STORY

The eleves are hitting the green after a long day of political and philosophical debate.

CONTROLS

Arrow keys to move, F to hover.

FOR MAC USERS

Phaser depend on requestAnimationFrame to control the game's update loop. This fires way more often than 60 times per second — because Chrome ties it to the monitor’s refresh rate. This means the game runs way faster than designed if using Chrome-based browsers on Mac. So please use Safari or Firefox if playing on a Mac.

Nice little game! Very difficult though but great fun! Love the nice goofy art

Loved the art, it took me a moment to realise the premise! Game is really tricky, but in a way that lends itself to "just one more go..."

I love the vibes and sound in this one. I was watching the ball roll out and transition. Didn't realize it was gameplay and died. After that, it was on. Finally started hitting the beers and getting deeper. Only got to 200. Hard to see where you're going. Great Job!

I love it. The graphics and the sound effects make me happy.
I had a hard time figuring out that you can only drink if you stand still, I feel this could be taught in some way.
Small rocks can spawn under beers and ruin your highscore worthy run. Please draw the rocks on top if you end up revisiting this one.

A little hard to play because my keyboard doesn't have arrow keys, and I had to hold a fn key to access them. Fun theme though.

No WASD movement, no sound. Otherwise cute skifree-like dropper game.

The idea is very surreal and funny, I like it. Quite difficult and not much variety but still fun to play. I had about 20 goes of it and my highest score was about 1600.

concept is very humorous and gameplay is clear, fits the theme
failed most of the times pretty quickly, but once gotten to 2400 and happy with that

Lol, that got a smile on my face when I started and realized what was going on. Simple, but nice, good stuff

Good job! I had fun - reminded me of flash games I used to play.

Would like to know highest scores >:)

That was a bit difficult to play but funny, I like the flapping the character does to slow down and also the hit effect is funny. The controls feel responsive, just the falling is a bit too fast

I'm obsessed with the twinkle noise when you hover. Didn't realize until a few runs in that you need to go straight down with the ale to keep drinking it but once I understood I think this is a really good one more run kind of game.

Simple concept, but it works due to the risk vs reward of saving the meter or holding it down longer to get to a safer place.

Got one killer run down to 9250!

Good work everybody!

Well, that was fun! Quick paced, simple mechanics, tricky to do well, but rewarding when you just barely catch yourself before certain doom to get one more drink in. I liked the art, the gameplay, the audio--really a solid little game. Highest I got was 3690. Great work!

I think—just my humble opinion, really, just my personal take—that it’s a little hard for me. 😅

omg the twinkly sound when you're hovering :laughing: :laughing: this isn't really my kind of game but I love the polish, the simple gameplay loop, and the absolutely ridiculous premise. Great job.

Quite a fun game, but for me also quite hard 😀
