We've all been there. Stumbling around outside a bar, unable to properly control our limbs, beset on all sides by equally wobbly lunatics swinging stools and other makeshift weapons at us.

Actually, maybe that's just me. Anyway, that's the idea behind Drunk-Fu, which is out right now on iOS and Android.

This is ridiculous thing-swinging violence, sort of like a riff on the Goat Simulator genre but with podgy men smashing each other's faces in and a much tighter play area.

I bash through the bar level, jumping and flopping around thanks to the stupid physics engine that's designed to make ball-kicking difficult.

It's a game designed for the Twitch generation, full of emergent, ridiculous moments.

And it's a lot of fun. The sort of guilty fun that you can't help but smile about. And everyone knows that smiling is good.
