Bar Crawler
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Bar Crawler is a 2D Local Multiplayer Fighter set in a bar where two bar mates are pitted against each other in a drunken duel. Bar Crawler is a controller game so make sure you have a gamepad and a buddy to play against. There are three game modes to choose from: Classic, Dodgeball, and Slip n' Slide. In all game modes, the players have the ability to punch other players as a stun, pick up bottles, and throw the bottles at each to deal damage; the caveat is that the player must drink before throwing the empty bottle, thus feeling the wrath of their indulgence. Classic is a best of 3 rounds where bottles spawn around the map on tables. Dodgeball is also a best of 3 rounds but instead of being able to move anywhere in the bar, players are now divided by a line of tables where the bottles spawn. Slip n' Slide is a map full of wet floor spots where players must navigate the wet debris and face the other player in another 3 round bout.
HOW TO PLAY:
For the sake of Robert Zubek's windows builds please use an Xbox One controller for our intended gamepad button layout. Otherwise here are the controller mappings:
XBOX CONTROLLER:
MOVEMENT - Left Stick
AIMING (after drinking) - Right Stick
PICK UP / INTERACT - Button South (A)
PUNCH - Button West (X)
DRINK - Button North (Y)
THROW - Right Bumper + AIM
DROP BOTTLE - Right Bumper + NO AIM
For the Mac build, you may use an XBOX controller or a PS4/PS5 or Nintendo Switch controller as well. As long as two remotes are connected, the game will run fine!
PS4/PS5/Switch:
MOVEMENT - Left Stick
AIMING (after drinking) - Right Stick
PICK UP / INTERACT - Button West (Square)
PUNCH - Button North (Triangle)
DRINK - Left Bumper (L1)
THROW - Right Trigger + AIM
DROP BOTTLE - Right Trigger + NO AIM
OBJECTS ON SCREEN:
PLAYERS: controlled by two seperate xbox gamepads; can pick up, drink, and throw spawned drinks as well as punch other player
TABLES: where bottles spawn (needed for each player to drink and deal damage by throwing empty bottles)
HEALTH BAR / DRUNKENNESS METER: each player has a health bar (denoted by color of players' cap) and a drunkenness meter below it
