Step into the bustling world of "Birdie Bartender," a free, action-packed indie game where bartending becomes a pulse-pounding adventure! Created by Mike Bedsole, with groovy music from Scott Semanski, this charming HTML5 browser title casts you as Birdie, an energetic bartender bird with one mission: serve her feathered patrons with speed and style to earn that well-deserved vacation.

Birdie Bartender combines classic arcade action with whimsical storytelling, all wrapped in lovingly crafted pixel art that pays homage to retro favorites. Each shift is a fresh challenge—rows of impatient customers, complicated drink orders, and a growing sense of urgency. Sharpen your reflexes as you dash behind the bar, pouring and serving with precision. The simple yet nuanced controls (play by keyboard, controller, or even on mobile!) ensure easy access for all, while scaling difficulty rewards skill and quick thinking.

Gameplay is buttery smooth: navigate Birdie with arrow keys or WASD, pour and serve with the Alt/Z/J buttons, and watch as orders pile up.
