The bar
Lani
A fiery ponytail fading from orange to yellow, a hawaiian shirt and a wink always ready. She is the one who greets you, and the first Girl you meet in the club.
Play Lani free
Pop the blocks,
reveal the girl.
A casual portrait puzzle you play with one finger, in the browser or on your phone.
01 The game
Seven Girls, one mosaic to clear
Under every level there is a picture of a Girl, hidden by a mosaic of colored blocks. Tap the toy at the head of a column to send it to the counter: from there it shoots balls of its color that run along the edge and pop every block they can reach. Each pop uncovers a little more of the picture.
The heart of the game is the order of your moves. Fill the counter with toys that have nothing left to hit and the level is lost. Clear the way first, then uncover the middle.
02 What is inside
Small moves, big reveal
-
01Pop the blocks
Toys only shoot the blocks of their color that touch the empty space outside. Send the right one to the counter, watch the balls run along the edge, and the picture comes out bit by bit. The table is in perspective, with round blocks that look like a pile you can almost grab.
-
02Seven Girls, seven places
Lani at the bar, Ana in the dressing room, Mirei in the VIP room, Marea in the jacuzzi, Bea on stage, Tess in the locker room and Zara in the back alley. Each one has her own place, personality and toys, and a chibi at the edge of the table who comments on your game in speech bubbles.
-
03Three Layers, one Star each
Every Girl has two levels, and every level has three Layers to win, one Star per Layer. A Girl's first Star opens the next one, so you can move on without finishing everything. Complete her Scene and an Event of four illustrations is yours.
-
04A table for every place
Every place has its own table: the wood of the bar, the bulbs of the dressing room, the red velvet of the VIP room, the water of the jacuzzi. The toys are drawn like cheeky stickers: cherries, feathers, candles, bottles and more.
-
05Little tricks
In Level 2 the Reserve is covered: the toys behind the first one are face down and flip only when they reach the front. Empty columns disappear so the board stays readable. Pinch, drag and double-tap to zoom on the picture, and find every illustration you unlocked in the Gallery.
03 The Girls
Choose your Girl
Four Girls are in the free demo, three more in the full version on Patreon. Pick one to meet her.
The dressing room
Ana
Platinum blonde with pink tips, a corset, white stockings with bows and a mirror full of bulbs. The house diva: she grew up behind the counter of the family pastry shop, and now she does everyone's make-up and knows all their secrets.
Play Ana free
The VIP room
Mirei
A gothic maid with very long black hair, a frilly apron and magenta eyes. She serves the VIP tables and keeps a little notebook with the names of whoever makes her jealous. Polite smile, and then you see.
Play Mirei free
The jacuzzi
Marea
A translucent blue slime girl with round glasses and a cheerful smile, washed in by a storm surge and hired because nobody can say no to her. All water and curves.
Play Marea free
The stage
Bea
Tall, athletic, two space buns with electric blue streaks and silver boots. A former gymnast who found the pole while healing an ankle and never came down. Nobody beats her up there.
Play Bea on Patreon
The locker room
Tess
Dark green undercut, an orange jumpsuit half unzipped, a spiked collar and the look of someone who is bored. Sarcastic on the outside, grateful underneath. She pretends not to notice.
Play Tess on Patreon
The back alley
Zara
A motorcycle helmet with cat ears, silver hair, a yellow racing jacket and claw gloves. She brings the champagne crates on night deliveries. She shows up, looks at you, rides off.
Play Zara on Patreon04 Coming soon
Who is next?
Sixteen more Girls work at the club and are waiting for their own Scene. A new one arrives every month, and the members on Patreon vote for who comes first.
-
Dalia 30
Glam diva
Keeps the club's books by day and takes the stage at night with her glasses still on. A former backing singer with a voice that hushes the room.
-
Ayla 27
Black wings and gold
A model who never took off the feathered wings from a fashion shoot: she swears they are hers now. Pouty, spoiled, generous once it passes.
-
Greta 27
Coffee and panic
A former barista who spilled a cappuccino on the area manager. Anxious, funny, always in a hurry, and the warmest of all once the panic is over.
-
Kira 25
Parlour vampire
Says she is three hundred years old; her ID says twenty-five. Works the night shift, flirts with a crooked smile, then hides behind a giggle.
-
Corvina 28
Alley witch
Reads tarot in the alley behind the club and talked her way inside. Sly and mysterious, she plays with people like she plays with cards.
-
Bibi 24
Gamer pup
A fighting-game pro with black dog ears and white headphones round her neck. Waits tables in a maid apron and challenges guests to arm wrestling.
-
Suki 23
Shy streamer
A gamer so shy she never shows her face on stream. A lost bet brought her to the club, where she found out she likes being looked at.
-
Vera 26
Night goth
The club DJ after midnight. Black lipstick, bright red hair: the first thing you see when the lights go down. Cold in public, devoted when she likes you.
-
Pepper 24
Pepper cat
Pink cat ears and tail, hyperactive and mischievous. Used to host birthday parties until the place closed; now she brings the fun, and a few scratches.
-
Noa 29
Night shadow
A former stuntwoman from B-movie action films, now on security in the private rooms. Nobody sees her coming, and the mask stays on until you earn it.
-
Rin 24
Bickering roommates
Shares a studio flat with Momo since university. Touchy, fussy, points her finger and raises her voice, and blushes in a second.
-
Momo 24
Bickering roommates
The other half of Rin's flat: lazier, cheekier, steals Rin's clothes. Their double act is the most requested show on Thursdays.
-
Neve 26
Snow cat
Came down from a mountain village with a suitcase and a swimsuit. White cat ears and tail, and a habit of looking at you over her shoulder.
-
Vex 28
Punk goth
A former metal guitarist. Scares the new guests and protects the new girls; the silver cross round her neck was her grandmother's.
-
Viola 24
Goth e-girl
Streams horror games to a small, loyal audience and works at the club to pay for a new PC. Playful, competitive, sends finger hearts to anyone looking.
-
Nyx 27
Little demon
Introduces herself as a demon on probation: little horns, fangs and a grin with the tongue out. The queen of the theme nights.
A new Girl every month.
Each one with her own place, two levels, three Layers per level, an Event and a chibi who comments on your game. The members on Patreon choose who comes next.

Is the demo free?
Yes. The demo is free on itch.io with four Girls and eight levels, and you can leave an optional donation if you liked it.

What is in the full version?
All seven Girls, open from day one in any order, and each new Girl as soon as she is ready. It comes with the VIP tier on Patreon.
How often do new Girls arrive?
A new Girl every month, each with her Scene, two levels, three Layers per level and an Event. With 300 € a month on Patreon it becomes one every two weeks.

How are the illustrations made?
The illustrations and chibis of the Girls were generated with generative AI tools (a text-to-image generator), then picked, cut out and turned into mosaics by me. Music and sound effects are by human authors, released under CC0.
Who are the Girls?
Every character is original and fictional, made for the club. Any resemblance to real people is coincidental.
I found a bug, or I have an idea.
