Super novel idea that works well with the theme! I do think the balance felt a bit off while playing and that attributed to me having a little less fun but overall I still enjoyed my time. I feel like it would have been better to either have a LOT more spray, or less enemies as having both a limit and the amount was rather hard to manage right off the get-go. Also, the sound when (I think?) the item spawn wasnt super helpful since it was hard to locate on the map, maybe a visual effect or a better contrast could help it feel like its appearing instead of the frequent wobbly noise. Still, I'm very happy with my time spent here :)

Developer

this is super helpful feedback thank you!

Corralling the customers into the shop was definitely a challenge, but a fun one! I liked managing the water resource and the tension between keeping customers in the bar while staying topped up on blue berries. I couldn't figure out what the red berries were for but I can imagine that with more berries come more corralling mechanics which I would have loved to see. Great job!

This is an interesting idea! It took me a minute to understand that I only need to shoot customers once to turn them around, I thought I needed to shoot at them constantly to push them in but then of course I burned all my spritzer immediately lol

I feel like I didn't understand the red berries, like I spent money on red but I don't think I ended up with any more spritzer?

Overall I think it was really difficult, especially because most of the customers I did turn around just bumped into another customer immediately. It's such an overwhelming number of people you feel like you're barely having an effect, and at the end of the day there's no way I can save up enough for the hypnosis potion because the price of paying to keep my reputation up is so steep.

I did like the music though and the idea was funny, I thought it was cute I got to name the bar. Good job doing all of this solo!

Nice! Music and SFX blend in really nicely in my opinion, I only wish I could spray those intoxicated people a bit more before running out of water at the start

Nice, I like the upgrade system

Nice little game, but it's rather hard playing on a laptop with the touchpad :D But it runs smooth and it's a cool idea. Adding some more upgrades to the game in the future will really level it up a step, but great work so far!

Developer

thanks for the feedback i will definitely take touchpad users into consideration next time!

Having to enter the bars name and it actually showing on the billboard was such a nice touch

Developer

I would have loved some upgrades to the sprayer, one so I could really hose them all down and get them back. I do have to wonder how much more successful this  bar would be I would just stay behind the counter ;). Great game!

Developer

hahaha i actually wanted to add a hose upgrade but ran out of time. thanks for the feedback!

fun game, and you managed to tie all the wildcards in quite nicely :) 

and its a cool idea, I could see this expanding with lots of different upgrades/different ways to keep the customers in the bar! well done
