Really original game design! I think for me, the biggest controls problem was not having it be clearer that "right-click to move" meant that wherever I right-clicked was where people would go not that I had to right click after selecting them and  drag them over mii style haha but otherwise a fun nightclub management game! (Also lol the music was hilarious but the "PAUSE" when you pause the game was even better :D)

yay thank you :) that would have been fun to drag them ! you got a good idea haha

this game was so fun! I loved the premise and I tried like 5 different times (and failed, everyone left my lame party lol). I agree with the other comments about clarity because I could not figure out which colors were which. also, the music is sick.

Yo I am very glad you liked it and I can't agree more with you and the other comments about clarity. Thank you very much for your report

This is a really original game, was fun to play. Feedback would be towards clarity, having to memorize the 3 colors for the areas, and what does it means every state a person have may be confusing at first. I would like to have them represented as icons above their heads, so it's easier to tell. The color shifting on top of the sprites may be really hard for colorblind people. In that regard, magenta and orange are really close together in the color wheel, changing them to be red-blue-green or cyan-magenta-yellow would prevent this.
Anyways, I'm not colorblind, wanted to comment that just as a recomendation. You did an awesome job.

Yo thank you very much for your comment. You got a really really good point on this. You are so cleaver. Actually my dad is colorblind and I didn't even think about this. You are totally right about clarity. Your feedback is really useful thank you very much.

Haha, loved the music, started giggling in the middle of it when "don't leave, don't die"(?) turned up. Wish I had a better way of knowing what was going on with the people,  didn't quite get how to check their needs vs giving drinks. But yeah, fun idea!

Yo, thank you for your feedback. I updated the game page to give more informations on the game for the future players. I am now very conscient that my game wasn't not clear at all for a stranger mind. This is the problem with dev a game alone you think that everybody will understand your game easely with a little tutorial but NO. haha I need to progress on this side of dev too I guess.
Have a nice day

And I m so glad you found the music funny :)

The music was pretty fun. Very experimental, I love it. It was tough keeping track of stats, maybe having different appearances for the different characters would help? And maybe displaying 3 character stats at a time would be nice too. I think this could be expanded into something great, this is an amazing proof of concept! 3/5!

Developer

Thank you that's helpful. Obviously you are right. Again it's a question of time, doing all alone in a week is pretty short. I hope you had a great time despite of the lack of informations :) It will not be updated, but I think that was a fun experiment :)

Got 1605 as a highscore! Not sure if that's a lot tho

To me it was not fully clear which were the zones for dancing and drinking even after doing the tutorial. To be fair I also blame my short memory on this.

I missed being able to drag a box for multiple selection, on normal difficulty it feels like there are too many enemies to keep track of.

I loved the silly songs >.<

Developer

Yeah you are right, I wanted to work on new sprites for understanding purpose but I missed time, same for the selection box :) At least you can Ctrl + click to select haha but it is true it could be easier to manipulate :)

1605 on easy level I think it's really decent good job handling your own nightclub !

It was a bit difficult to get into the gameplay loop but I managed to get the hang of it I think. The concept is pretty original, by the end all of my people were fighting, which was pretty funny. A good package overall!

Developer

I m super glad you liked it. Yeah the gameplay is a bit not conventionnal and I didn't managed to find a good way to make player understand it. I tried doing the little interactive tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to report :)

This game was so weird. I would never have thought about seeing something like this with "soft" : D
Tutorial helped to understand it a bit, but they still seemed to get drunk easily and soon everyone was punching each other. That was fun though. 

Developer

Hahaha yeah this is really not conventionnal game I think :') sorry for the lack of informations, it can be hard to understand the game. The game requiere a little bit of practice :) Thank you for the comment tho

Developer
