Love the unique take, the graphics are great.

Took me a minute to understand the controls, but otherwise I like the premise and execution!

Cool take on the theme. Little difficult to see with the motion blur but kind of adds a drunken feel to the whole thing so it works haha. Nice job :)

Really nice entry, very interesting take on the theme ! It took me some time to figure out but after that I enjoyed serving more and more complicated drinks to customers. Around 11 pm I felt slightly tired of serving Martini's so I stopped being a barman and started dancing to keep the party alive by myself, until I sadly had to stop dancing around midnight. Congratulations :)

Nice game a bit hard to understand how all the bar works but then it's very fun, I'll replay it for sure!

Tad asset flippy but fun for a couple of games and a good interpretation of the theme

Fun game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/BkQLNdwwwdM

I loved this game for a lot of reasons, the deafault Unreal characters, the fact that they ORDER DRINKS DANCING, the fact that YOU CAN DANCE, even the bugs!!!!! Seriously, this game has an unique take in a type of game that is generally very boring

Love it! I've never gotten to be a bartender in a game before :) I like how there is a crouch button. I can easily see this being expanded with more drinks, having to do more difficult things (grab the right bottle/ tap nozzle), etc. Bravo!

Very well made had a lot of fun :-). Just didnt feel like keeping the party alive that much.

Cool idea! It's really original to implement the theme on the dance floor - keep it up! True, I did not understand the system for creating alcoholic cocktails, but I liked going to a nightclub and dancing. Well done! dance.png

Nice game!

It took me a while to understand what to do, but I had fun when I got it! :D

I wish there was an option to turn off the motion blur... I hate that effect in all games, and it always is the first thing I turn off when playing something... :/

There's something wrong with the pivot point of the player character: I think it's off-center...?

ultrarat 2020-04-27 23:42

@steffo Sorry about that, if it's makes you a bit sick on any unreal game built in a non-shipping mode ( including this ) hit tilde and type `ShowFlag.VisualizeMotionBlur 0` into the console. That should turns off the built in post processing effect at least.

Didn't really have time or a had an existing graphics options menu.

nice graphics and gorgeous gameplay :)

steffo 2020-04-30 16:32

@ultrarat I didn't know about that! Thanks for letting me know! :D

fatpenguin 2020-05-02 12:39

That was fun, I enjoy organisation games like that! :D Also the atmosphere is great with the bar and everything :)) You could also add sluping shots from someones bellybutton or something xD

Gameplaywise the Rum thing didn't make sense to me :( also It would have been nice to add a wastebin where yu throw away wrong orders, or if you could put down things on the counter at all :3 This can be a really funny game! :D if you decide to polish, maybe add actualy characters, can't say I don't enjy the unreal dummies, but... :P bonus points fr the cat image! :D Why don't you make the characters cats? :D They would probably then all order White Russians tho.. ^^

ultrarat 2020-05-03 07:33

@fatpenguin thanks for playing. Those are good suggestions for if we had more time. Thanks for noticing! I make it my personal mission to include my cats in my LD games as an Easter egg... or sometimes more directly :P http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-35/?action=preview&uid=27370

fatpenguin 2020-05-05 19:05

@ultrarat hahahaha, thats amazing! Why didn't I think of that before? Now I feel like an idiot, I got these 2 furballs lying on my couch for nothing... ^^ hahaha! I like your creativity :D

And yeah gamejams, I knooooow time's never enough, it's so funny how you've come to arranging yourself and lowering your bar by the hour... at first there are so many "must-have"s for you and in the ending you're happy about every little shit you actually manage to do xD So much for your precious "standards" you had 3 days ago amirite ^^

boaz 2020-05-08 08:01

Good game

desces 2020-05-10 12:22

I liked it! We had a similar idea at the beginning, nice to see it in your game. Good game :)
