Serve Intergalactic Drinks

Make sci-fi drinks from a variety of ingredients. Use the glossary to guide you through the process until you know the recipes. Start with a base alcohol and add ingredients such as berries, eggs, and spice. Blend, shake, or stir them together in the multi-machine. Some drinks will need garnishes. Serve the drink in a timely manner. 

Meet New Aliens

A variety of patrons will enter the bar. Certain species will prefer certain drinks. Some of them will want to talk and could give rewards. Some species are less patient than others. The Red Shift is a popular place, so you will have many regular visitors. 

Check IDs

Different species have different drinking ages. Be sure to check for counterfeit IDs. Some will be stolen, expired, or simply under their limit. 

Stay Afloat

Depending on how well you do, you will be paid at the end of the day to manage your rent. Failure to pay will result in termination. 

IMPORTANT
