You stand on the front lines of the city's clandestine nightlife circuit.

Every correct pour banks tips; every mistake costs you a spill.

The 5 In-Game Boosters & Tactical Tools
Equip and deploy tactical boosters to protect your tips and turn chaotic rushes into clean runs:
Effect: Survive one Spill. The round keeps going.
Sits armed under the glass. When you flip an accidental Spill, the Coaster absorbs the hit and shatters, saving your unbanked score so you carry on.
Effect: Reveals one tile that is definitely safe.
Uses the deduction engine to locate and turn over one tile mathematically proven 100% safe. If nothing on the board is provably safe, it refuses and saves your charge.
Effect: Re-rolls one ice cube into the colour you need.
Changes an ice cube on the board into the exact color your current drink ticket requires (Blue, Lime, or Cherry), turning a difficult corner into free tips.
Effect: +30 seconds on a Last Call level.
Adds +30 seconds to the clock on intense timed Last Call levels when the ticking countdown is the only thing beating you.
Effect: Sobers up a smudged hint back to exact numbers.
Wipes coffee-stain rings and grease smudges from obscured row/column hint tabs, restoring full mathematical clarity.
