Woooo that music is bumping. Really creative idea to make a social-anxiety speedrun game. Brought a smile to my face, one of the most fun games in the jam I've played.
Altho it is a pretty fun and charming game, the UI gets so wavy at a point that I have to stop.
I would like a setting to tune that waviness down.
Tho I like how you code that shader. Is it from godotshaders?
Thank you very much! You're quite right, I didn't really consider the waviness as an accessibility point and I will definitely add an option to reduce/disable it when I update the game. The shader is from godot shaders! Can be found at https://godotshaders.com/shader/screen-warping/. Thank you so much for the feedback!
Fun and relatable! I wish every party I went to had a dog to recharge my social battery.
I think having the tasks be different minigames instead of mashing a single key add a bit more variety. But overall it was an enjoyable experience with a lot of charm. Nice work!
Incredible well made game. You have my respect.
I would have just called this party simulator at this point great job very realistic lol I also loved the art and the sounds and music
Concerningly relatable depiction of what I do at parties. I'm glad I'm not alone in how I feel ahaha
Amazing job on the game - it was super polished from the visual to the music, diagloue and quirky missions. So much fun!!
Yesss! I love this so much. I had wondered about doing a charging the social battery thing too, so very glad to see that someone else did it and did it sooo well.
I will say though, it is something when a game helps reaffirm how socially awkward you are :joy:
Despite having confirmation of the truth, this is such a well put together game, the art, the music, the effects to drive home that you’re drunk at a party looking to pat a dog. :chef-kiss: well done!
The way you interpreted the charging theme was awesome, it made for a super funny and adorable game! :D
Figuring out how to respond when people approached you was a bit confusing at first, but honestly, that confusion ended up being part of the charm.
And than stupid me noticed the little dots, lol... :D
+100 points for making the player slower when stepping on puke xD
Congrats on your first entry! <3
Very fun game, and very aesthetically pleasing :) Failed to notice I have some tasks to do on the run via apartment to pet the dog, but managed it on the second try. It was... strangely familiar :D I had fun :)
Good game! A bit repetitive after some time but it was fun!
Very fun and very relatable game! This is such a great concept for a speedrunning game, it's a really good use of the jam theme. I loved the details like the word effects for each task, the conversation challenges, the lighting, the screen effects when the social battery was getting low. The music is a bop. And of course, the dog is very cute. My goal at any party is to pet the party dog. Great work on this, it's a very impressive project!
Concerningly relatable, well done
this was a lot of fun! Art was super charming and the levels were really nicely decorated! Really great job :)
This game was brilliant, loved all the mini challenges dotted throughout the levels and especially enjoyed the draining dialogue from the npc's
Great submission!
Thank you so much!
very fun and although the first few runs of level 1 trying to finish all 3 tasks were a bit rough, it was a nice challenge to 100% the game
I'm so glad you enjoyed it enough to 100% it! Really appreciate you playing <3
sitsitsitsitsitsitsit raidraidraidraidraid browsebrowsebrowse... I am a pro lol. Nice work, funny and cute game! The vague questions and answer options were an amazing simulation of social anxiety too
Really fun game :D 5/5
omg is this a tom cardy reference
DING DING DING! I was literally listening to Party Dog the entire time I was developing this. The poster asset in the game is supposed to be the 'Pope of Patting Party Dog' haha
incredible, loved the game. I played through the tutorial and 7 of the levels, and really enjoyed how quickly you got feedback, though it would be cool to get a live tracker for whatever medal you currently are receiving (so starting off with gold, and then as the timer ticks up, you show the user that they are now in silver or bronze or no medal territory). Loved the graphics and the tom cardy-ness of it all
Great game, I can relate with this irl 😭
Love the art, super polished for a game jam game. Great job making it! :)
Thank you so much for the feedback! I think a lot of us can relate!
i do like the game, but the movement is really confusing. heyy, can you try out my game aswell? https://noobieprogrammer.itch.io/the-anticharger
Hey, glad you liked it, sorry to hear you found the movement confusing :O anything in particular that got you stuck? I'd love to know so I can improve it. I will absolutely try your game out as well :)
