HOW TO PLAY + TIPS:

WASD to move, Left Mouse Button to shoot!
Barrels contain beer in them; shoot the barrels to break them!
Beer heals you fully, but incurs one random penalty from the following list:
- Movement leaning effect
- Accuracy down
- Color distortion
- Screen blur
- Ripple distortion
- Unstable camera
- Tilting camera
Penalties are permanent and stack with one another, and can get higher in intensity!
Drinks are a multiplier to your final score; the drunker you get, the higher the multiplier!

======================================

Tools:

MagicaVoxel - Voxel art
bfxr.net - Sound effects
abundant-music.com - Randomly generated music
GXSCC - Coverting Midi to 8bit
Audacity - Cropping audio
Unity - Game engine

Really cool! However, something like a dash would be nice :smile:

Great game, fell for the "ooh let's pick up the beer for the sake of picking it up" thing which really messed with my vision (Great theme guys :yum:)

Controls were easy to understand and the game had a variety of zombie types which was great.

Nothing really else to add other than the music could be somewhat less samey.

Cheers!

When I was 8 years old, dad took me to a business dinner. There is no water and I'm thirsty, so dad gave me beer. I drank 8 tins of beer and vomit. That was the last time in my life I took alchohol

My playthrough: https://youtu.be/hCw-eSVb-Rs

Dat graphics look very polished. That effect when the guy got drunk is great too. Maybe if we can shoot stronger bullets (like shotgun?) it'd be a lot more fun!

This was probably the most polished LDJam game I've played yet! Everything in it is up to a pretty high standard of quality for something made in only 3 days or so, and it's fun to boot! I really enjoyed the stacking crazy effects you got from picking up health... ahem, I mean a fresh cold brew from the tap. The shooting felt great and the voxel graphics were awesome. Really well done you guys!

Just got my high score today haha.
It's a really cool and addictive game that really taps into that arcade one more try feel. This kept me entertained for a good whole 2 hours or more 👌

Simple but effective gameplay! Wish there was more explanation in-game, and more space to escape (you can tell I was pretty bad at it haha!). Graphics are amazing :)

Fun game! I like how the effects of being drunk are shown on the screen. I'm terrible at it, though. My score is 999.

Score was 9582. Very fun, and very polished!

Played the web version.

Had a lot of problems with inputs being stuck.

When fire button was stuck it was kind of good - firing at maximum rate is kind of cool.

When movement to some direction was stuck... it wasn't that cool.

Anyway - a nice little game. A bit more variety among zombies would help though. Maybe make small ones a bit faster, and fat ones a bit slower...

An interesting game (but admittedly quite traditional, was an interesting throwback to playing these kinds of games on Kongregate a few years back), but for the love of god: if you make a game with sound (esp the music which plays right away in the menu), please let the player adjust the volume! (I turned my volume to like 5% on my system to not turn deaf)

Though the easiest thing you can do is make sure the baseline is already lower than 100%, don't set the volume so high!

*... Please :D*

Don't forget to go out and vote others games if you want yours to get a few more too, just open the smart games ranking (or even the ranking of danger https://ldjam.com/games/danger/all or ones with very few ratings, depending on what you want to do! https://ldjam.com/games/zero/all) and go through and play and rate a few :)

Hope you make it through, aside from the sound issue, it is a fun little game and the recoil and drunkenness mechanic has an interesting duality in that they affect eachother!

Really cool game! The effects and the sound really contributed to the mood.

Loved the Voxal style graphics and the 16 bit sound(i think its 16) good job,, can't wait to see more from you.

Awesome funny game. When I see those other highscores, I just know how bad I'm at it X-D

Sometimes I was surrounded by zombies, and they just wouldn't die, so I died pretty soon afterwards. Given that others managed much better I assume this is my personal fault. But I'd love to see zombies dissolve after they reduced your health. OTOH maybe this ruins gameplay...

I like the visual effects, though they don't disturb gameplay as much as they probably should ;-)

Great attention to detail and the effects are fun and interesting. Never felt too unfair though it would've been nice to have some invisibility frames and the ability to phase through the enemies after getting hit because once they surround you and/or back you up against a corner it is pretty much game over as there's nothing I can do. Still, graphic/sound/music are nice.

Couldn't decide whether raging or funny! Really enjoyed it, thanks there are shadows to anticipate where the zombies are going to fall, I just couldn't bear the barrels falling again when trying to get drunk.

Nice entry!

Got 50 kills. Graphics looks very polished, controls are a bit confusing though.

Don't know what to say what hasn't been said yet. The game seems polished all around and it's pretty fun to play around with for a while.

This was fun! Also a bit hard, and I am kinda bad at it... My highest was 2028 :sweat_smile: I kept getting trapped between zombies and chairs too. And drank beer just for the sake of the fun! The effects felt really well implemented and were cool. The whole retro feel fits nicely with the game.

I liked the fact that the character was a girl! One suggestion, in addition to endless mode, why not a stage mode where you have to blast your way out of the bar, building, block of buildings, etc, going to the beer factory and try to stop the zombie outbreak? But maybe the beer effects stacking is not feasible with this, so maybe some water in between to heal the character is needed. With this you can add more guns, like shotgun, flamethrower, machine gun, whatever comes to your imagination :)

Great work, congratulations!

A simple mechanic that fits well with the theme. I believe that by the way the game scale would be interesting over time add some modifiers that would allow the player a feeling of greater power, like other forms of attack often, to make the zombies drunk for a few seconds ... Good game.

Uma mecânica simples que se encaixa bem com o tema. Acredito que pela forma como o jogo escala seria interessante com o tempo adicionar alguns modificadores que permitissem ao jogador uma sensação de maior poder, como outras formas de ataque frequentemente, fazer com que os zumbis ficassem bebados por alguns segundos... Bom jogo. :flag_br:
