Ooh, i love the art style! This was a lot of fun balancing what foods people do and don't like, nice entry!

Really liked this. What came together for me were the assets. The music, fonts, and faces fit together really well. And underneath that the little food puzzle mechanic worked well too.

This is the most unique interpretation of the theme that I've seen today. Also an entry with one of the strongest mood's. I really felt like a host trying to please all my guests. The art was nice and the little icons over each head made things easy to understand.

One piece of criticism I have is that keeping all of the information in my head was a bit much once the guest list started going over 4-5.

That being said well done! I had a lot of fun with this entry.

That was really cool! Maybe I'm just bad at the game but I also found it somewhat difficult :sweat_smile: but it really makes you think about what to choose next once you get the groove of what categories there are

@phillserrazina it's certainly a challenge at first. I know there are a lot of games to play right now, but if you were to keep playing it you will discover some strategies. There are also 13 total 'flavors', but only 8 in play on each playthrough, so you may see some new recipes and art as well :)

Wow. This is definitely one of my favorites out of this Ludum Dare so far. The arts and music are extremely well executed, and the puzzle was fun to play! Great job.

Thank you @eugsun I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Really cool game! I loved the level of detail you created, and the touch on the theme is just amazing and unique. The game at first looked easy to me but as guests left one by another it was already too late! Great mood, meaningful, and overall very well done!

The aesthetic of this game is super on par, art/mechanics/music go together super well. Wish there were a couple more things one could do. Felt almost too easy, but loved the game. good work!

Thank you @iantyf, really kind words. @dry-squid, you are the first person to find this game easy haha. There is a strategy, and I can now beat the RNG *most* of the time after practicing. At the last minute I cut the required score to win from 5 to 3, and that had a big impact on winnability.

Love the art style and the comedic use of a puzzle. Great job on incorporating their hearts when hovering over their portraits. A lot of thought has been put into this game, great job! Wish there was some indication after selecting each delecy as a little indication that some people enjoy the choice, but it's great even without this suggestion!

Cool concept you made there, a little rough around the edges but an interesting game non the less

marchmain 2019-10-08 23:44

Great idea, @humphreysmedia -- wish I'd thought of it :)

This is so clever! Gives me a lot of appreciation for people who actually organize this kind of party - I could barely make anyone happy. Great art and really well-thought-out gameplay. Nice work.

pestodesign 2019-10-09 18:39

Wow very clever! I had to keep track of everything, and could not beat the game at first try! Also, I like the modular design on the faces - I am a designer and I love to reuse elements to create variety!

marchmain 2019-10-10 00:59

@pestodesign that was me in hour 45 copy-pasting in Illustrator as fast as I could haha!

pestodesign 2019-10-10 06:39

It still works! :D
