Greetings, fellow liver game people! I like the ambiance added by the chatting, coughing, and clinking glasses. By the end it was nearly impossible to control my character, but it never seemed completely pointless to keep playing. I got a final score of 55632.

Very committed to the theme, in name and gameplay! The ambiance in the game was really incredible. I wish the camera would stay fully zoomed out and the drinks I had gathered orders for were easier to see but the concept is great. Excellent job for wrapping in time to de-liver for the jam!

Thanks for the quick feedback. The ambiance was an important factor to get the bar feeling right. And i can tell you how hard it is to actaully record enough sound bits to make it feel crouded and not sound creepy. Also @anguium, I agree that a zoomed out camera would make it easier. But that's exactly the reason why we didn't zoom it all all the time ;)

Haha I loved the humourous take on the theme! It was a really interesting and fun entry, the sounds & layout made it surprisingly realistic of a pub - really sold the game. The mechanics are fun, and it's a tricky little game when you've got to manage so many people - but I love it for that exact reason, one of the few games I've played so far this jam that makes me feel challenged! The drunk mechanics are just hilarious

I likes how it started, the floor tiles can get you dizzy a bit but i managed to push trough that, what i didnt manage to push trough was the fact that the more orders you deliver it seems the more drunk you get so the character becomes harder to control, by the end of it i had no control of the character at all and i couldnt reach the bar to grab the drinks, a fun experience but the severity of the controls hurt the overall experience.

love the audio and how the vision gets distorted as the player gets more drunk, not being able to control my character was funny

Maybe the shift lasted a bit too long, really hard to control at the end :smile: Managed 48k, but struggled a bit trying to understand the movement. Fun experience!

41591 ! Well done with the drinking effect along the day, nice serving mechanic. I took a second to read the comments below the game to make sure the characters was drunk and behaving strangely. Then I notice the stars above his head. Nice one!

Sound design was so good! And was totally excited to see how far the effect would go. Love the idea, game was awesome!! Got 73400

This game was fun! I was like... why are the controls all messed up, oh wait hes drunk! the camera warp cracked me up, trying to get phil to deliver a beer that was right next to him! c'mon phil get it together. Great job

Reminds me of getting drunk in Deep Rock Galactic

claybro2021 2023-05-04 03:55

Yeaa! Destroy all of those livers! The game was really fun, it reminded me of a chill version of overcooked where you get drunk the more you play.

xschaumix 2023-05-04 07:44

Awesome Game! It was so fun and the movement was really unpredictable at the end, i couldnt manage to get behind the bar anymore! :smile:

noskro 2023-05-04 07:58

Thank you all! I am really happy about all your comments! Yes, the controls get really hard at the end, but that was intended. The idea was that the game basically ends when you get too drunk. But since you can (theoretically) serve your guests at any level of drunkness, we needed a timer to really end the game.

haha nice! Interesting take on the theme here. Nice work :)

brick2face 2023-05-04 18:31

Very amusing, some background music would have been nice but the ambient chatter was funny.

emojibea 2023-05-04 22:12

Super polished game. Drunk feeling was spot on, theme usage was extremely clever. Well done!

idoesnotcompute 2023-05-04 22:13

This was a fun and creative game! Loved the sound effects and the visual effects as you play.

kadenzombie8 2023-05-06 20:31

Really good and smooth gameplay! Splash screen was funny. :)

Damn funny game about a bartender sipping from the mugs of customers. Demonstrates the negative effects of alcohol on the body xD

guardaro 2023-05-06 23:16

I like that you hit on a couple of interpretations of the theme at once: you're de-livering customers while you deliver their drinks. The control changes were interesting; you could still navigate to where you wanted to go even towards the end of the game, but it got pretty difficult to predict *how* you would get there. Surprising amount of realism! Nice audio work, too.

daveybb 2023-05-08 09:31

Score of 39451! I really enjoyed how smooth the AI was at walking in and finding their seats. Drunk feeling was pretty spot on. Loved the sound design. Job well done!

I never thought a bar simulator could be this much fun. The drunken effects are really good. Clicking through all the instructions past the instructions was fun too.

haustgeirr 2023-05-15 20:54

I made 31 dollars and drank 20 drinks before it became unplayable. Not sure if you can sober up but getting drunk was fun. The bar chatter sounds were fun.

logicprojects 2023-05-16 18:16

Really good game, I enjoyed the audio and the effects of getting drunk were really good. It actually felt nice for the first few minutes of drinking because you were mostly in control of the character but occasionally would drift. The ending of got a little uncontrollable but I think that's what you were going for. Overall a nice experience, maybe a bit more depth in the drink serving would have helped though

stephen-kyranakis 2023-05-19 05:13

Nice work! I particularly enjoyed the drunkenness effects and the audio
