01 / THE SERVICE LOOP

Two taps. A lot can go wrong.

A simple control scheme, tuned for the satisfying panic of a real arcade cabinet.

Pick a lane

Watch the bars and tap the lane where the next customer needs you. Read the glyphs before you react.

Serve on time

Tap again to slide a frosty mug down the bar. Serve early for bonuses, but never pour for a Grumpy.

Catch the return

Move into position and catch the empty before it drops. Tips ride back with it. Misses cost a life.

02 / CAREER MODE

Start at the tap.
End at terminal velocity.

An eight-stage campaign that teaches the whole vocabulary of the bar, then asks you to use it under pressure.

Endless mode

[CRT]

Pure terminal style

ASCII art, phosphor green, scanlines, and optional CRT themes. The whole game feels like a cabinet you found in a back room.
