Really strange game! It was funny.
Nice puzzle game. The drinks were maybe hard to get right, but the other were nice puzzles.
The idea is really funny and the pixel art is beautiful. For sure a good work !
Very fun idea and great art! I like it a lot and is a great interpretation of the theme.
Neat premise and pretty intuitive gameplay! I was a little confused when I saw that I got 4/5 seating placements correct. Are some guests OK with more than one option?
Great pixel art too btw! Kudos to your team <3
Very original, I like it !
Really enjoyed this, I got rank B! The art is really nice, indeed what a strange dinner party this will be. Lovely concept!
I wanted a way to go back and fix the mistakes I made! At first I was SO sure that there wasn't enough information to work out seating, drink, and cutlery... but I ended up really close. I loved the artwork for each character too, plus the music really set the scene. Nice!
Very solid game! Everything works great, very cozy with the jazz in the background. Great idea for the game, works with the theme.
The guy who needed gas was my favorite :D nice entry, well fitting for the theme.
I loved this game, and I love it when I get to choose the music! Although music doesn't have a real gameplay impact, that detail gave me the vibe that I'm preparing a fancy dinner, and I need to get everything right, even the music! Overall, a simple and well-executed game, very polished, and an extremely enjoyable experience. Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed the art style! All of the characters really pop with the brief descriptions of their tastes. I had a great time playing this.
Strange but fun, I didn't really know else what to do after seating them and there's no retry button but, other than that its pretty good. Very original
This game taught me that I am a terrible dinner host haha. Lovely sprite work and your characters are very expressive. I would have liked a restart button, or at least a retry button, when the game is done so you can try again without reloading the game.
Thanks for playing, and your feedback! There's now a retry button :)
Now if you don't mind me, I have a few more tracks to unlock in Athero!
We couldn't figure out Suzie, hopefully she just figures it out without our help lol.
Really cool idea! Had a fun time with it
Ahhh! We toyed with a similar idea when we were brainstorming but chose a different concept... glad you guys made it! Very nicely done, and I absolutely LOVE how characterful everyone is, and the art is great! Well done!
