Brew Your Beer!

Everywhere people drink beer because it's tasty, cool and makes drunk. But what is behind these delicious fluid? How is it created?

Basically, it's a fluid which contains water, yeast and carbohydrate (some kind of sugar). The yeast "eats" the carbohydrate to get energy since there is no oxygen and produces alochol and CO2.

In this game, it's up to you to create a good (and strong) beer! You are the yeast which needs to eat carbohydrates and alcohol will appear. But watch out! You will take huge damages of the alcohol so don't touch it!

Go ahead, start the game and just make your beer!

As a yeast researcher I had to try this, but I'm not going to comment about the sciency reservations I have -- after all it is quite hard to make a game where the protagonist have no volatile motion.

I didn't really get how score vs alcohol worked, wasn't alcohol the score? And I never really saw the health of my yeast after digesting some of that ethanol.

Other than that, a simple and quite fun little game.

Hi. Alcohol is the score, of course :). Your life is the number on the right side which is continously counting down.

Great Job btw :)

Excellent idea, I think you can polish this further and create a really fun game. Why not more alcohol = (even) more fuzzy controls?

mmm, beer. Cool concept, a little confusing though.

Fun to play but lacks a self destruction timer for carbohydrates so the player has to move fast and not just dodge alcohol

Ragzouken: Thanks :)
eowindil: Didn't think of it. Maybe a self destruction timer would be a good idea.

Nice little game. It looks easy at first but it actually gets quite hard.

7.20% Beer here ! Bouncing bonus (instead of just goind through them ) is not very usual but nevertheless fun to play.

The download is extremely slow on my end, so I didn't play.
