LOL as an introverted nerd I totally get the concept and idea behind this game !!!

Great job, I really liked the aestethics of the game, really clean and simple but good looking game. Very polished for a 48 hour jam as well so kudos on that.

My only feedback would be to lower a bit the difficulty ramping or explain a bit clear how the mechanics work, i was stuck for a while on the 4th level with the creeps and didnt understood why I was dying as soon as I touched them then I read the top dialogue and finally understood.

Fixing simple details like that would greatly improve the overal experience.

Great job.

I hope you have some time to play and review my game, its a very quick puzzle based game too. Love to hear your thoughts on it.

Really incredible (and relatable) theme that connects perfectly to the jam theme. The pounding lights and music felt heavy and realistic to the scenario. Loved the robo-dialogue bits and the narrative, though I was sad to miss some bits because they were tied to movement and I couldn't read fast enough before my panic meter got too high. Really clever and polished. Great work!

Love the idea, I don't get hit on by creepy strangers, but the anxiety of loosing your friends in big party/festival is relatable.

I think you did a great job with the presentation, it is really simple, but creates the right atmosphere.
My only problem is that the angle sometimes made it harder to notice free tiles between people.

The puzzles were nice too. :)

Some great great puzzles! Not a big fan of the atmosphere, but it definitely works as intended :P. Very well done!

I love the atmosphere, the robotic dialogue and the situation this game implies is just hilarious! There's also some good puzzle design here. Great work!

Wow this was just brilliant. You captured a fantastic theme that was super relatable and suits the jam perfectly. You introduced mechanics at a good pace, and the difficulty always felt nicely on curve. The music was minimal and perfect for this game - evocative of the theme, slightly anxious but calm enough to not get in the way of puzzle solving. Easy full points for me

Thank you, glad to hear you had such a great experience with it!

What an interesting way to talk about a very relatable experience! There weren't too many levels either, so the concept didn't overstay its welcome. Other than some improved art assets, I can't think of a way to make this game better, honestly. The subtle story-telling at the top of the screen and the way that the mechanics of the game supported that narrative just came together really nicely. Great job!

Couldn't finish it because it kept reminding me of my own anxious experiences at parties, but I did love the visuals and the puzzle design. Great game!

Developer

This was a really good puzzle game. I enjoyed the idea of it and it's nice to see people putting different spins on the theme. It looks great and sounds great. I did get a bit confused about how to control the characters because I managed to miss the instructions at the bottom. I found the puzzles simple to understand and enjoyable to figure out. Well done.

Really loved this one. The minimalist presentation worked really well and framing the mechanics being introduced as new people was a nice touch. Loved the voices as well. Great job.

Nice puzzle game where you can't separate your characters for too long, lest you get, well, panic at the disco. Also liked that the setting genuenly felt uncomfortable to be in.

Damn, this game really deserves its name!

Really efficient mechanics and immersion.

I like to be anguished by this disco escape!

Challenging puzzle game! I included it in my GMTK compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Great game! Fun and original concept, it was really fun and easy to grasp. Well use of the link together concept with the mechanics and story. 5/5!

I really like the way this game tells a story through its mechanics.  The dialogue at the start of each level was a nice way to both tell the narrative and explain mechanics.  There was a good variety of obstacle types, and the game never felt stale while I was playing it.  The art and music are pretty simple, but they do a good job of conveying the important information to the player.  The one issue I noticed is that the angle makes it hard to see in some of the denser levels, so having a higher view might help with clarity there.  Overall, really well done!

Thank you, appreciating the feedbeck! I’m glad you had an overall great experience with it!
