Game description
Ever woke up after a legendary night out with absolutely no memory of what happened? Well, meet Olaf - a dwarf who's taking "booze-induced blackout" to a whole new level.
Think "The Hangover" meets classic puzzle adventure games in this journey through the consequences of one dwarf's epic pub crawl.
Theme interpretation
We made a plot around mystery of the forgotten evening and morning's consequences

A very fun puzzle game (Even managed to learn to get a golden beer on stage 2) with humor that's very similar to my own. People around him may be sick of him, but I love Olaf the oaf. Also dwarves are great. The artwork is very charming. It must have been a nightmare to collect all the sounds for the different things you can fix. I noticed you have an option for adding buttons to the screen, maybe as some sort of mobile gaming lead in, and that's a great idea. After playing for about 30 minutes though I wish you had a button to turn off his hiccups though haha. Thanks for the game!
Great game!!! I like the art and music, also the puzzles are quite challenging! Well done :)
with a tutorial for the barrel movement or at least controlls description on the itch page this could be such a great game, but after I got stuck at multiple levels it bace a bit frustrating to play. but the art style is amazing, the dialogue system as well, it's great to have multiple options and directions to go and play.
Hi! Thank you for feedback! I added a note to the game's description
Navigation - arrow buttons (also you can turn on on-screen buttons is settings)
Hint: Olaf will pull barrel or crate if he's standing on empty tile. To stop pulling you need to change direction. Red silhouette of a barrel/crate marks a place where object of that type should be placed.
would it be less frustrating for you with ability to cancel last step?
it works for me now with the description, thanks for that! defo makes the game more enjoyable!
Was pleasantly surprised at this game's quality. I definitely got stuck in the cellar level, i was so close so many times but the barrels move unexpectedly. It took me a while to figure out how they worked and even then I would be surprised when they move. Maybe some sort of indicator that Olaf is connected to/will pull a barrel would make things a little easier. Overall a very good game! The style is awesome and the clear progression is great, the dialogue was short but detailed, a nice balance.
Thank you! At first I designed that puzzle from cellar for the first level in tavern, but with chairs. Then I decided that using chairs for that might be even more confusing, so I left only barrels and boxes, and put one barrel into kitchen as a tutorial.
