🧪 Dopamine Rush! - "Legal" Drug Cooking Simulator

Serve drinks, mix "legal" drugs, and don't get caught!

After playing a few times, you’ll start to figure out which ingredients add what to the drinks.

Once you figure that out (which will likely happen by your third or fourth playthrough), you'll be able  to satisfy all 15 people.

🥛 What's This?

Welcome to your dark, smoky hideout. You have one day to satisfy the local underground regulars and make as much dirty cash as possible.

In this hyper-fast, minimalistic puzzle-simulation game made in 24 hours for Contraband Jam, you play as an underground chemist operating a sketchy back-alley bar. Your task? Mix contraband "completely restricted" ingredients to synthesize the perfect mind-altering drops for your cyber-psychotic customers.

But beware... They don't give you exact numbers. They'll demand their fix with unhinged, cryptic poetry. You must rely on your pure intuition and experimentation to adjust the hidden parameters (Upper, Downer, and Toxin). If you give them the perfect blend, you'll walk away filthy rich. If you mess up, they'll rage, spit, and you'll get busted by the cops!

🔮 FEATURES

High-Octane Cyberpunk Vibe: A stylized z-sorted bar counter viewport that puts you right inside the shady underground operation.

Reactive Shot Glass: Watch your mixture dynamically shift colors based on your ingredients. Upper turns it Red, Downer turns it Blue, and pure Toxin turns it a deadly glowing Green!

Fast & Snappy Arcade Controls: Synthesize everything from your home-row keys. Feel the arcade-like flow of a high-speed cooking game mixed with deduction elements.

15-Turn Score Attack: Survive 15 visits from 5 unique, chaotic recurring customers. Maximize your underground earnings and keep your street reputation from hitting absolute zero!

Very nice! It didn't take me long to figure out what to do. I got all 15 customers on my second play through! I can't wait for when a "Professional Reacts" video comes out about this one. Sound design was also cool.
