  • The music definitely set the tone. The 3D background and silhouette NPC mixed well together, but the colorful pixel-art bartender did not. I like the idea of the game. If you're going to pursue the game, I would start the bartender in some bartender training before the first patron shows up. Thanks for the fun!
  • This game has a fantastic concept, that incorporates both themes in a clever way. The game plays fairly well even though there is little to no introduction. Looking up drinks to play a game is fun. The switching between the dark and shadowy figures and backgrounds to bright very descriptive character splash arts adds some mystery while making the customers recognizable. The mixing mechanic could use some work with ideas such as a note of drinks on the wall or something, or some other form of hints on the drinks. This might remove the need for looking up drinks on the internet and trying to mix it as intended (if this is unintended). Impressive for the short development timeframe.
