## In short

Fizzslide is a counter-service arcade game in a pixel-art soda bar. Move the bartender between counters, hold to pour and slide drinks to thirsty guests, then catch the empty glasses they send back.

**How to control it:** Press play and read the instructions, then click once. Press the round button at the end of a counter to move the bartender there, hold it to pour a drink and let go to slide the glass down the counter. A guest who catches it is pushed back; catch the empty glass it sends back. You have three lives. Press P to pause.

**Fizzslide** is a counter-service arcade game set in a pixel-art soda bar. You send a bartender along a row of counters, slide fizzy drinks to thirsty guests and catch the empty glasses they send back.

## How to play

1. Press **play** on the start screen and read the instructions card, then click once to begin.
2. **Move:** press the round button at the end of a counter and the bartender walks to that counter.
3. **Pour and slide:** keep holding the button until the glass fills, and the bartender slides it down the counter to the guest.
4. **Push guests back:** a guest who catches the glass is pushed back toward the door and drinks it. Each guest that reaches the door scores points.
5. **Catch the empties:** the guest slides the empty glass back. Be standing at that counter when it arrives to score points for it.
6. **Keep your lives:** a glass that slides off the end, an empty glass that hits the floor or a guest who reaches the bar each cost one of your 3 lives.

## What you see on screen

- **Start screen:** the FIZZ SLIDE title, a counter in a teal room and the bartender beside his barrel.
- **Counters:** three to five long counters, each with a barrel and a round button at the near end.
- **Score and lives panel:** at the bottom right, with three glasses for your three lives.
- **Level card:** appears between levels. A red flash across the screen shows a lost life.

## Tips

- Start pouring right away. In our test, a script that poured to each counter in turn cleared the first level in about 6 seconds in all 3 runs.
- Do not wait for guests to walk up the counter. A careful script that waited and then timed every empty glass never cleared the first level in 9 runs.
- Doing nothing loses all 3 lives in about 32 seconds, because the guests walk up to the bar.

Points come from guests that leave through the door and from empty glasses you catch.
