Some omnipresent, persistent drinking music would have completed the ambiance. I was a little confused originally where the beer was being placed because the size of the “avatar holding the beer” looked like it was going to go to the tile to the left. But was so surprised when you could hold two glasses at once! Also, the increase in difficulty was really well done, and speaking as a former bartender - I feel like not much has changed in the centuries since :) Well done!

\nMy first go I ended up killing everyone and having the place burned down ooops!

\nOther than that, this game is fun!\nI wish I could murder some of my patrons with that sword though :P

Frantic, and I got more hooked than I initially expected. I like how the area opens up, which makes it more difficult but how can also put out the fires and repair the tables. Well done!

(Perhaps I had already played to many other games that day.) But now, that I have played all the games, and recall them, this is one of the games I remember best. Even though it’s not “impressive”, it actually has everything a good game must have, and by now I think that if I’d create a list of my favourite games of this year, this game would be on it.

\nLooked ok, sounded ok, played great. I did get overwhelmed pretty quickly, I think one level after the fires started, but I had fun doing it.

Very polished and complete game which feels really good. There is not much which could be changed to improve it. The main thing I would improve is to add some music. I think some fast and nerve wrecking medival music would really fit here and add a lot to the atmoshpere. MAybe also some tavern background noise would be cool. I also like the art a lot with one exception: It would be really cool if the guests would have been in the same art style and not just stick figures.\nThese are just a few minor things I noticed. Besides that, this is a very cool entry! Congrats.

\nHello! Thanks for your submission to js13k!\nI’m sure you’ve worked hard on your game, but I’m not aware of how much time you spent on it, so excuse me if things I mention were in your mind, but got left out in the rush of the month or just because you hit the 13kb limit :)
\nThe game becomes quite hectic after a while. Pretty fun though. Got me thinking of Tapper on the C64, even though they are not really that similar. Since the movement was grid based I found it a bit dizzying when moving back and forth between the barrels and the nearby tables.
