Potential!!
With some refinements, I think this could be one of the most fun games on Newgrounds! By day 21 I had to bash Doug over 20 times to get rid of him. Spending 75% of my time beating Doug = no profits. Also by then the finger is moving so fast, I get $0 every time I pour one. Don't even want to start on how slow the player is to react when you're trying to hit Doug. That said though, the game is VERY fun, until it gets so frustrating that I need some ale LOL.
Doug killed it.
Doug demolished what would have been a fun game. The game was very fun until it got to the point where Doug pops in ever 3rd drink and takes way, way too many whacks to actually get him out. Then you have the issue where he pops in and out far, far too quickly for Karryon's stupid 1 second jump. So you end up jumping around and trying to smack the air while Doug drinks up another bottle. If you would have made Doug stay at least two seconds outside of a barrel and cut down the jump time (especially when you're hitting the same barrel as before) then I would enjoy this game. Sorry but Doug killed it.
alright.
But there should be an upgrade in the upgrade room that distracts Doug so you can get the medal past day 5.
Good
Overall, this is exactly the kind of game I have fun with. It's quick, easy, and you get some rewards from progressing.
I just have one problem, and it's of course with Doug. I think it's a great concept, but the weapon upgrades didn't really translate to later levels, as it still took a stupid amount of time to actually get him out of the ale. I'd lose a lot of ale and productivity, especially around level 23-25, regardless of how quickly I'd get him out.
The finger moved a bit fast too, but I suppose that's just me sucking. I think it would be a better idea to keep the successful tap area a constant size if you're going to increase the finger speed, instead of both increasing the speed and shortening the successful tap area.
So, yeah. Make Doug weaker and/or slower, and take a look into the tapping size.
Nice game
Pretty good game! But Doug is too tough and comes by every 2 seconds. Next game should definitely be Kill Doug *muxaxaxa*
