What a Beach by tinykidtoo

[raw]
made by tinykidtoo for Ludum Dare 49 (COMPO)

Welcome to this beautiful island. It is time for the annual drunken foot race. So grab a beer and get to running. Just don't get caught up in the inevitable drunken brawls that break out.

If you're fast enough, you might even win the even. It is considered a great honor, but everyone has fun either way.

Please tell me this is an actual thing, if so, where can I go see it :laughing:

@slimmerburger unfortunately it is fictional as far as I know, I made up the backstory after I came up with the drunken walking mechanics.

@tinykidtoo Aw that sucks, really cool idea though and it's a really unique take on the theme

Meter seems a little sensitive or my character was just really hammered. Great concept and game regardless.

@paroxysmal I think the meter is a bit too sensitive, made some last-minute tweaks I now very much regret. Guess the character is just a light weight.

Took a while to figure it out, but overall pretty good :)

Really fun take on the theme. I agree with the other comments here that it's just a bit too sensitive, but it's still fun.

The graphics/sound/music are awesome!

Really quite fun. Really happy you put in a tutorial otherwise I would never have finished the race.

This game is so fun to play lol I really admire how you designed this sticky movement control, and I sometimes wanna do the rage quit for those AIs are doing way better than me. But that's how the theme goes, and you did that well. Nice job!

Great take on the theme. Unfortunately the character is a bit too drunk.

Haha I love the push mechanic. Take that you other drunks! Overall I really really like the combination of mechanics, music and graphics. It just makes for a fun experience that I enjoyed playing :)

Extra challenge mode: play this game while actually drunk to simulate double drunkenness.

@nick-rafalski Just watch out these guys hold a grudge. I am glad you enjoyed playing, thank you.

@flying-dog-fish Sorry about that, made some last minute tweaks, right before uploading. I have to learn the lesson never balance your game without feedback.

Very nice and chill take on the theme. Congrats on managing to do pretty graphics, AI, and drunk physics in time. Watching AIs fall into water and failing to walk through the finish line is quite funny. I can only watch them though as being the 2nd worst is the best I can do in this game.

Awesome game that works really well with the theme. The difficulty is really up there though!

The drunk mechanic was good but I found the race difficulty very hard, always last. Music fit the island theme nicely and I like the built in tutorial to get to the race.

Maybe this game is a bit too hard, but I liked the twist on the theme and overall atmosphere of this game. Feels very refreshing in general this LD.

I deffinitly cannot relate to this game in any way shape or form, especially because I am not 21, but now I know what it is like to be under the influence and how often I can fall over, unique game!

Nailed the atmosphere with those graphics and music! Also a nice take on the theme!

Spot on with the theme. The graphics and music fit perfectly. My only critique would be to make the movement slightly easier to control as the race was pretty difficult. Maybe consider adding easier races to boost the player's confidence and familiarity with the controls?
