No, it's okay, the cat's got it with the salad. I'll have another flamingod on the rocks.
Very entertaining game, it was a blast! Some of the drink options aren't quite as clear cut as you'd think, evidently the work of a connoisseur. I simply assumed Peter drank a pint of everything, because who has the time for shots?
Haha I love how the car causes as much damage as walking to a bin :^) Cool idea for a game though, I didn't drink along but I liked the music and the art, the walking animation was particularly good, nice :)
A very, veeery enjoyable game. Original, well executed mechanics, fine graphics with cool drunk effects, almost everything is perfect. One of the best I've played so far. BTW: I was getting all the references before the barmans tell, even the Tommy Wiseau one xD. I won at my second try, I'm good at drinking, I guess!
I cannot begin to describe how much I enjoyed this game. Not only did it have a great parody song, but I also learned quick maths. BOOM. Alright, this game was quite the experience. Dialog was entertaining. The mood was spot on. It captured the essence of the fun and sadness of bar hop perfectly. Great game, top marks Lloyd :)
The art is really well made, even the walking animations. Also good job on the song! I like the interactions with the bartender.
What I could recommend for this game is to maybe make the player invulnerable when he bumps into something, because sometimes I get unlucky and hit multiple things consecutively.
Otherwise great job!
Hello! Really liked the art style and wanted to play it... but when I try to enter a bar this happens:

:(
@the-shadermaster You could try using the itch.io Desktop Application which installs the game automatically (probably some problem with extracting the zip....) :)
This is pretty cool game! It's funny and serious, and effect of being totally drunk is great! Wery well done!
I won and ended up in a puddle of puke. Pretty neat story, great music and art.
Awesome one, thanks guys!
Really enjoyed the game, especially the art and weird graphical effects. I think it was stretched out a little too long though, I was very ready for it to be done by the end.
It fits the theme pretty well. It's overall a fun game, but I think it needs some improvements to be really enjoyable. I ended up hited by a car.
Well, the game is not really fun, but the realization is really good and we really get the drunken mood. Good job.
Oh men, you have something with flamingos :) The atmosphere is really here, powered by your awesome graphics, good music and nice story-telling. Sorry but I cannot think of anything to improve, great game!
The style, made me remember playing games in the late eighties. I made it to a full glass but then I ran into too many people and things. Nice game.
I played along with a nice lambic. I shudder to think if anybody actually kept pace with this guy! You nailed the mood though I would've liked either some more gameplay mechanics or faster progression towards the drunk effects, there were a few sections in the middle where it felt like nothing was changing. Still a cool experience and really makes me glad I'm not a bartender. Nice work!
Great fit for theme, the effects and messed up controls really made it 'worse'.
Nice looking game,
graphics and graphics effects are really cool!
but more the game become "worse", more the walk part become boring (soo slooow...), that's a strange difficulty curve...
Nice sounds anyway.
Best drunken simulator, maybe a bit too long and became not fun on the last stretch, where you're really slow.
thatyh game w as greta actualy i gotr a llblit drunklp and alllm andsd anfck
This game inspired me to have some Diesel.
Very great game, but at first it starts up so slowly. I almost abandoned the game with „ah, and that goes on for infinity”, when I noticed that some progress happened that hooked me in to continue playing to the end. I won!
@lazard I'm happy tho hear that. I can officialy say that you probably not only won that game but also life. I wish more people actually made this step. Congratulations. I merely hope you will remember our game tomorrow morning.
@megabrutal Yes it certainly had a slow start. Especially if you actively go for the "less alcoholic drinks" (or if RNG just is a mean guy as allways). I assume with "Diesel" you mean alcohol. That's good to hear. Not that we encourage drinking in any way... I mean. Maybe we do but that's not the point, right? Oh boy... well uh, thanks for trying out our game and giving it the time it needs to actually get to the point where the "progress" happens (in the game as well as in your body if you were drinking).

I got to the end and I liked this game. Screenshot_121517_035752_PM.jpg I've never been drunk in real life. This game conveys the feeling of being drunk so well that I felt like I myself was drunk. The visualaudio effects and messed up controls did great job. The BGM as well.
Walking on the street with this atmosphere really gave me the feeling that just functioning as a normal human is so hard and tiring and thus escapism was well communicated through the experience. I understand some other people's comment about the game being too slow-paced but I believe if you really play the game while actually drinking you wouldn't feel this way.
I'm not a native English speaker so I don't quite get most of the pop-culture references unfortunately.
Overall, great entry. 5 points for mood!
That was incredible, probably the best game I have played so far, so great effort! This was actually a great game in its own right, even if it wasn't for the fact it was made in 72 hours. The art was beautiful, and the 'drunk' visual effects were awesome. The music was very well done too, and suited the mood. The puking noise was disgusting. The script was actually really funny and I was always really looking forward to the next bar. The core gameplay wasn't particularly challenging, and i thought it actually got easier as the game went on, but it is well worth playing just for the story! Excellent game!
Nice game, played it for quite some time, but I wasn't any good at it. The depth perception is quite tricky in this angle which makes it a lot harder, but at least the collisions are really well programmed so it is a bit forgiving in that. One problem I had with this game were the respawns, sometimes it respawned me in front of something so I crashed twice. Also maybe just a small indicator of the 'E' and 'A'/'D' keys for those conversations would make it lot nicer.
Only managed to get in one bar, don't know how I died so quick on the road and I have wrong info on my laptop.. libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile, really like the graphic and atmosphere you created. Guess I am not a drink! lol
@Starlin Pressing any key should fix the problem (or maybe just E). So you can go to the next bar. And the bar after that. To eventually make you a drink :) Or maybe not. But the warning shouldnt be a problem.
I started feeling bad for the main character who's drinking himself into oblivion. I like how even though it says you win it doesn't really feel like one, at least for me. The change up of controls and the blurring was pretty cool, with the small changes in the characters too. Personally I didn't really get the pop culture refs, I kind of saw it as an attempt for the character to prove he's been living life and knows about things but kind of just comes off as presumptuous (and drunk). The situation is presented in a way that makes the player decide if what the character is doing is a good thing, but I wonder if there should be something else (like this is good, do you think so? or this is bad, do you think so? I'm not sure about that though either). Anyway, keep up the good work!
I'm not as think as you drunk I am! >:I

Disclosure first: I don't drink (never liked the taste). After a few minutes of playing, I respected the game enough to at least get a mineral water from the fridge. Sipped that instead, and I don't like it either, but the experience was well worth it.
I've played a lot of games on this jam, and this is one of my top favorites so far. Awesome pixel art, funny references, a melancholic tune, and simple-yet-effective mechanics. The game as its own was not outstanding _until_ the later part, in which it became just amazing.
The drunk state simulation is among the best I've seen, which is usually just a blurry screen. I like how the thing starts to gradually go more and more bizarre, even to the point where getting to the final bar became a real challenge. In other games, changing the controllers is an annoying experience, but here, it was actually so fitting that it felt just great.
This was an incredible jam experience. [In behalf of my team](twitter.com/whalesandgames), congratulations on making one of the most interesting games in the jam. Cheers! :whale:
good game, really good, 'n shit! I like the crap out off thiiis gayme! 8/7 gr8 b8 pr8!
