All stars for this amazing game! You did a crazy job! The second degree of your game, humor, artistic direction, chaotic movements, everything works, is original and refreshing. Congratulations to you all !

This is an absolutely crazy trip of a game and I mean that in the best way possible.

Great idea for a game, very satisfying to kick everyone

I couldn't quite figure out how to finish the game, I kept getting arrested :( I had a great time though, the artwork, sound and the silly physics made it a really hilarious experience :)

Very funny! Even in real life, getting home from a bar is not as difficult as in this game.

Thanks for the positive feedback! @chikentear @duskel We handcrafted the graphics and then scanned them. It was a lot of work, but also fun.

@tommo120 You should stop hitting the people :D - at the end of the street is the house of Rodrigues. It's a long way, so maybe it's not a good idea to kick everybody in the bar ;) When you're outside you sometimes have to kick stuff around, otherwise you can't get through.

Very funny game! Impressed with how the player movement really nailed being unstable, well done! The art was super charming, from the controls screen all the way till the ending. I was bummed that there seemed to maybe be some uninteded graphical bugs in the web player aspect ratio, but other than that, super nice to look at. It was fun listening to the audio cycle through the different lines, and I reallllly loved the track that plays when you're walking down the street.

My biggest wish is that it was clearer what made the cops arrive and cause a game over! I had to read @helen 's reply above to figure that out, which made the experience a lot better! (I had been arrested 4 times before checking that out.) Great work!

So strange but so funny

give me a feel of drunkard home, but more flexible and full of fantasy PS: art so good!

moritz14 2021-10-06 09:55

Really nice game, I love the prison idea!:D

publicidadeba 2021-10-06 11:28

All the way back to my teenage years... :P

This was pretty funny XD

SFX is so good, i can imagine you guys are laughing whilst making this game :laughing: not a quality game but entertaining regardless :thumbsup:

katya-pavlenko 2021-10-07 13:01

Did not get how to win, but liked your SFX

namnam 2021-10-07 18:41

Kind a frustrating game to play but i liked the chldish aestethic and the homemade sound design :)

awesomealliterationalliance 2021-10-09 15:22

I loooove the character designs and the backgrounds, very nice artstyle! :D The game really made me laugh. After the third try I did it. Great and above all an old familiar feeling to come home after a night at the bar. I was just asking myself, why are these barking sounds occur so often?

piper-thompson 2021-10-10 21:42

had a good laugh playing this! most of us have been there, i guess. Nice take on the theme and nice graphics, too. Really a complete little game!

bamberga 2021-10-11 19:27

incredibly charming. I loved the voices. i wondered if there was a way to reduce the police meter, because it seemed like i had to kick some things blocking my way but it was going to call the police, so i got stuck.

mar3k 2021-10-11 19:31

Nice game, its always cool to see hand drawn (physically) graphics.

sibi 2021-10-11 19:38

Really lovely graphics and super fun voice lines! The controls were a bit fiddly but that's probably just realistic for the level of drunkenness. Also quite an odd choice of controls, any particular reason?

villeloso 2021-10-13 01:52

I laughed a lot, also loved the art style

limered 2021-10-14 14:24

@sibi Thank you. The reason for the unstable movement is drunkenness. You can drink Coffee to make control more responsive. We chose the "action" keys based on the words. "k" for "kick", "p" for "pöbeln"(german word for riot while drunk, yeah, we have something like this) and "o" for drinking (it is easy to press, when your fingers already are on k and p, and ones mouth makes an "O" when drinking, hehe).

limered 2021-10-14 14:30

@bamberga Thank You. There is no way to reduce the police meter. You are right, we should not force a player to lose, what is basically health, during gameplay without a way to replenish it. I think this one is ok, because the game is not that long. Sorry for that.

Sometimes there is no way around a bad thing when you're drunk XD

Really, reeeaaaally funny game

sophiakene 2021-10-18 07:54

Nice teamwork! Every single component was really elaborated! The idea is quite original and the graphics so good! At first, it was hard to find the right key to do stuff but one can get accustomed quite easily I think :)

A super unique art style and voice acting! Figuring out how to stumble my way through the world was a lot of fun, although the street level really did run on for long. Great job here!

Though I didn't really get the point of kicking and screaming. You can push almost through everything just by pressing move button. Kicking and screaming only attracts police. The controls are nasty as you planned :D

But voiceover is hilarious guys :D thanks, good job and good luck!
