You are the last employee in a bar in a nondescript location and you have to man the store by yourself until your shift ends. The problem is time seems to be a standstill in the last hour of your shift. Customers who have already come and gone keep coming back for more while seemingly not remembering anything that happened previously. How long can you survive in the brutal cycle of alcohol and late night depression?
Fight off customers as they storm your bar over and over in a seemingly endless cycle, certain patrons need different drinks so be sure to pay attention to the drink they requesting. Customers will get frustrated with you if you hand them the wrong thing or if you wait to long so be sure to keep an eye on both of those things. The game runs on a three strike system, perhaps a pickle loving crustacean could help you with that?

Once I'd checked out the help, this was actually very fun! The graphics were awful but awesome at the same time, and the music and sfx added that je ne sais quoi. The difficultly could have ramped up a bit quicker I think, and perhaps more items that didn't use a beer mug - but it was fun while it lasted. Nice job!
The tutorial also took quite a bit, at one points I thought I had to click to continue but this just cancelled the entire tutorial. Maybe make this quick and clickable so that people can go back to it when they want.
I loved the characters and art, was very nice!
