My first run was catastrophic. I needed to get used to the controls and the overall setting. The second run was good. Some more audio when interactiong with guests or the environment could improve this game a lot. Cute artstyle.
Fantastically engaging! I kept playing over and over again! Very cute atmosphere. I think the music takes a little longer to get going than it needs to. I actually thought the record player was broken at the beginning of the level, and later realized that the song just starts out very minimalistic before developing. The "how to play" screen is a little disorganized, as well.

Very nice take on the "One Room" theme. Really creative and fun! I got a little flustered trying to navigate through and distributing drinks to the guests because I think I had like 26 in the room at one point... Nevertheless a really cool game. Well done!

"0 guests had a family emergency" I am fine with that!

First of all: The amount of sprites is remarkable, everybody doing his own graphics will recognize the amount of work behind it!

For me this is one of my favorites - graphics, sounds, gameplay, UI and menu/ tutorial, everything is well rounded! Great job!

Well done getting a successful party! Based on the other comments, it's not an easy feat haha.

Thank you for the kind words! Our artist really appreciates it :)

Great concept! I think you could easily expand upon the idea. Also I know a tutorial in a game jam is royalty but it would be nice because it took me some time to figure out what to do but when I got the hang of it, it was really fun! 5 STARS

I love the DA ! I tried two times but I think I'm terrible at hosting a party haha x)

sammo_4gunDeveloper1 year ago

Thank you!! Curious what you mean by the 'DA'? Maybe I'm just dumb but I don't think I've heard that term before haha

ChevRubis1 year ago (1 edit) (+1)

sorry DA is the french term for "Direction artistique" which means the art direction. My bad haha

Sweet game! Love it, love it, love it! Love the little characters, and the music is super fun!

Such a powerful and immersive experience. I felt a lot of emotions playing this. I kept practicing, slowly improving my skills, learning routes, finding patterns... developing the detailed and determined discipline of a professional poppin' party planner...

AND THEN STINKING SQUIRREL AND DOOFUS DUCK TEAMED UP ON ME USING THEIR SUPER ULTRA MEGA HYPER META MULTI-COLLISION RABBIT ACCELERATOR COMBO SKILL, LAUNCHING ME ACROSS THE ROOM AND INTO THE WALL AT MACH ONE BILLION AND FIVE.

I COULDN'T FREE MYSELF FROM THE RELENTLESS CLUTCHES OF THE INANIMATE YET DEMONICAL WALL UNTIL, OVER THE COURSE OF LIKE 26 SECONDS (more like three seconds, but I was really feeling it) OF TREMENDOUS KINEMATIC SUFFERING, MY MOMENTUM DECREASED TO A MAGNITUDE I COULD OVERCOME USING MY MORTAL RABBIT LEGS.

NEVER INVITING THOSE JERKS TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY EVER AGAIN.

Ahem. Anyway, loved the game! Gonna keep trying to get some good scores...

sammo_4gunDeveloper1 year ago

Ahahaha thank you for the kind words!

Honestly, your guests are all such assholes, they don't even stop to look at you unless you're bringing them drinks ahaha. The launching thing is the definition of 'bug turned into a feature' lol, if you get too stuck between guests for too long they may just get pissed and launch you at the speed of light :D.

I hope in the end you managed to get the satisfaction of a successful party at least once! And thanks again <3

Loved the visuals! Got stuck between guests a handful of times, but otherwise it was a great little game, It was quite challenging too, a difficulty select wouldnt go a miss. though overall, i had a fun time!

Extended Execution

sammo_4gunDeveloper1 year ago

Thank you so much for that! The guests can definitely gang up on you in weird ways, but I decided it was sort of a feature - the poor rabbit gets bullied pretty bad...

The difficulty select would be great to add, I wanted to do it but I didn't have the time in the end. Thanks again for playing!!

Thank you!!

Cool Idea, though the game has some bugs. Yesterday it didn‘t work from me, today it did. It has potential, but it is quite hard to keep everyone happy.

PS: The Bug was me not being to move using wasd or arrow keys, whatsoever

Submitted

sammo_4gunDeveloper1 year ago

Oh weird, I haven't seen that bug before...

And yes the game is quite challenging, but you can get a good score if you give it a few tries :D thanks for playing!
