Game about tavern brawling, your customers use furniture as weapons. But you spend your money on it! Maybe you can turn their aggression into gold in your pockets?

Serve beer to customers until you decide, that the fight must begin. And then just watch.

Stage 1: place furniture. Benches and chairs can be placed only near the tables. RMB or Space to rotate
Stage 2: serve your customers by moving mouse above the order. Every miss fills tension bar at left. When it tops - the fight begins.

UPD: Fixed game crashing in fight

Great game! Nice graphics, multiple stages of gameplay. Really like it :) Probably you can try to make an android or ios version.

...but looks like it hangs during fight

Hi, the game doesn't seem to load on itch.io. Just letting you know.

merzlotauthor22 Apr 2015, 10:06

Thanks for feedback! Fixed some crashes. WebGL build is large and a bit laggy, so we uploaded other versions on dropbox.

Love the music !! A tutorial or more in-game explanations would have been useful.

merzlotauthor22 Apr 2015, 10:15

celisoft, thanks! I'll try to explain the gameplay in description

jhell22 Apr 2015, 10:24

Good idea, excellent execution. I like how you articulated the phases, the post-fight one is especially good, clear and rewarding. Too bad there isn't a progression element and a clear goal. Lots of fun though :)

And nice music!

merzlotauthor22 Apr 2015, 10:35

jhell, thanks! :) And thanks to ISG =)

haha this was genuinely fun. I now have arm cramp. Good job!

MFEP22 Apr 2015, 11:07

Really enjoyed playing, concept is great, literally burst out of laughter. Graphics are good. You could introduce unlockable items, if you develop further.

PurpleApes22 Apr 2015, 11:43

can not stop playing. Well done.

SuperKid23 Apr 2015, 10:47

I started to move my mouse to the beat of the music! Nice job.

Jaenis24 Apr 2015, 09:29

Such a thirsty bunch! Great idea! :D

TeamCalcium24 Apr 2015, 09:32

Fun game! I couldnt fullly get the grip around what to do, and the game crashed after the bodys startet disappearing, but it has fun animations and appealing graphics! well done!

merzlotauthor24 Apr 2015, 09:36

Thanks for comments! :)

Backlund24 Apr 2015, 10:37

Nice game

TDogAndNateDizzleProductions24 Apr 2015, 10:45

Oddly satisfying, sound tracks fits really well and lots of detail in the animation, good work.

pixzleone24 Apr 2015, 10:47

Super fun to fill the whole pub, wait and let them kick the crap out of each other! Good effort!

Addictive and really well presented. It's fun to try to cause the biggest brawl possible and then watch the survivors wade through the wreckage. I like how the bartender sets this off by cutting off the booze and then just stands there washing the bar.

dyfer24 Apr 2015, 12:07

Really addictive game! Good job with this great concept, i feel kinda thirsty now ^^

Shivur25 Apr 2015, 15:37

What a great entry!

merzlotauthor25 Apr 2015, 15:43

English isn't my native language, so I can't express my emotions well. =) It's our first 3d entry, my third participation in LD. It was very fun to work on that game, the idea was inspirational. And now I am overjoyed by your comments. =)

Chaoseed25 Apr 2015, 15:50

This is kind of hilarious! The title alone is genius. I like how there's an actual flow to the gameplay. The music is perfect too! The one thing that's missing is some sense of...building up to something, or maybe another level. Perhaps you want enough money to get out of the bartending business permanently? I dunno, but I think there are some interesting possibilities here!

CliffracerX25 Apr 2015, 15:53

Barfight Simulator 2015. It's amazing.

I spent more time playing this than I would like to admit :P
The audio felt a bit loud, a volume adjustment option in the pause menu would be nice. Other than that, great work!

merzlotauthor25 Apr 2015, 16:01

Thanks for feedback!:) Too much features we had not enough time to implement. :(

davidB25 Apr 2015, 16:06

Fun ! Great music, nice control (no need to click for beer)

someone25 Apr 2015, 17:32

That was fun. Great idea.
I played it until it crashed after about 7 stages when a fight was starting.

Zeriver26 Apr 2015, 15:14

Funny and cool game. I especially like humor and mood. I enjoyed placing furniture so later i can just watch the chaos :)

GAFBlizzard30 Apr 2015, 05:24

Super well done. I wasn't sure if the 3:00 counter in the top middle meant -- placeholder for now?

This is already very polished, and you could probably make it into a commercial game pretty easily. Add some goals / levels so you don't just do the same thing every day. Maybe have different customer breakdowns on certain nights. Throw some other race types into the mix. Add more furniture types which get unlocked as the player keeps playing. Lots of room for expansion! :)

GAFBlizzard30 Apr 2015, 05:26

Also, thank you for not making me click for beer! Just moving mouse is very nice. :)

Stending30 Apr 2015, 20:04

Haha, awesome take on the theme! Really fun!

Aaranos30 Apr 2015, 23:59

Fun game, I'm not even sure how to lose though to be honest.

orangemoose7 May 2015, 04:09

Very silly game and inventive take on the theme. It was pretty challenging, and I think it could have benefited from some in-game instructions, but otherwise, well done.
