Very fun and polished game! Love how you have to keep the bar balanced by throwing bodies, and how the upgrades are drinks that have random positives and negatives! Lots of enemy variety too! My only complaint is that the drinks that buff/nerf weight don't seem to have much effect during gameplay (and regen buffs/nerfs also don't do much too), and therefore the tipping of the bar isn't that big of a concern while playing. Feature suggestions include a bigger, heavier enemy variety that has a ground pound attack to mess with the weight even more, throwable objects doing damage when thrown, objects in the bar to add weight and throw at enemies or out the window (maybe you could even buy more?), and different specials that you can buy (like imagine one where you throw a heavy bomb? Or one where you throw an enemy distracting ragdoll?)

(Voted yesterday!)

Extremely polished, fun action and I do love a good upgrade system.

Don't let the icon fools you, this game it's really cool... Ok, if you are reading this, you already know this. But if you don't this game it's really cool. Has a lot of charm and solid gameplay.

Fun Game! I think the concept is the highlight and it is backed up by great gameplay! Everything looks great as well. I liked having to worry about where enemies died and I really liked throwing them out the window! Unfortunately, I didn't find you really had to worry about the weight distribution much and I made it to the 10th round so I think that could be tuned a bit. I wasn't a fan of the background voices but the music was great. Keep it up!

Cute graphix! Nice sense of style and flash overall. One of the better entries in the jam!

Great job, it's fit the theme perfectly. It's fun to play and quite profound (with the balancing mechanic and the continuous shooting, clever the time slow when you throw the enemies) if you can go on with the waves. Definetley a solid fundation for something bigger!

Well done!

Very great game overall! Cute charming art/sfx. I love the mechanics of the game and the shop thing at the end of each wave! Great Job!!

That was quite fun! The throwing mechanic was especially satisfying. The graphics are quite polished, too.

My only complaint is that the voices in the background seemed a tiny bit louder than the other sounds.

Fantastic! Great work!

Everything about this is awesome! Seriously super polished in every aspect. Would love to see it as a full game! Well done man.

Reminded me a bit of "BalanCity" but your "Kepp it straigt" is more action based.
Would be nice if some npcs would be sitting arround the tables for more atmosphere because the sound is suggesting that there are people having fun in the bar. It would also add fun if the throwable enemies would have an damage impact. Or other npcs would throw them to the player, would be more chaotic to hold the bar stabilized.

Overall you made a very solid title, good job.
Nice greetings. :)

This is an all in one game. Guns, melee combat, upgrades and tough enemies. The fact that it all takes place in a bar while people are having drinks is just the icing on the cake and the cake is not a lie. Keep it straight is literary what this game is. Dodging bottles being thrown, drunk Vikings trying to hit you with axes to tough guys with guns, all while trying to keep the place from falling apart. Best part about this is robbing the baddies, taking their money and getting those upgrades. The pixel art is absolutely epic and simple. I would highly recommend this game. Defiantly in my top 10. Would love to see a commercial release.

Great gameplay! I liked how you can throw the poor guys out the windows for better stability.

I hope you win.

Nice game!
