A wobbly 2D game with flying and social functions.
Play as an adult mayfly. Live your one allotted day in one slightly-longer-than-usual minute. Attend what seems to be the same party over and over again. Make first impressions.
Contains alcohol & tobacco references, and maybe a couple of so-called 'dictionary words'.
TO PLAY:
As fast as possible:
1. Check "important guests." Note what they like & don't like. Note their appearance.
2. Click on the options below to dress accordingly.
3. Click the "GO" button to attend the party.
4. Fly around the party with the arrow keys or WASD. Consume alcohol from a straw if necessary.
5. Try to get reasonably close to the guests, so they will notice your appearance. (Or, if they like it when you stand close, stand as close as you can without bumping their wings.)
6. When you have made your good impressions, head to the exit to prepare for the next party.
7. Repeat as often as possible. Time or drink will stop you soon enough.
Pro-tips:
1. If you're not running the webplayer build, you may have to exit by using the appropriate hotkey for your system. Sorry about that.
2. The crudely-drawn gifts portray the following:
(from left to right)
Gray rectangle-thing: Flask
Green round thing: Moneybag
White-ish angular things: baseball tickets (pointless)
Brown oblong: cigar
Magenta-ish angular thing: perfume bottle
Blue with brown on top thing: Cologne bottle
Additional notes:
I tried learning new things, making everything (barring what Unity provides) from scratch, sleeping 6-hour nights, and doing a normal Monday workday + commute within the time limit. Perhaps next time I will be less ambitious.
Let me know if the Windows and Linux builds work. I'll track down someone with those operating systems.
Might try to develop it further. This isn't quite what I'd originally envisioned.
