Well, this is my “entry” for Ludum Dare mini hosted by JohnnyD.\u00a0 (Thanks!)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Since it’s not obvious, let me explain:\u00a0 You are a time traveler from the far future.\u00a0 Unfortunately, in the future, booze has been eliminated as an unnecessary vice from society.\u00a0 Desperate for something to wet your whistle, you use the company’s time machine to bar hop in an inconspicuous manner.<\/p>\n

So you travel back to 1925, where Prohibition is in the full swing and it’s expected to find shady characters who don’t like to share their past visiting the local secret speak-easy.\u00a0 It also makes it harder for the time cops to sniff out where you’ve been.<\/p>\n

Sadly, you have no money, only what pittance salary you can get from the Time Institute as part of your job.\u00a0 Fortunately, casual telekinetic powers are common in the future, so you can nick drinks away to soothe your frazzled nerves.<\/p>\n

tl;dr:\u00a0 Use the hand cursor and mouse button to pick up drinks with your telekinetic powers and deliver them to your table.\u00a0 Be careful, as jostling the drinks will spill alcohol.\u00a0 Don’t let your sobriety meter fill up, or it’s game over*.<\/p>\n

(*Or not, as this was never implemented.)<\/p>\n

How does the spring physics enter into the game?\u00a0 Well, when you pick up the beers, they are suspended from your floaty mental hand by a simple spring. \":)\"<\/p>\n \n
