Friday Night

Friday Night is my homage of the 1984 arcade game “Tapper” from Midway Games. A game where you play as a lone bartender serving drinks to ever increasing patrons all while collecting empty glasses and tips.

I fell in love with this game at the local arcade and after it was removed (much to my disappointment) I thought I’d have a go at making my own version. While in development i ran into a few performance issues (that turned out to be a Unity issue) but it allowed me to develop my optimization skills by utilising object pooling as well as the profiler & memory profiler.

Watch Gameplay below or scroll down to play if you’re on mac or PC!

Please note that there is an issue with this current version of WebGL with Unity that results in some GPUs struggling to run WebGL builds on specific browsers.

If you have such an issue, please try a different browser and if that fails, feel free to download the game using the link below!

This build is only playable on a Mac or PC.
