Graphics are awesome! I'm also impressed you got some AI in there too.

The gameplay is a bit lacking though. I've also seen a bug where you don't get a speech bubble above your head sometimes? (Though I was playing a beta build apparently)

drakncel 2017-12-04 14:37

Thanks for the feedback Kieran! This build has some bugs that we are working on fixing :)

quaternius 2017-12-04 14:46

Loved the idea and the graphics are just great, maybe some indicators on the border of the screen to know where is the trouble would help. Great game!

leandre-renouard 2017-12-04 15:57

Thanks Quaternius. This is a great idea, I don't know if we could create this kind of indicator but that could be cool. Like a minimap or something

r2d48 2017-12-04 18:32

At this point (beta 7H before Jam end) : Good music and graphics. Some fun and humor. I really had to hardly defend the bedroom this seems to be the most strategic place. I reach the score of 15 638 800

drakncel 2017-12-04 20:09

Wow @r2d48 that's a pretty good score, glad you enjoyed it :)

bridgs 2017-12-04 23:44

Super cute characters, love the sprite for the bedroom action! Very good concept :ok_hand:

acoto87 2017-12-04 23:45

Nice game, I enjoyed. Like how the people start dancing anywhere...

cubeeo 2017-12-04 23:50

If you walk outside, then to the left and out back, around the house, then try to return back around on the right side - YOU CAN - even though there's a wall there - you walk right thru it.

I loved the part where the players go on the bed and it becomes blurry. Also, anyone that does anything 3D - my hat's off to them. But, I also have to agree a little about gameplay being a little lacking.

hiken 2017-12-05 00:09

This is a good game with good graphics, AI is kinda weird but it fun ! Oh sorry I need to go a girl started to spew everywhere :(

djeycreations 2017-12-05 11:18

Really nice game! Graphics are beautiful and it is really playable. Just a few technics issues but nothing truly disturbing. (sometimes interactions don't trigger. You need to get away then come back to interact.)

geeitsomelaldy 2017-12-05 13:17

Interesting game. Cool graphics and atmosphere, but it's really easy to glitch through the furniture and get stuck though.

The link on itch.io goes to the edit page, probably should fix that too.

anaconda-games 2017-12-05 16:32

Really interesting game, the actual gameplay make me feel a bit like I do have a real impact on the actual game but it is really funny :smile:

dawik9000 2017-12-05 17:10

Great idea and nice implementation of the theme! Love the artstyle and the mix of 2d characters with 3d environment.

The background music is great, althought the soundeffects are a bit annoying. Good Job!

jlreymendez 2017-12-05 17:49

Good idea for the theme! I like the art, sounds and general mood of the game. The party gets out of hands rather quickly that's good, but maybe giving the player someway to do some damage control would be nice in the future.

r2d48 2017-12-05 18:34

The score system seems to have changed in the final version. I only reach 2800. Is it possible to Win the game ? (end screen you can read "you loose")

gerardb 2017-12-05 19:11

First of all, congrats. The art is out of this world and the theme is just incredible. Gameplay eise I would have liked to have more impact though but I really liked it. Looking forward to what you guys do for the next jam!

davidvallee42 2017-12-05 19:21

@r2d48 yes the score system has changed but 2800 is the best score i ever seen on that game

@GerardB thank you see you at the next jam ;)

xeloglaz 2017-12-05 19:32

Very nicely executed! The only problem I've had are too wide colliders (I got stuck here and there). Also, I love graphics and soundtrack:smile:

ghodan 2017-12-05 19:39

This is really good! Fits the theme perfectly. Love trying to hang up people's phones to try and mitigate the difficulty spikes. I only found one bug, it seemed like sometimes the sound effect for interacting with people and barf wouldn't play sometimes, but overall this is really good!

dan-colman 2017-12-05 20:22

Great connection to theme. Graphics have a nice retro feel, nice 2d with 3d. Difficulty spikes pretty quick, good variety of characters.

mrleeperry 2017-12-05 20:31

Fantastic stuff! Love the visuals, the random characters, theme, the general scenario is awesome... it all really came together.

I wasn't quite sure if I was supposed to react to EVERY thing over someone's head? Like, the smiley face, etc...

The people "doing it" just killed me, ahhaha.

compufreak 2017-12-05 20:37

The quality of the graphics and polish is great, unfortunately the gameplay didn't give much to me. But it definitely meets the theme ;)

leandre-renouard 2017-12-05 20:39

@mrleeperry Thanks for your comment! You don't have to react to all emoji, sometimes people just say there emotion. But that can distract you from real important decision, like people who want to fight or spew ^^. Glad you enjoyed our game :)

leif-good 2017-12-05 20:49

Great visuals and very fitting sounds! I had a lot of fun, even though i feel bad for poor Bobby. Awesome job!

leandre-renouard 2017-12-05 20:54

@leif-good Yeah, we felt bad for Bobby too during the creation of the game ;)

That our Bad luck Bobby

Cool game, you nailed the mood of the game for sure and it's pretty amusing to play. I did find it wasn't always clear what was causing the mess to go up though and what could be done to stop it. Also, on my first play through, A man walked into my empty house and immediately threw up which was great xD

marin0104 2017-12-05 21:06

I really like this entry. The idea is great an perfectly fits the theme. I was not sure if i should react to every bubble above the party guests heads and if i should clean up all the plastic cups on the floor. I really wanted to clean up all things on the ground :D In addition it was unclear for me, if any cleanup actions benefits the messupmeter. Perhaps you could clarify that. Great job!

jeromwaarom 2017-12-05 21:09

Very fun and addictive game, the humour is really good and the gameplay is solid and just good fun! The movement was however a bit glitchy, it is way too easy to glitch through walls and furniture, ended up at the back of the house accidentally once.

hillexed 2017-12-05 23:07

This was a lot of fun! The 2D-in-a-3D-world look suited the game well, and so did the. (I loved that the music was directional and was louder near the speakers, too!). You nailed the feeling of watching people spiral out of control.

Here's my game, if you'd like to have a look now that your game is being judged! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/conversations

jean 2017-12-05 23:16

Poor Bobby! hahaha

The art is so cute! I just felt that the movement was a little weird and I wasn't sure when I could interact with the NPCs.

Besides that, great game!

magicdidac 2017-12-06 01:11

Nice game! Simple but good! Bobby is so cutie! >.<

Congratulations, and Good luck!

angelonias 2017-12-06 14:09

I loved the art, the combination of 3d and 2d is something that I actually like a lot. The scene is just gold! Great job!

meanmon13 2017-12-06 14:11

I liked it... this game struck a little close to home since i've hosted a few parties in my day lol. It was so hard to keep up with all the people making a mess! Definitely fits the theme :-)

fskr 2017-12-06 14:15

haha :-D brought a smile to my face. i played another jam game where you had to clean up after the mess.

your game had a really cool art style and i liked how you set up the house. really lovely! also the end screen is really cool :)

drnoir 2017-12-06 14:21

ahaha really enjoyed that, top score of 2028 on the 2nd round, funny concept and well made.

fabian-pohl 2017-12-06 14:27

This game will kids teach a valueable lesson: NEVER be the host of a house-party.

asghardian-game-studio 2017-12-06 14:33

Really nice game, the 2.5D its really impressive.

superb graphics :D

waaaat 2017-12-06 14:34

artmajcher 2017-12-06 15:58

I love the art style, it's building the mood of the game. The party concept is great too. Good job!

drnoir 2017-12-06 17:43

Vid and review of playing it here https://youtu.be/-EYXs31kKlM?t=10m28s

davidvallee42 2017-12-06 18:07

@drnoir i saw some strange thinks who need to be fix ^^. thanks a lot for the feedback!

drnoir 2017-12-06 18:16

@davidvallee42 No worries, all I noticed were a few graphical clipping issues once but it didn't ruin the experience. Fun game, in the vein of The Sims etc, liked the randomness of who came in too ahha , really funny concept.

lekiy 2017-12-06 23:09

Funny game, It found that it was easiest to just run around spamming the spacebar, maybe having some sort of conditions to do actions would make the game more interesting.

arly 2017-12-07 06:07

Very nice art style/lighting combining 2d and 3d! It was a bit confusing that some of the bubbles weren't interactable, and I would have liked if Bobby was faster than the partygoers to make the game a little hastier. Maybe he could even run around and have the ability to knock things over so you'd have to be more careful!

cenullum 2017-12-07 09:34

Good Aspects:

* Color palette and lighting are right chosen * Map design , character design were excellent * There wasn't unnecessary bloom effect * Npc can make their own food like pizza! :D * Theme was match * There was everything possible at the party.

Suggestions:

* Collider was awful , I can move over speaker to other room , over sink , over kitchen. * I can hold space while move so I don't need to know that Is there any problem in party. You should use input getbuttondown instead of getbutton . * I was want to know how long I survive in game over screen. * You can add chunk out feature.

Bug:

* When npc turn right colliding doesn't work. You probably scale whole object intead of flip sprite. But if you flip you don't get back side of sprite. Therefore you should use natural tree shader in unity3d .Also you can open receive and cast shadow of sprite in debug mode. * Just one npc can have sex itself ! if it isn't masturbating , it is weird.

krassenstein 2017-12-07 13:15

Interesting take on the theme. I liked how you had to constantly clean up vomit from people who came to your house after a long night of partying and then chose your house to vomit in instead of their on. Also, you damn fast at cleanin up.

Nice job!

leandre-renouard 2017-12-07 13:22

@cenullum Thanks for your feedbacks, that's help us a lot.

We are actually correcting some bug, like the collider and the bug when the sprite turn right or left; We are thinking about adding some feature : clean the goblet and pizza, have some animation when you clean vomit. We saw the bug the npc go to have sex alone, but that made us laugh so I think we'll keep that's bug ^^

Thanks you very much for your comment

waaaat 2017-12-07 21:49

@cenullum thanks for the feedbacks, about the masturbating first it was a bug then we found that funny so decided to keep it as @Leandre said we keep improving the game such as other char mobile version and so on

flip120 2017-12-08 17:45

I've found a little confusing to find what I have to do in the game but it's a nice game, I like the mix with the 2D and 3D, the art is great. Good job!

arya 2017-12-08 17:49

Great game! It was very stressful, just like if this were to happen in real life (I've been in a similar situation before). People were vomiting right away in the game, which I found strange. Love the humor and the audio and the art! 5/5 overall!

antoined73 2017-12-08 17:58

Awesome graphics, nice sounds :) Maybe a bit repetitive but it fit perfectly the theme ! Congrats !

larapoi 2017-12-08 18:20

@flip120 You're probably right, I think a tutorial could change that in a future version of the game.

@arya Haha, at first I thought it was strange too but in the end I think it keep the game in a funny mood ("God damn, why do people just go to my place to vomit?!")

@antoined73 Thanks :) In the future, the game may have others level to avoid the repetitive aspect of the playing.

Overall ít's a great game, love the censored. Nice music, perfect art. Maybe some sounds for the npc would be great so it's more like a party rather than just sound from the radio.
