Don't Worry, I'll Bring The Beer!

Download here
Direct link, in case you don't like itch.io

A short and simple point-and-click adventure made for itch.io LOWREZJAM 2017. It's a bit lacking in story and puzzles, since I mainly wanted to experiment with really low-resolution graphics and animations, but there's some weird symbolism and odd situations here and there. Hopefully it will bring a few minutes of fun.

Sure, it's probably a bit too half-assed and unfinished for a public release, but I'll PM it to you.

Congrats on the release Hobo.

Nice game, Hobo! I love all the little animations you've put into the scenes, they make them feel alive. So many details in so few pixels!
And for such a short game, there's so much attentions to the menus too. Unfortunately, adventure games rarely have the option to change the player's speed these days, so it was good to have it here.

It was a really short, but really nice game!

Thanks Cassie and lorenzo.

Yeah, it's a feature I would've appreciated in multiple AGS games over the years myself and it's certainly going to be added to all my future games, no matter how short or long they are.

Nice one. Don't worry, I longplayed it

Hobo · « **Reply #8 on:** 19 Aug 2017, 19:33 »

That's awesome, selmiak. Thanks for the playthrough.

What a fun little game. Great upbeat music. I'm impressed with how much atmosphere has been created with so few pixels.

Hobo · « **Reply #10 on:** 21 Aug 2017, 12:27 »

Thanks, Two Tales. I was actually surprised by the amount of screen space I had at this resolution, I was expecting it to be much more limiting. Only things I really didn't have any room for were longer conversations and a proper dialogue system.

The results for the itch.io LOWREZJAM 2017 are in and I'm very happy to announce that out of 235 games submitted "Don't Worry, I'll Bring The Beer!" was ranked 10th overall and 4th in graphics!

selmiak · « **Reply #12 on:** 24 Aug 2017, 00:45 »

yay, congrats Hobo, that's quite impressive!

Congrats Hobo! I loved this little gem, hope to see you do more lowrez games

Hobo · « **Reply #14 on:** 24 Aug 2017, 13:21 »

Thanks, selmiak and josiah1221! It certainly exceeded my expectations, I guess people still enjoy point-and-clicks.

Depends what you consider lowres

Unless it's for another gamejam, I doubt I'll make another 64x64 game, but since I can only draw pixel art, then according to modern standards all my future projects will certainly be pretty much lowrez.

I thought the low-res graphics worked to the advantage of the surreal narrative. A simple design, well executed, that generated plenty of intrigue to carry the story. Well worth a download!

Nice animations!
I saw the video, cool idea.

KiraHaraReturns · « **Reply #17 on:** 09 Dec 2017, 09:32 »

admirable graphics, I like the minimalistic usage of pixels and nice soundtrack anyway

eri0o · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 Dec 2017, 17:42 »

This looks so good! :O I love this! Just followed you in itch.io!

Hobo · « **Reply #19 on:** 29 Dec 2017, 15:49 »

I guess I'm a bit late with responding, but it's nice to see a bump in plays and comments for this one. Thanks to everyone, who either tried it or watched the playthrough and all kinds of feedback is of course always welcome.
