I made 365 points after the second run !

The cons:

Gameplay feel really repetitive after one minut, all different alcohol does change anything in gameplay
Blue color choice between water and the blue alcohol is very similar its hard to know which one i have to put in my glass
A bit buggy sometimes (to empty glases i grabed it on the garbage can but nothing happend, i understood after some time that you have to stay on the garbage can to empty it, also some customers doesnt take their glasses when i serve them correct ones and doesnt leave)
Does not understand what serves some interactive element (the sponge for example)
Impossible to read your nam on the credit menu :( too much pixels kill readability

The pros:

Good musics and nice choice of SFX (The NOICE when the people are satisfied is really funi love such meme integration in game jams when it make sense hahaha )
Theme and special object implementation are well done in the gameplay it make fully sense
Funny principle of customers destroying you alcohol bottles haha

Anyway, congratulations for the game you have been able to made, continue on this way and improve yourself !

Thank you for your very precise feedback ! It is very valuable ! :)
Let me answer to each of them:

The gameplay is indeed a bit repetitive once you start to master how to play, we tried our best to add some features that would make it less repetitive but we could have added more twists to the game !
Clients will actually never order water so you can just assume that it is only the blue alcohol. You only need to serve water to dizzy customers
This is a thing that I didn't think about, it is that people would try to give the drinks to the bubble and not the person. If you release the glass while not being on a person, the glass will be thrown away, that's why it fills like they didn't take their glasses. For the trash, you are right that it would have been better to just be able to release the glass and it would empty itself directly.
For the sponge, if you fill a glass too much, it will be spilled on the bar and then you need to clean the stain as quick as possible with the sponge because you lose points every second otherwise.
Sad for the credit menu, we should have put more pixels lol

Thanks for the message and have a great continuation !
