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 :)
