Suit up

One of the coolest features on cafe.com is the variety of options available to the user when creating their own avatar.  You are able to dress your avatar with different clothes, change their hairstyle, eye color, and even their skin tone!

Upgrades!

Remember, when playing games on Cafe.com, players have the ability to buy enhanced equipment such as better warships in Ironsides.  Why play with the default ship?  You can do more damage to your opponents by purchasing a superior ship like Obstructer.  Just go to the Gamestore, select a game, and start shopping!

Leveled up

Hi all, I leveled up today and earned the rank "Macchiato".  One of the cool features on cafe.com is the leveling system which shows how good a player is by looking at their rank.
