haha this one was fun! I like how you just don't explain the beer mechanic to people so I'm assuming most would do like I did and just click all the beers when they play the first time. But yeah the movement is not bad, it could use something to make keeping momentum feel better but I'm not sure what, I don't have any experience with 2d platformers. One little issue I had was when I hit a wall, when trying to jump over the wall the character would not move laterally, so I'd have to backup then jump. But no biggie, good job man!

Curling into a ball while the world spins feels likes the most accurate representation of drunkenness in a video game.

Wonderful character design and artwork.

There were some really good ideas here. I always love momentum based platforming -- this entry's physics could have used a bit more polish, but it's always super fun to roll down a hill and gain momentum and pull off the perfect stage. I personally could have done without the spinning level... or at least if the level spinning was going to be a thing, I wish it effected gameplay somehow instead of making me sick.

The roll felt pretty good, but the normal platforming felt pretty rough. Even if you want players to commit to jumps, it would be nice if I could jump up a single step without a running start to get some momentum going. The game also struggles because I need to memorize levels as I do them to get momentum... if I could see the whole level and plan out my route that would be pretty cool.

This game is so funny.

Drank all the beer for the first level, proceeded to try to beat it while the screen was rotating violently and I was trying not to puke the entire time. Eventually I suceeded but at what cost...

10/10 game very serious.

Developer

Fun movement, but I do wish you kept some of the momentum after leaving ball mode.

Really like the main menu illustration, although I do wish the levels were a bit more visually distinctive

Developer

TY for playing the game. 

I can certaintly see the need to make the levels more visually distinctive. That way  it should also be easier to remember the "best line" on each level.
