Really fun game to play. Animations were smooth and the graphics were good making it a good game overall.

very polished. the throwing of darts to go to the next text is ingenious.

just some ideas but you polish it even more if the beer drinking sound cue was more clear. you could even have flickering lights to mimic a tavern bar. So many ways you could about it.

damn well done

Awesome idea. Love having to time the shots once the board starts really moving.

Nice simulation of the concept of drinking and playing darts at the same time. The game is simple but well done. GJ

Very cool idea! I love that the game gets difficult quickly. I really dislike games where you have to drag yourself through two minutes of super easy gameplay before it gets difficult. I do how ever think a simple music track would help a lot with the mood. All in all a job well done! :)

Well done ! First time I found a dart video game interesting ! I just would make one change : do not reset aiming precision after bull eye.

A simple concept and fun little game. Too me the game get too difficult to fast, but it not a big problem. Overall a fine LD game.

@mrnyarlathotep **HOLY COW...** Thank you for bringing that to my attention. The source was already pushed to my Github, I had just forgotten to add a link to it here! Sorry about that.

As I did not read the description, When I understood the mechanics I was like WOW That is cool!

@reality-blind In case you want to give it another go, you throw darts at the dartboard area marked by the number displayed around the wheel. What I wasn't super clear about is that the bullseye is part of the sequence and you can't hit it on every turn. That seemed to be a miscommunication on my part. Let me know if that clears things up!

Simple, solid idea. Well executed. The tutorial said something about scoring a bullseye giving you another dart, but that didn't seem to work. Also, the mouse probably should've been hidden. Overall very cool, though!

Easy to pick up and fun to play
Fun arcade gameplay, I enjoyed it even though the spinning bright colored dart board was a little dazing.

Great execution, and fits very well with the theme!
