Neat concept that was easy to get into. Great art and style.  I wish there was a few more mechanics to enhance the gameplay in later levels. Very Nice!

I really like the viking style of this game, especilly the design that screen gets blurred while you drink too much.

Fun little game here! I really liked the art, but I wish there was a little more to the gameplay and sound, but good job!

Great game! I loved the UI, the transitions are really nice. I thought that this was a really creative interpretation of the theme as well. Nice work!

Love your take on the theme, skal! Super fun game as well, nicely done!

Wow, this one is amazing. The viking drinking theme is something I had never seen before, and I really liked the execution. The graphics, UI and transition screen were simply outstanding, really impressive for a month. I think you should really make this a well fleshed out game after the jam, because it really has potential. I beat it with a keyboard but it was tough. Since I think it has a lot of potential, I would encourage you to work on balancing the mechanics in the early game, for example making low tolerance being way more interfering, since not investing on capacity can softlock you but tolerance is barely necessary. The other thing I would add is making battles not RNG based (or at least not that much) since I feel like the last enemies will sometimes beat you even when you are performing perfectly. Great, great work, and I know you will do great in the ratings. I followed your profile btw!

Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the game that much ! The balancing was challenging and I definitely will improve the bots by doing an overhaul of the algorithms ! The softlock part is also something I want to fix by gradualy unlocking the different types of magic through the run like Red > Green > Blue and adding a small common "volume consumed per sip" buff  to all of them each time you level up one!

Interesting ideas! Can't wait to see how your project keeps growing :)

Fun with an interesting mechanic!

this is a fun time! i think with some more time, the mechanics and enemies could have had some more depth, but what made it into the game was great. well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed it ! I wanted to add more mechanics like abilities that you could trigger during the versus but unfortunately I had to cut them to focus more on the graphics of the game. I knew that would take the most amount of time because I never produced pixel art before.

I loved the unique take on the theme! I loved the art: characters, environment and UI. The music and crowd cheering fit perfectly, too. I didn't have any technical issues playing with a PS4 controller.

Thinking about it, the game fills me with existential dread. Imagine being stuck in a village late at night, gulping down 25 liters of alcohol in one go, unable to escape anywhere... jk 馃槀

Great job! Good luck with your future projects!

Like others, I can't use the keyboard, and the mouse pointer is broken. Anyway, the game is enjoyable. I would appreciate variations in the 'time event' using other buttons

Submitted(+1)

I couldn't use the keyboard and the cursor is bugged. The game itself is very fun and engaging, the visuals, specially the transitions and effects are very good!

Really fantastic game. Give it an epic viking story and you got yourself a classic here. Great work!

The game was fun, but I got to a point where it felt impossible to continue. I tried buying potions and stuff but I couldn't get past it. But besides that the game felt really nicely polished and the main mini game felt fun.

I played with keyboard so don't take my review too serious but game had seem to have a lot of content. Its a shame you did not include keyboard. You seem to be using the new input system and that whole system was made so you can put other controllers with zero to no effort. 

I had a movement bug I don't think it is because of keyboard  since move animation was playing but again don't take it serious.

Developer

I just added Keyboard support ! I just didn't had much time after submitting the game . Thanks !

Really fun little game, using a  rhythm game as a drinking game is great. I eventually lost at Loki when I couldn't nail the small targets. The sound is fantastic, the art is delightful. Overall a really fun little game, tight scope great execution.

Tried at first with the Keyboard and mouse set up, but this was clearly made for a controller. At first it was difficult for me to understand what was going on but they make it pretty clear as the game goes on. This is a fun way to spend some time and the graphics are beautifully rendered. This is a hell of a game to make in a month.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it !!  I forgot to mention in the description that you need a controler to play it  !

Very simple, exceptionally executed game. Charming graphics, engaging audio, I really wanted to be the drunkest man in valhalla.
