"And while i walked into the void, my bottle was my only friend."

You made a game with a great touch, i could totally see a whole story in this kind of mood, the music was well chosen, and go fine with the art.

Sooo... You just need to clean up a little and have a proper end, add a tiny story (find the bottle, speak with the men...) and you would have a totally awesome game !

Thanks Redunca, ah yes I totally agree. Dialogues with characters and a small story would definitely make a huge difference for a proper game. :)

( Hey I also added a web playable for those mac users. )

Nice sketch! Gorgeous style, esp. love square the particles from the end of the cigars and the choice of music.

Suggest if you expand this to simplify the controls; the FPS ones here feel like a barrier between the simple actions I wanted to do (search for glasses and fill them with the correct timing) and my ability to do them.

I could also see this working great as a multiplayer experience- who can get the most commission? It might even be worth thinking about other perspectives that could help make controls and navigation easier (isometric? Top down?) Def keep the humour and style though- you're nailing it here!

Thanks Chris, oh I see. What do you think should you enter an minigame instead? I feel I would still like to keep the player in the crowd that he would get the feeling to actually talking to the characters face to face when there would be the a time to add such features.

Oh man haha, maybe I'm not the best network programmer to create such a game for actual players hahaha. Dude I would have wanted to make more crazy features to a direction they had in Jazzpunk which I consider a good source for inspiration to this jam game also. :D

Love the graphics though I am not sure if I was playing it right. I included it in part 4 of my MiniLD #56 compilation video series, if you want to check it out :) http://youtu.be/kDNAHSpF6Gc

I love the art style, the idea, and the atmosphere. I also think you should expand on this.

I personally liked that it's first person, BUT the camera turn sensitivity was huge for some reason (not sure if it's just for me), and I found the walking speed way too fast for the setting. These two things, plus the pointless jump ability made me feel out of place a bit. Really, I had to be extra careful just to walk normally and not run around like a crazy person.

Not sure why does the game keep restarting randomly? It just puts me back to the start position after a while, no matter what I do.
Also it would be polite to add a way to quit the game :)

I think I may have got several types of lung cancer, because this game was awesome :D

The graphics were amazing! (Aside from the "I am toilet" placeholder, but I can definitely understand time constraints :P) The puzzle was a really interesting one, and I like how it got more and more difficult to avoid the cigarette as he got more and more drunk. Some sort of feedback that you have made a mistake in pouring whiskey on the cigarette other than restarting would be helpful. Perhaps an "x" pixtogram falshing over the flame when you touch it, then restart? I feel like you could expand this into a really nice adventure game. Miles Davis is always an excellent choice for music, and was a perfect fit in this setting. Well done! :)
