I couldn't quite figure out how to finish the game, I kept getting arrested :( I had a great time though, the artwork, sound and the silly physics made it a really hilarious experience :)

Very funny! Even in real life, getting home from a bar is not as difficult as in this game.

Thanks for the positive feedback!
@chikentear @duskel We handcrafted the graphics and then scanned them. It was a lot of work, but also fun.

@tommo120 You should stop hitting the people :D - at the end of the street is the house of Rodrigues. It's a long way, so maybe it's not a good idea to kick everybody in the bar ;) When you're outside you sometimes have to kick stuff around, otherwise you can't get through.

Very funny game! Impressed with how the player movement really nailed being unstable, well done! The art was super charming, from the controls screen all the way till the ending. I was bummed that there seemed to maybe be some uninteded graphical bugs in the web player aspect ratio, but other than that, super nice to look at. It was fun listening to the audio cycle through the different lines, and I reallllly loved the track that plays when you're walking down the street.

My biggest wish is that it was clearer what made the cops arrive and cause a game over! I had to read @helen 's reply above to figure that out, which made the experience a lot better! (I had been arrested 4 times before checking that out.) Great work!

PS: art so good!

I loooove the character designs and the backgrounds, very nice artstyle! :D The game really made me laugh. After the third try I did it. Great and above all an old familiar feeling to come home after a night at the bar.
I was just asking myself, why are these barking sounds occur so often?

had a good laugh playing this! most of us have been there, i guess. Nice take on the theme and nice graphics, too. Really a complete little game!

incredibly charming. I loved the voices. i wondered if there was a way to reduce the police meter, because it seemed like i had to kick some things blocking my way but it was going to call the police, so i got stuck.

Nice game, its always cool to see hand drawn (physically) graphics.

Really lovely graphics and super fun voice lines! The controls were a bit fiddly but that's probably just realistic for the level of drunkenness. Also quite an odd choice of controls, any particular reason?

@sibi Thank you. The reason for the unstable movement is drunkenness. You can drink Coffee to make control more responsive. We chose the "action" keys based on the words. "k" for "kick", "p" for "pöbeln"(german word for riot while drunk, yeah, we have something like this) and "o" for drinking (it is easy to press, when your fingers already are on k and p, and ones mouth makes an "O" when drinking, hehe).

@bamberga Thank You. There is no way to reduce the police meter. You are right, we should not force a player to lose, what is basically health, during gameplay without a way to replenish it. I think this one is ok, because the game is not that long. Sorry for that.

Sometimes there is no way around a bad thing when you're drunk XD

Nice teamwork! Every single component was really elaborated! The idea is quite original and the graphics so good! At first, it was hard to find the right key to do stuff but one can get accustomed quite easily I think :)

A super unique art style and voice acting! Figuring out how to stumble my way through the world was a lot of fun, although the street level really did run on for long. Great job here!

Though I didn't really get the point of kicking and screaming. You can push almost through everything just by pressing move button. Kicking and screaming only attracts police. The controls are nasty as you planned :D

But voiceover is hilarious guys :D thanks, good job and good luck!
