Maybe in the demo
 Alas, I have no iPhone. Hopefully they'll make an Android version later on <3

Although the anime-style looks something out of Newgrounds, the actual gameplay through the use of touch features to mix drinks sounds pretty cool!
Definitely looks like something to check out.

Hahahaha I never imagined that I'd ever see Bartender the video game. Who would have thought that something written by Araki Joh would ever be turned into a video game?
But joking aside this seems kinda cool, if I had an iPhone I'd try it. |

As long as I can turn the voices off, this is an instant buy. :3

Hey guys,
I'll be around if you have any questions about the game
-- Watching the Bartender anime was part of the early research process -- Kyle's voice acting is only in narration in the prologue, act breaks, and ending -- KabaKabaFruit: You can multi-touch and shake, too Cheers-- Adam |

While this game looks interesting, I think $4.99 is a bit much, considering the recently released and similar game Bar Oasis:
-Has a story line that's more than 6 hours long, with multiple endings. -Has over 100 mixable drinks. -Only cost $0.99 I clearly can't have a real opinion until I play it, but I don't see why somebody would choose this over Bar Oasis. |

I heard about this from Joystiq (I'm at work and can't access the site) and I thought this game was made in Japan but now it turnns out this game was made in USA. I didn't know Kyle Hebert lend his voice for the game. That must be cool, I would like to see this game get a PSP Mini port. Would be nice to play this game.

I've been playing this game a bit since reading about it on TUAW. Honestly it never occurred to me to think of the game as "anime styled".
It's OK, not fantastic though, and 4.99 was far too much. Bar Oasis that Kaos999 posted about looks better although you can tell from the screen shots that the poring is nowhere near as well done as nimble strong's. |

Kaos999:
They're totally different types of games, playing the free demos would have cleared this up instantly
Nimble is fast-paced and action oriented, Bar Oasis is very slow and meditative. Nimble has multi touch and you juggle multiple orders at once, Bar is one drink at a time. Nimble has short bursts of dialogue, Bar is an entire novel. Nimble's goal is to teach you 101 about bartending, Bar's is more about delivering its own story. Realistically though drink mixing is an expensive hobby, if you really want to learn it, pay $6 and get both, heh. You can't even buy any of the drinks in a bar to taste for that much. Cheers-- Adam |

I didn't realise it was out already. Sorry for unfairly comparing the two without playing yours, then. I'll grab the free version and have a go later.
