Dude this must have been so much fun to bring together!
The comedic tone and texts had me laughing really set the tone of a house party (Help me move the sofa out! :D) and the juice you added works so well, the camera shake and lighting really gave the feeling the party was jumping as guests poured in.
The level of polish on this shows you either worked incredibly hard, or you're a seasoned jammer!
I think I got lucky with the number of monsters, I only seemed to get 1 or 2 but really from a jam perspective it paced really well as I got to engage in all the features. A few people say they struggled to know what was going on(?) but it I think it eased in really nicely - you really feel the chaos building which is what you want from a resource management game. This has great potential I hope you'll continue it - has real escapists vibes.
