OMG a game made with java?! I feel like in 2010! XD Good job for taking the hardest road ^^

I laughed so hard when reading the descriptive of your game it deserves 5 on humour. Nice humour

Thanks @joselor and @kemsou! So much more I wanted to add. Might make an Aunt Mavis 1.5.

Wow, a game in Java, I didn't expect that! Well, there are tons of people who play Minecraft on Java. However, I haven't been able to play it because I'm on GNU/Linux and I didn't expect that I would need such a modern version of Java. Could you upload screenshots? This way you could attract attention and make people want to play your game even more.

It's very unusual to play Java now, it's a nice nostalgia. Aunt Mavis is a great character

Nice game! Even I created my game using Java. Good job!

Good job, I just can't stop laughing!

@kemsou @joselor @milq @bios3008 @yusovv @taran95 @jacinto-mba Thanks all again for playing. In case you were interested, I've added version 1.1 above.

It's always impressive to me that people can make a game without an game engine from the ground up. And to do it alone is even more impressive. Super fun theme and gameplay, I'm going to spend some time trying to get to 8PM. :D

Fun, little game! Apparently Aunt Mavis has superpowers and can phase through people :P

Fun little game! An interesting pathfinding optimization problem. Novel interpretation of the theme.

The sound effect for "stop Aunt Mavis from drinking" made me laugh out loud, love it.

It would have been cool if the other party guests moved around, thus requiring more on-the-fly problem solving.

I found the hitboxes a little unforgiving. I would recommend making them smaller than the visuals, and also making them a little "squishy" so the player doesn't get stuck on the edges.

Overall solid entry! My highscore was 19:34 :)

@zimny11 @iamsodarncool Thanks for playing! Zimmy - Yeah I made it so she was an unstoppable force, she simply must have her drink!

IAmSoDarnCool - Cheers for playing! There's a 2nd version of the game linked above where I added a few roaming guests. Regarding the hitboxes, you're right sometimes they're the worst. My GF's brother raged so hard getting caught by a single corner pixel. My high socre was the same, 19:34!
