Olaf the Boozer - Dev diary #2 - Bug workHey, nice to see you again!
Finally I got a chance to provide updates that will enhance your experience from the demo version, so if you didn't try it yet - now it's a great opportinuty for it!
Most of the reported issues are related to UI, so I did my best to deal with them. To improve reading experience, I recolored UI, so now text has to be easier to read. Also I reworked the way how text is displayed: now it is written word by word instead of char by char and it is supposed to make iteasier to read.

It was difficult to see what button is focused, especially it was confusing on the level complete window. So it is where Olaf himself is going to help us nailing every answer option. Literally. Now you can see Olaf hammering the active button, I found it both cute and useful.

For users with wide screens I added limits on how wide UI can be. Also I fixed level centering, so now levels should not be hiding somewhere. Please, let me know if you think that the dialog box is still too wide.
So give this demo version a try and share your feedback!

Step into the boots of Olaf, a charming yet clumsy dwarf with a love for strong ale and wild adventures. Welcome to Olaf the Boozer. This 2D top-down puzzle game takes you on a hilariously twisted journey as Olaf tries to piece together the chaotic events of his forgotten night, one step at a time.
Gameplay
- Olaf wakes up to a disaster: broken furniture, scattered belongings, a pounding hangover, and no memory of what happened. To uncover the night's events, you must help Olaf collect "ghosts" that represent his mischief and hazy memories, retracing his steps from the previous night. As you navigate puzzles and challenges, you'll "restore" furniture and solve the mystery behind Olaf's wild escapades.
- Furniture Restoration: Walk over broken furniture to restore it. Be careful! Once restored, Olaf can't step on it again, making each move critical.
- Trail Navigation: Follow specific trails that guide Olaf's steps. Step on the last piece of the trail to be automatically guided to its end.
- Staircase Portals: Use staircases as portals to transport Olaf across different parts of the level. These portals create complex puzzles that challenge your strategic thinking.
- Victim Snake Mechanic: Collect red ghosts to reveal NPCs Olaf hit last night. These NPCs will follow Olaf in a snake-like chain, creating a dynamic obstacle that Olaf must navigate around. Collect yellow ghosts in sequence by ensuring you have the corresponding red ghost NPC in your chain.
Upcoming Features
- Alcohol Mechanics: Manage Olaf's alcohol consumption. Restore barrels to lose alcohol points and pick up vomit buckets to recover all points, adding an extra layer of strategy and resource management.
- Switches and Gates: Manipulate the environment with switches to open new paths or close off old ones, adding depth to the puzzle-solving experience.
- Engaging Plot: Follow a storyline reminiscent of "The Hangover" and "A Night to Remember" from Skyrim. What begins as a comedic search for lost memories soon uncovers a larger, more serious narrative filled with intrigue, inspired by the novel "Guards! Guards!".
- Decision-Based Progression: Your choices matter. Make decisions based on the clues you gather to impact the storyline, available levels, and endings. Experience multiple branching paths and outcomes.
