How does the game fit the theme?
In No Big Deal Bar, everything is constantly going wrong—bullets are flying, cowboys are falling, and beer bottles threaten to tip over at any moment.
But in No Big Deal Bar, nothing can go wrong...as long as you, a waiter, keep everything in the bar balanced and serve customers well!
Even when trouble is everywhere, all we need to do is to keep going. Nothing matters, it's no big deal, and nothing can go wrong...Right..?

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I had a lot of fun playing, the art style and gameplay was super engaging and I had a ton of fun. Congrats on the game! :)

Submitted

This game is really fun! You've really nailed the arcade game vibe! The game mechanics are really well designed and the difficulty felt perfect. I'd love playing this on an actual arcade machine. The art is very cute and the environment feels very alive. The game fits the theme quite well. Good job!

Submitted

Good game! I love the cowboy theme.

Music, art and animation are at a good level, it's nice to play.

Submitted

Pretty and easy to understand. But for me the sound was too loud, it would be great to have sound settings ;)

Submitted

Nice idea! I liked that the movement was linked to the balance, so you have to make decisions.

The visuals are also very cute, you really feel like you're in a lively saloon with all of the animations. I had fun, well done, 93's my best!

Submitted

Loved the twist of the balance mechanic. Sometimes, I was intentionally missing a few thirsty cowboys just so I could keep my balance for the next ones. The pace, music, and overall chaotic atmosphere brought me back to Master System games, can't really explain why. Nice work!

Submitted

Cool game.

I love like you are kind of "just passing" in saloon that is living it's own life. Things are happening around you, but you don't have really time to bother about them, because you have a job that needs to be done. The atmosphere is awesome.

Audiovisuals are great (although a little bit loud) and the ballance mechanics has something into it.

Great job!

Submitted

First off, the game concept and pixel art design are simply great!

I found the balance mechanic a bit confusing at first—it would be great if it could be more intuitive and easier to grasp (for example, using WASD for movement and the arrow keys for balancing).

Nice work!!

Submitted

Nice Game!

I love the art. Its really nice and polished. I loved the funny nature of the game with the character falling/bellyflopping in a puddle of beer.

Submitted

I love this art

Submitted

There indeed was no big deal inside the bar.  Except the audio which blasted my eardrums. Nice  game!

Developer

Developer

Thank you. In our no big deal bar, people could die but the beer could not spill.

Submitted

Loved the pixel art visuals!

So happy that you enjoy it!

Submitted

Looks gorgeous, sounds great, and has a nice, cohesive atmosphere. The mechanic is straight-forward, but I had a hard time with the controls and I kept getting stuck on obstacles. My best was only 44. So I think that could use some polish, but otherwise great entry!

The obstacles are very annoying. We kinda make it stackable for players to adjust the balance bar. Yea, we should polish the concept a little bit more. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Fun twist and use of the balancing mechanic! I got 96!

Developer(+1)
