This was a very well executed game! I had fun playing, I like the art style too, reminds me of a retro mixed with pixel art

Never has a game made me detest someone as much as I now hate this man

It was much fun. Especially listening to the dialogue.

It also gives me a reminder: Always remember where you park the car when going to a bar.

It was fun dragging him around and yelling at him, although I never found my car. Still had a good time, though!

Green shirt guy is a better friend than I would be. Sit in your shitty pants, I don't care. Great idea for a game though, hilarious and aggravating in equal measures. Not knowing where I parked my car made me feel a bit like I was also drunk.

I really liked the audio work here! Great voice acting for a game jam :grin:

Here's a speedrun, maybe WR?

Man the voice lines in this are so good. I ended up playing through it a few times because like, in the gif in the comment above me, I figured out you could just endlessly re-grab your friend. Works very well when playing it the proper way too, though I find the Z button is a bit unresponsive? When I tried it the first few presses it didn't seem to do anything at all (cause I think he was already following me at that time) So I didn't know to rely on it when he ran off and did his own thing. Maybe an additional voice line that's like "All right come on we're nearly there" would be good for that situation. All in all, a very fun take on escort missions!

@shugor @quillwerth Yeah, hahah, we discovered that exploit pretty soon after submitting. We're tinkering with ideas on making the grapple less easy to do while keeping the fun factor. As for yelling sometimes not working, there's a 50% or 33% chance Drunk won't listen, depending on what he's doing! Making Player say something even if Drunk is already following is a good idea, think we'll try that! Thanks for the feedback~
