Really funny game! I am not sure what i am supposed to interact with. But seeing that the objective is to earn money by watching people of different ethnic groups fight each other, i really managed to pull some cash without even dragging a person to a seat at all.

Very fun to play, nice idea !

drkr 2016-12-15 13:16

I had more way fun with this than I should have

hlavik211 2016-12-15 13:16

Good game , I like the gameplay it is fun to play

mrerdalural 2016-12-15 13:35

Hahaha this game gave me a good laugh! Thank you!

Nice job, I like the graphics, music and sound effects. The insults were a nice touch :)

I guess it's mostly random but I managed to score $607,796 after a few tries. Is that good?

Great game! Was a little confusing at first, but its fun to watch a nice old-timey brawl.

Not sure how interaction works, but it looks awesome, and just watching those guys giving punches to each other is sort of funny.

Dev here. We should have definitely included a "How to Play". So for the next players:
- You can drag and drop people on the chairs as long as the fight has not began.
- When close to people they do not like, they get angry
- When at least one guy has become "angry", you can take your popcorn and Watch the (beautiful) fight

Cute idea. Very hard to figure out what part I'm supposed to play. Drag people to the wrong tables doesn't mean anything to me. The racial stereotyping was a tad uncomfortable, especially if that's meant to be the reason people are at the "wrong" tables. Nice music and sound.

Fun idea and fun to play. I made more than 750,000 in one playthrough but after that never managed to get even close in plenty of plays.
Not sure how the set up at the beginning works: is it a timer, or do you have a limited number of guys you can deplace?

Really fun game ! I would have enjoyed more content, like more levels or more characters, but it's fine. Nice job ! (I managed to score 517 398 $)

Whoah amazing game!

The game is simple enough to understand really quick, graphics are great for such a game, audio fits the mechanics you have applied (and it is satisfying to hear the sound for some reason :D) the punch-lines are funny, it creates a nice western-styled mood and I had lots of fun playing it :)

Congratulations :) I love it

5/5 in the funny category. I just sat back and giggled like a schoolgirl as I watched the mayhem unfold. Nice job Badtorse!

blaster391 2016-12-15 21:43

Graphics look great, I like the funny insults that they throw at each other.

One thing that I didn't like was the randomisation of the people, I managed to get a room almost full of the same type of people, which was a very one sided bar fight lol

marcosfl 2016-12-15 21:48

Didn't understand at first, but on the second run I've got the hangs of it. Ironically I got more points on my first try, haha. Good job!

mar3k 2016-12-19 13:51

Really interesting idea, not much to play here, but I liked it and also the sound effects+music were nice

dejvo 2016-12-19 13:54

fun little game. but there's not much gameplay to it

indrkl 2016-12-20 12:52

Fun entry, but I felt like the game played mostly itself.

rockhoppergames 2016-12-20 13:53

Gotta agree with dobnar here, the stereotypes were pretty off-putting. The idea of person-pinball is fun, but watching them sprout stereotyped phrases kept pushing me away from the game.

diningphilosopher 2016-12-20 21:50

Interesting mechanics and I really like the music, but I am not so sure how much there is to 'play' with. The subject of bar fights is not really my thing, but I liked the credits-page. :)

xwilarg 2016-12-21 22:47

The idea is nice, and the game is funny to watch, even if it can quickly become repetitive.

chaoslab 2016-12-21 22:57

That was some fun! Nice physics. Thanks for the entry.

arputikos 2016-12-23 09:57

Funny, god music and graphics, gameplay is simple as it should be. Cool. Innovative.

kamranwali 2016-12-23 20:19

This is such a funny game! I like it. I really like the concept of the game. A store for spending all those money would have been awesome. Overall a really fun game to play. Keep it up!

jramell 2016-12-23 22:09

I liked the sound effects and the dialog, but it feels like something is missing.

coauctor 2016-12-26 22:30

Brawlers cream very funny things. :D

I didn't understand the core mechanics completely but enjoyed trashing the saloon anyway. Thanks!

gdcvdqpl 2016-12-26 23:17

Seems a bit random, but a very fun idea. Good execution.

tkachov 2016-12-28 17:11

Fun idea! I think this might get really fun to play/watch if more variety added: like weapons, fighting with furniture, actual sounds for all the phrases, etc. And, probably, a special mode in which you can set up the initial scene for unlimited time - so you could make it as much fun as possible.

minato4th 2016-12-29 10:20

This was realy funny, thid game realy relieves stress. There some ideas(shooters, huge guys who spread all out) but I think you all done great job!

pcmxms 2016-12-31 16:23

So wrong yet so fun to play. Congrats!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2017-01-01 19:43

Cool idea, I like to watch the fights and consequences of my actions BUT:
- the rules of who likes who are not clearly defined
- you should zoom in because it's hard to distinguish the different etnies with the actual scale
- once the brawl starts, player should be able to fast forward

A cool idea and good execution, you should just work on the randomness of it. Good job anyway!

Funny game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/pmGwBmW3Ksk
