

Improbable Weapon User: Nick and Ashley starts the game with their default weapons, in order, being a coffee maker and a sack of coffee beans. Which works amazingly well as bludgeoning weapons on alien mooks. | |

Mugging the Monster | |
| Coffee Crisis (Video Game) / int_7276d0de | comment |
Mugging the Monster: Early in the first stage, a trio of Smurgliens (the lowest-level Goomba variety) tries hijacking the Black Forge Coffee House, believing it to be another easy target. They learn beforehand that the two caffeine-obsessed baristas, Nick and Ashley, are NOTHING like the civilians they just brainwashed as the two baristas quickly wipes the floor with the Smurgliens, before uncovering the invasion plot. | |

True Final Boss | |
| Coffee Crisis (Video Game) / int_8029fa50 | comment |
True Final Boss: Turns out defeating the two Smurglien leaders - General Duke and his father, Commander Darth - isn't enough. The Smurgliens have planted a Harvester, an elite Smurglien specimen which grows stronger by absorbing rock music, and is targeting a concert in Pittsburgh. Cue Nick and Ashley rushing to the concert and fighting the Harvester. Then the game finally ends if they win. | |

Retraux: The game is a massive Genre Throwback to old-school arcade games dominating the arcades of the past. Heck, in one cutscene it's mentioned the Smurgliens have been observing mankind ever since seeing footage of old video games, back during the 80s and 90s, and have been planning their invasion from that point! | |

Giant Mook: The overweight, blob-like Smurglien brutes are larger than the regular Smurglien varieties, and can tank a lot of hits before going down (at which point it dissolves back to a blob puddle). It's primary attack have it expelling blobs of goo from it's oversized belly as projectile weapons. | |

Must Have Caffeine: Both Nick and Ashley, naturally, they're baristas fending off an Alien Invasion. The end of each stage have them partaking in coffee-drinking contests which have them swallowing cup after cup of coffee to boost their strength, and halfway through the game they can pick up extra coffee beans to boost their attack. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Coffee Crisis (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: There's quite a few: When Nick and Ashley lands on Planet Smurglien, they took the time to reference The Wizard of Oz, for some reason. Towards Star Wars, as Nick and Ashley confronts the second Smurglien commander — named Darth — after defeating General Duke, where it turns out Duke is the son of the grand Smurglien commander: One of the higher-level grey-type Smurglien mooks seem to be cosplaying Professor Charles Xavier. This particular mook wears a suit similar to the Professor's (unlike the other naked Smurgliens), rides a wheelchair (with an "X" on it's spokes cover) and attacks by using his mental powers fire a mental energy bolt from his forehead. | |
