How does the game fit the theme?
You have to ensure that nothing goes wrong while hosting a party. We chose this setting because when you're a hosting an important event, you are anxious hoping that nothing goes wrong.

The ironic thing is, things WILL go wrong, to make the game challenging, but it is the player's (host's) wish to prevent it.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The font is: Pixelify Sans.
Everything else was done from scratch ourselves.

Love the art style and great take on the theme! We had similar game concepts! I learned a lot programming the different tasks to keep track of, hope you did too! Good work

I manage to survive at the hell of a party more than 5 minutes! Nice approach to the race-against time management games, pretty art and awesome, that you made voice acting! Great job to the team!

Fun little game, it had just the right amount of things to do without feeling too overwhelming, I felt like I could keep pace with the issues, knowing eventually it'd be too much haha, I lasted 1:55. Nice job on this!

I liked the pixel art and the voice FX hahah, managing a party must be stressful.

I survived for 2 minutes and one second. Most fun I've had on any party so far :D

Just could't figure out how to rewind the vinyl player, but I made sure the balloons were always inflated! :D 

Fun game, well executed :) Good job.

there should be a slider on the base of the vinyl player you can move around to rewind it. 2 minutes is a good time without rewinding the music.

No wonder she broke up with me.

What a party. I enjoyed it :D  Music was catchy and I really liked the gameplay mechanics :)

Game very similar to mine but easier and more appealing in my opinion. Your game its better than mine having the same idea, congratulations guys!♥

It was a fun game to play! Once learned the mechanics, it was fun to balance everything.  I enjoyed the audio in the game a lot.

The audio of my little guy panicking helped with gauging how well I was doing since I hardly looked at the actual health bar.  Pretty hectic, as you can never really reset the party to full satisfaction once it gets going. Goo djob!

Nice! Very hectic. I like the voice acting a lot. Art is cool as well. Good work.

the audio was pretty funny overall. kinda hard with some of the collision boxes. Maybe some more better way to indicate how close to failing you are would help. funny game.

That was a very fun and stressful game haha! I enjoyed playing it and seeing how long I could keep the party going! One thing I would recommend is to maybe change the pacing a little bit. There were a lot of times where nothing would happen for a few seconds and then everything would break all at once. Other than that, you did a great job!

Nice game, my highest score was almost 6 minutes (I was about to go insane), it's simple, but I had fun playing it :)

This is amazing. More people need to play and rate this game. It's so simple yet so fun. The voiceovers had me laughing out loud. "My father was right about me." Really well done!
