How does your game fit the theme?
You try to keep peace and prevent the family members from exploding with rage.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code and animations yes, but all audio and most graphics are from online sources, modified for the game.

This was really cool! Unfortunately on my first playthrough I hadn't read the instructions fully yet, so only one family member made it through dinner. Fun, unique gameplay hook and a great spin on the theme. Well done!
Thank you so much!
Family Fued
1. I LOVE the graphics, GBA style feux-3d is one of my favorite styles, I must know how you did these sprites! They look fantastic. Beyond just the looks the characters a very evocative and have good designs
2. Gameplay was both fun, frantic and very funny! All the gags were great
3. The father is supposed to be talking a lot as his 'annoying feature' but it just looks like a big white stretching box, there should be something written in there or a fake alphabet in there to convey speach
Thank you so much! Yeah, wish we had time to add fake text to the dialogue box. The other family members were supposed to talk too, with their speech bubbles getting squished by the father's speech bubble. On point 1: JapeNess will hopefully tell you more about that!
Thank you very much! I was very thrilled when making these graphics they worked really well! Used a lot of ready made asset that i modified to work in the game in blender with 3d. Animations I made myself, but for the pixel art i used the compositing to make it look like pixel art. Used this tutorial for it. Crazy good tutorial for pixel art with 3d.
Was honestly pretty engrossing. Half of the fun is trying to figure out what can go wrong with all of these people, and trying to optimize dinner makes the game fell really re-playable. Your team made a fun game! My only thoughts for possible change would be to maybe have the kid's "ammunition" be easier to collect? Having to click on it multiple times feels kind of slow compared to everything else.
Thank you for the feedback!
I loved the art style. Great job!
Love the graphics reminds me of that old "Neighbours from Hell" <3
I loved the art and the concept for the game is very funny!! It turned out absolutely charming!!
Thanks a bunch, monch!
Hey Monch, I have a feeling you'd like this game: Seek and Click
It's a short game about finding cats.
ohhh thank you, I just finished it and I enjoyed it quite a lot!
Glad to hear it!
Fun little addition, and made with Construct as well, well done! Simple and to the point, I never did get to experience the storm though!
10/10 would survive a potentially disastrous dinner again
Thank you! The storm was the family members exploding with rage, but it's avoidable!
Oh my goodness, I absolutely loved this!
Hilarious, unique, and works so well with the theme. Really great job in all areas :)
Thank you!
HHahhaha the game gets so hectic after only 15 seconds it’s amazing! So unique, and the art style works well. I had a blast replaying the game and improving every single time. The fact that they care so much about eating that they don’t even care about the fire is so funny to me! :) Great game!
Thank you so much for the praise!
Such a cool game!!
At first, I was honestly very confused, it's kinda hard to realise what you can interact with, and how. I was trying WASD, and stuff, until about after a third playthrough I figured out the mouse haha. Maybe make this more obvious or something.
HOVEWER! A very funny and a very well done game! At first crazily uncanny, but then very funny and action-packed!
I really like the art, sounds, and the theme usage !!
Great job :)
Thank you for the praise! Yeah, we could mention in-game that you just need to click on stuff with your mouse.
Hi I have played and rated, if you can rate mine. Thanks. I liked your approach to the game jam, quite unique from the games I have rated , enjoyed smashing my mouse on the record player :-)

Thank you!
The art is 10/10 and the theme too!!! Really smart implementation of the theme, fun game and pretty refreshing to play this, got 6/6 in first try, everyone happy <3
Thank you so much for the praise! It's a pretty hard game, so it's cool you got all of them on your first try!
Impeccable replication of the uncanny valley feeling from old win98 games with rendered cutscenes. Very funny and perfectly captured the theme!
Thank you!
Hectic was right, haha. Makes for a fun one. I like the style and the music/sfx were good choices. I believe I should have ready the page fully before playing, but the anomalies (lets call them) could probably be indicated a little clearer.
Thanks for the feedback!
hahaha such a funny game i love it, art looks very good!
Thanks! I can't use a gamepad right now but I will play your game before the ratings period is over.
thank you, looking forward to to your gameplay experience :)
Finally played it! :)
Very interesting concept, and a blast to play! keep it up!
needs more audio visual feedback for what can be clicked on.
Very funny game, had a blast playing it! On my first try I was completely lost what was going on, but the second try I barely got everyone out alive xD
Thanks! Glad you gave it a second try and beat it! :D
"0 family members survived dinner"
Ah, just like Thanksgiving!
This was a fun game. Took me awhile to understand what I had to do but watching them explode was entertaining so that was great :D
Well done!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it even with that ending! :D
