Funny topic. Was fun. However, I had a few problems with the controls when recording and hiding. Then it's better to work with the keyboard. Exit could have been left out. The time is also really short. Nice graphics. The music was appropriate. The desperate guests were atmospheric and added a lot to the fun. You can continue working on this project.

Wow very cool idea! I like how you made use of the time remaining to create a sense of urgency. Found it a little tricky to click on things at the resolution you chose, but the art is really cute and the music is awesome!

Great concept, unique playstyle, and I loved the way all the extra characters just threw extra stuff around! Took me a second turn to understand there were multiple hiding spots, but got the 1850 anyway! Artstyle is great and fits together great.

I did get stuck on furniture a few times, and on the first game a partygoer threw a bottle where I couldn't pick it up. Another run I was able to pick up the wine because it was too close to the bottle maybe. Also in my winning run there was like 1/4 of the time left and I had to just wait. 

That stuff is all minor though. the game is excellent and really works well. The dialog is good too with the multiple endings based on performance!

For improvements I think music would be top. Are we hungover, or panicked, or just frantic? Music would go a long way to adding drama to the situation. I also feel like you could build some mixups into the game. Maybe the parents call a second time if the player is doing well to say that they took a shortcut, or if the player is lagging a call to say they're in traffic. Also we don't see the parents(maybe they just crash through the wall)

edit: Oooh also I thought for a second that hiding the cigs in the plant damaged the plant. Maybe limiting the number of times you can use a hiding spot could add some more mixups.

Loved the game. Loved the art. Loved the concept!

"Hey guys, let's clean this place!" - "Nah. I got better things to do!"

The idea is fun, but the controls were frustrating me a bit... sometimes I was standing right on top of something, yet couldn't pick it up, at other times, the pop ups were persistent and blocked my view.


I didn't quite win the game, but I managed to remove quite a few shirts and bottles nonetheless!

Nice entry!

Thansk for your feedback.. yeah sometime the popup menu stays. And the decision what item to take is not right when you are in the collisionbox of 2+ items.. i could not really fix this in time ;/

Thanks for the tip, I didn't realize there was a pattern behind the behaviour!

i enjoyed playing this quite a bit; it was a very charming little game. the funny dialogue and impressive art style were definitely two stand-out pros.

the game itself was pretty tough but still enjoyable. the highest score i got was 1100 cuz i suck lol. the multiple endings depending on your performance were also a cool feature.

this was a really awesome game. well done! :D

Thanks for the feedback.. agree that the controls are of a bit. Especially the keep hanging on the walls.

Fun game! Very difficult, but I enjoyed the unique idea and strange movement controls. I really liked hiding cigs in the plant XD
