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.

Thats such a good take on the theme. The graphics just feel so nostalgic and the music great. I really enjoyed my time with this game. Successfully saved all 6 and then had to see them dead for the storm they caused!!
Kudos for a wonderful submission! :D
Thank you so much! Glad you went back to see them blow up! :D
One of the more stressful games I played. Really well made. Felt like my head was about to burst too with the amount of problems this family has
Overall had a great time and a really solid game!
Thank you!
Bro! This is hilarious! I like the concept, the art, and the music. How did you make the art?
I like your take on the theme too! I tried to do the same but didn't have enough time:( Anyways, congrats!
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.
This was HECTIC! A really unique take on the theme, which I believe was executed well. Initially, I wasn’t sure what to do so it took me a while to understand where I had to interact/click. Nice sound design too!
Thank you so much!
This was a tough one! Poor old Alfred needs to run around the place trying to keep the peace! :D I only managed to save 2 members by the end but had a lot of fun!
Well done on making this unique and challenging experience. Definitely a cool way to interpret a storm!
Thank you so much! Yeah, 90's animated Alfred was the no. 1 inspiration for the butler! :D
Fantastic! Can't go wrong with that inspiration!
That was super challenging and fun!
Good job overall! :)
Thank you very much! The kid's ammo is on his left, they need to be taken away (takes 3 clicks).
Hee-ho. Interesting game. Cool idea
Very Cool!
The guy on the left is unsavable, everyone else survived. Eat with your fork, pig! They all seem bitter about it, almost miffed.
The choice of going for the "pixelated 3d model" look is a good one. The audio stressed me a little, wouldn't recommend to people who are easily stressed but would recommend to everyone else! The concept of the waiter teleporting to solve the problems is good and the accompanying whoosh is a good sound. Keeping the peace of a fun concept for a game, though if I was the butler in real life I'd be quitting my job day one.
The game itself was mechanically not super interesting, though it was nice seeing the characters interact the way they did (especially with the kid and his silly gun that should be taken away) and it still challenged me to click around and notice when something was wrong, which is a nice mental challenge. It was overall fun and I enjoyed playing this.
Thank you for the detailed feedback! We appreciate it!
Nice game, great use of the theme. I love the vibe as everything slowly picks up pace
Great work
Thank you for your kind words!
Fun little game, and quite a clever use of the theme! Aside from the menus, it looks really good too.
I had some trouble knowing when to click the music player when the music turned off, especially because when it looped, there would be nothing playing for a few seconds. Also it wasn't obvious the kid was throwing stuff at the other family members, and even when I noticed I wasn't sure where to click to resolve it.
When I figured those things out, though, it was quite fun trying to make the least amount of family members explode! Good job!
Yeah there is a bug in the music player if using firefox. In chrome it works. Thank you playing and feedback!
that's pretty unique, nice game. Really challenging. A little hard to know what's clickable
Thank you! Yeah it's very challenging. :D
Simple and short, but brings a lot from a little. I know you stated that the graphics and audio are from online sources, but I can say that you had a good eye for both in order to up the hilarity and awkwardness of the situation in this game.
My only real complaint is that there very little contrast between what is clickable and what isn't. One of various examples is the pacifier that not only blends into the rest of the assets, but can also go under certain sprites, making it hard to recognize even if one knows to find it. For a game that requires you to respond as soon as possible, being confused to what is and isn't clickable leads into either the player not clicking at all for a response or luck rapidly clicking all over hoping to fix everything that way.
Thank you for the detailed feedback, appreciate it!
A tough but interesting little game about trying to keep people calm in a family dinner! Love the visuals, especially how the characters look after exploding haha
Thank you! Yeah it's hard game. :D
Nice game! On my playthrough, it turned into complete chaos very quickly and everyone's heads exploded. It felt a little bit unclear what to do and I started just spam clicking everywhere--I guess that's kind of part of the fun, too! Also, visuals were very unique and worked well. GG
Thank you! Yeah the time run out for us to make a tutorial for it. The description explains how to play it.
Really well done game!
it was kinda confusing at the benining i didnt understand what im supposed to do... and at some point their heads went on fire and i dont know if you can make it stop but if you can i didnt figure out how lmao
nice game, i enjoyed it a lot ;)
i'd really appreciate it if you could try my game as well ☺

Thank you! Yeah time run out for us to make a tutorial for it. The description explains how to play it. I will play your game!
It has enjoyable gameplay.
Thank you!
Excellent game, well done!
Thank you!
Very unique among all the other entries, and very well made. You write the graphics are from online sources, but they fit so seamlessly with the premise, as if they were made for the game. The difficulty is high, but not so high you cannot complete it, and I liked that as well. Very nice job!
Thank you! I used 3d assets, but i pieced and modified them together nicely to work with the game. It worked well!
this is so chaotic oml great job!!
Thank you!!
