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.

That's a fun game, I read the description before playing so it was clear what to do from the start. I liked who dynamics changed and closer to the end it was pretty tricky to keep everyone calm. Great job!
Thank you!
I’ve had fun attempting to defuse the diners. I never even knew I missed point&click games from the past. The graphics was well done for what it is.
It was a little difficult to understand what was going on at first, and I didn’t realize the kid was shooting things at others until all family members perished except one.
Thank you!
Hey!
Quite unique and fun experience. It brings me back to my childhood point & click games. It's a bit hard to understand at first though, but I have no complaints other than that.
Solid entry. Well done!
Thank you!
Your game is really funny. Loved that the score is basically an amount of survivors (made me thinking of weird spinoff for Supermassive Games' works). Great job!
Thank you!
Wow love this a lot, the simplicity of the point and click mechanic and how it starts so peaceful but gets crazy fast is awesome.
Loved the increasing progression of difficulty over time.
The art and animations look spectacular in this and the mechanics are clean and work very well. Nice job on this game!
Thank you so much!
A very...stressful game (in a good way)
The artstyle is great, and the game is simple but intuitive once you get to know it (I finally managed to finish a run with all 6 surviving!)
The audio perfectly summarizes this game: pure chaos (and stress inducing)
Only thing, an in-game tutorial would've been nice, but I understand you didn't have much time for that.
Overall, a nice short game that does great at everything it wants to be. Good job!
Thank you so much! Yeah, tutorial would have been a great thing to add.
Fun game! Had no idea what to do the first go around until I read the walkthrough section. The visual style is unique and also slightly creepy? It's kind of fitting for the 'family that hates each other' setting. Nice work!
Thank you!
Loved the game, the theme fits very well
Awesome take on the theme. My team member had a kinda similar idea when we were brainstorming, it's cool to see someone else's execution of that! I like the art and especially like when they have the black spikey faces I see in the screenshots. I would've liked some more engaging gameplay than clicking on something being the resolution to everything, maybe like having to click and drag some objects or something to spice it up a bit idk. Great job on this, I managed to have all 6 guests survive the dinner on my first try.
Thank you for the feedback!
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!
