NIMBLE STRONG: BARTENDER IN TRAINING is the premier iPhone game for grown-ups and is the culmination of two years of collaboration between some of the top names in bartending, anime/manga, and video games.
Features:
> Fast-paced, unrelenting game play that keeps you engaged and entertained through four distinct acts
> Learn how to mix over 70 of the most popular and influential cocktails ever devised - PERFECT for hosting a party, impressing friends/family, or getting your foot in the door at an exciting new career
> 15 hyper stylized, manga-inspired characters animated in a bold and original art style that fuses Japanese manga quirkiness with Eastern Europe edge
> Final Fantasy-esque music created by Michael Huang, award-winning composer of over 70+ commercial video games
> Loaded with the same content you'd learn from a $300+ bartending 101 course(!), in many ways playing Nimble is BETTER than such a course (more hands-on time, higher quality instruction, better replay...)

> Great replay value with SURVIVAL and RECIPE BOOK modes as well as over 15 unique endings
> A dark and mature three hour long neo-noir storyline with multiple dialogue branches and plot twists
> Co-written and fully audited by Jeffery Lindenmuth, one of the nation's top cocktail journalists

> Developed by Joshua DeBonis, one of the top game developers in New York City and a game design lecturer at the Parsons School
> Full creator-level support on any and all questions (through our website)
> Deeply inspired by such games as HOTEL DUSK, COOKING MAMA, PHOENIX WRIGHT, TRAUMA CENTER, and PROFESSOR LAYTON
> Starring LEGENDARY anime and video game voice actor Kyle Hebert, voice of Ryu from Street Fighter 4, voice of Kiba from Naruto, Kamina from Gurren Lagaan, and Aizen from Bleach

I replay it over and over again.

Make another one, please. And please update this version to 64-bit if you can! It seems like this may stop working in the next iOS! I would pay for that! Update: I am so glad this has been updated so I can use it once again on my iPhone. I’m now running iOS 12.
Horrible don’t recommend getting it

I’m sorry but when I make a drink USING the recipe book the I never move on to the next person it just tells me to look at the recipe literally it was a screwdriver and I used Vodka,orange juice, and ice and it said to look at the recipe ?
Great Little Game
Scribblessd
Awesome customer support. Fun little game that makes learning all of the drinks very fun. Even let’s you get creative sometimes. Really love the setup.
App keeps glitching up
DamasterD3
Devolepoers need to fix the fact that the app glitches up, it won't even start sometimes. PLEASE FIX IT otherwise it is a great game
Good but too short

Just beat the Story Mode under 2 hours. For $5, it should take between 4-5 hours to beat to give me satisfaction. The time limit is kind of far fetched. Or at least make it a little more lenient. Or better yet, put in difficulty modes with three different time limits. Another cool feature would be to able to pour multiple drinks with each finger (i.e. assign a base to each finger to make multiple drinks just like in real life). I like the story, dialogue, and gameplay. The selection of drinks could be a bit better. Please make a sequel in a couple of months with a blender and more actions like straining, making shots, making bombs (Irish Car Bomb, please), mixing energy drinks, and lighting the tops of the drinks on fire (where the user can blow them out by blowing into the mic). Also, the pictures aren't that great but they sorta work.
Teaches speed & timing well

As a long time chef in hotels, I watched good bartenders handle busy nights with amazement. They could crank out tray fulls of varied drink orders for pickup, and also carry on chatter with their own customers at the bar as they did it. Playing this game gives you more than good "what-goes-in-this-drink?" info, but a real sense of the production side of bartending. Quick thinking, organization, and attention to detail can be practiced in the relaxed story mode or the OMG survival game. Career switch anyone?
