You definetly hit the theme.
But the conversation system was a bit strange, since you could go around in circles for quite some time.
I think that part could need some adjustments so that you don't have to go through it over and over again if you made a wrong choice.
Anyways, keep up the good work.

The drunk effects started to give me a headache (probably as intended). Pretty funny over-all. I only went through once, were there multiple endings, or just the one?

Interesting game :) I liked the drunk effect. The transition could have been smoother from a bit drunk to pretty much wasted.

I played on my Twitch channel - fun to voice act as I went along. Good humor.. I agree with Mr. MadCat - the loop was a bit much after a while.. I think some music or more background noise would have helped with my amusement but overall funny idea and I liked it. :-)

Was really fun, I had a blast when I get beat up after all those trials.
Love it.

An original take on the theme, but i got into a weird situation:

I think i had too many drinks... :|

On a more serious note, the game is fun to play but it was weird after a while because they were the same dialogue options.

Nice game, especially the art. The drunk mechanic and the dialogue were fun, but not sure I understood the ending.

Thanks for the comments! Apologies for the repeating dialogue system, we were out of time to finish all the features. The intention was, to have more 'difficult and challenging' dialogue options at the start, however when you and the lady have 'more drinks' things pick up a lot faster... previously 'failed attempts' would have new dialogue options. Obviously at the drunken state when everything is a blur you don't think before you speak (based on actual user experience).
There is only 1 ending (supposed to have more ><) but multiple ways to approach.

Nice little twist at the end. ;) The game hit the theme well, the graphics were nice and the drunk effect was pretty cool. It wasn't very easy to control the amount of consumed alcohol (I once had the chance to fake drinking), but I think was part of the charm. If there one thing I'd improve, then it would be the dialogue tree. There were pretty many clearly black and white choices to make and the conversation would easily circle. Anyway, it was a good effort, when takinh the time frame into account.

The writing was amusing; I cherished digressions like "In the mountains at high altitude, that's where I see myself in 5 years".
Nice work.

I was going to give up after few tries, turning around the same conversation, and then, the conversation changed, and I made it to the (good?) end. It was fun to find the good amount of alcohol, and trying to stay almost clear to not play wrong, the mix between to kind of games is a good idea. But the end is unfair, because we are supposed to not be drunken at start, and so, to know the real face of the girl :P

Hey I played this on stream! It was great fun

I liked the incorporation of the drink mechanic where you can have too much as to make the UI goes funky making it hard to distinguish what decision I'm making :wink:

Something that I thought was weird was how she was still there even though I triggered my gag reflex vomiting and called her boring - It would have been great having multiple girls and having the twist of finishing with the most attractive girl in the room is actually.. well :wink:

For added features if you take this post-jam would be focusing on the multiple endings - I felt I had to beat up the boyfriend to win - Maybe puking in front of a girl would make her shoo away but having an amount of alcohol in your system effects your confidence etc and it's management getting her to like you enough without puking and your favourite girl getting disgusted and leaving!

Otherwise, it was great fun and the twist was really funny! :yum:
