This is an excellent entry! The graphics are great, the sound design is really good, it fits the theme perfectly. The guests sometimes putting on Nickelback against your will is very funny. Great work

Love the gameplay, and the graphics are beatiful as always, and that Nickelback song threw me off :sweat_smile:

Very nice game and creative idea. Somehow it almost never worked to talk with people (I was very close to them and pressed space, but nothing happened). Also, when the game ended, it said in the text it was 3 am, but the clock showed like 11:30.

It's quite stressful to keep everyone happy, but it's an interesting mechanic (although it will probably get boring after some time).

Elegant gameplay loop and extremely efficient tutorial. 30 seconds in I knew exactly what I was in for! "Generic Rock Song" simultaneously made me laugh and feel called out for my music tastes. Very well done!

This was challenging, a little repetitive, but fun ! Loved the artwork, audio and humor.

Let's be real though, you were the one putting Nickelback on, right?

Gameplay, art and sounds were amazing and fit well together.
I was really bad though at keeping the party alive and everyone kept leaving haha! T_T

Awesome work! Had a lot of fun playing this entry.

Awesome, repetitive but interesting idea. You don't have the time to check your friends moods because beer and chips disappear too fast. Nice one !

Talking to people is a bit wonky, but you never really have the time to do that anyway.

Otherwise, perfect. You guys should win in like at least three categories.

Naaaaaaaaaaahhhh, How could you do such a game in so short time! Great game, had a lot of fun, specially liked the way the player moved xD Although would be fine to have another zone to recharge, the bottom party zone was really far away u.u

Great job with the game :D

Cool game! I love how you can play Nickelback music XD Some of the interaction with objects/NPCs wasn't perfect, but there's a lot that works great in this! I can see how it can be expanded upon by having more things to keep track of(make sure there are games for people to play like darts, beer pong, or Smash or something.) I do feel like guests lose interest way too fast and bail but it makes the game difficult at least.

Hi, here is some feedback,

:thumbsup: What I liked:
✱ art: pixels and music are top and fit the mood
✱ The letter main screen
✱ The mood
✱ The balance/challenge: I played twice, got a better score the second time but didn't beat the game. I felt I could win with more training.

:muscle: What imo could be improved:
✱ Playing with gamepad, the interaction zone would benefit from being a bit more generous. I sometimes struggled with precisous where I'd have prefer focusing on management
✱ The activity is pretty repetitive, the small nickelback event is fun but barely enough to create enough variety

:sparkles: Overall
✱ Good game! Had fun playing it, the realisation is very good and it feels good. Thanks for the game!

Great game and cool concept!

Very stressful, but feels like at a real party :) It's hard to keep track of where stuff runs out and there's really no time talking to all guests. But I guess, that's the way it is meant to be! I enjoyed every second of it, even though I seem to be a bad party giver lol!
