A cool idea!! But remember that this is a competition and there is a lot of games to go through, people aren't going to want to read a bunch of instructions and messages : ) I managed to figure it out anyways though so you did something right!
Good concept, the game felt a little unbalanced though - maybe if the bed recharged faster, it would feel like I had a better chance keeping everyone happy/rested? Nice job overall.
I love the graphics :D
this was a lot of fun! i really enjoyed all of the dialogue in the emails, really gave personality to the weird task at hand. being susan is hard work

Lovely game. I really enjoyed it although I didn't find the instructions that easy to understand. But it was a nice and chaotic experience. I had a chuckle at the ridiculousness of the premise of a constant mismanagement that resulted in only one bedroom for all the guests. Nice work.

Really neat idea and execution. I like playing multitasking games and this one is pretty good. Game is well balanced at the beggining it's pretty easy and lets player get used to game mechanics and later it requires a lot of skill to complete level. I also enjoyed reading emails, they really add to the mood. Pretty good job in overall.
I love multitasking games! This was fun!
Good idea and a quite balanced difficulty.
Great job!

Cool game ! Cute pixel art.
I picked up on how to play very quickly. Your first level being very forgiving while still showing the mechanics pretty wall was nicely done. However, I feel like it might have been just a little bit too simple. While it is a bit of a logistical challenge to keep everyone happy and awake, it feels a bit too much like just running a routine rather than planning and executing. Maybe some random events that can all of a sudden affect mood? (someone pees in the pool, injury on the tennis court, etc.) Having a panic moment to manage here and there could, I think make the routine of keeping everyone managed feel a lot more satisfying.

Hey this was a lot of fun. Cool idea! Fits the theme very well I think. Loved the graphics and the game play is fun. I like the challenge of balancing people's energy bar with just one bed. And the emails were a nice touch. Good work!

Great graphics, neat concept. I feel like the one room theme was a bit of a miss but the ideas really worked well.

This gets quite fun after grasping the various timings involved in activities. The happiness mechanic is a bit exploitable, though, I ended up lining the guests by a pool and periodically dipping them in to reset the boredom. Maybe having a separate weariness value per activity that take times to clear would add to the balance. I also caught myself trying to swap the held guest with a placed one and ending up grabbing both at once several times.
Otherwise, it feels very well put together. Nice and clear graphics, too, the happy animations are especially amusing. And the story provides much needed change of pace between rounds of hectic clicking. :)
Fantastic concept and gameplay, I also love the style too. It got very hectic quick though and that's when the game became even more fun! I love the whole idea as well, very well done! :D

I completed party of 9! I had really good scores until then, but for the 9 I got in trouble and a lot of guests were quite unhappy. At least nobody died though!
I enjoyed the tone of the emails, which really carried me through the story. Nice connection of the theme to the humor.
Good job!
