Do you have the control and skill it takes to avoid becoming the embarrassing, drunken fool known as That Guy (or That Girl)? Your Mission: Meet your friends at the concert. The Catch: You’ve got to make it through the Dive Bar, House Party and the Street Festival levels first. Race the clock to steer your way through four mazes of obnoxious drunks and slippery situations, without getting too wasted yourself. TIP: Be on the lookout for power-ups to pick up along the way: • Coat of armor: lessens bump impact and offers drink protection • Monkey: he takes the drinks for you! • Lightning bolt: increases your speed, but decreases your accuracy Be careful…if you have one too many drinks, you’ll end up face first on the floor!
