House Party! by HyperBabyDuck
Solo Jam Entry.
You are hosting a party and you must keep your guests in the perfect range of inebriation and cater to their personal music tastes until the sun comes up! Be warned! Some of your guests are lightweights, and if they get too drunk they won't have a good time.
Keep your guests drunk with beer and shots, but if they get too drunk give them some water to help them last the night.
This is my first ever game jam game and I still can't believe I finished it! I created everything except for the sound effects and font.
Enjoy!
Tools: Unity, Aseprite, BeepBox


Controls:
WASD / Up Down Left Right - Move
SPACE - Pick Up/Give
X - Drop
Esc - Exit Game
Fill the Guests' blue Drinks Bar to keep them having a good time, this will fill their green bar which in turns fills the overall Party Status bar at the bottom of the screen.
If a Guest has too much to drink their green bar will go down, so don't fill the blue bar too much!
Beer fills the Drinks Bar 25%. Shots fill the Drinks Bar 50%. Water reduces the Drinks Bar 15%.
Bug Fixes: Resolution fixed to fit in web browser without having to enable full screen.
FUTURE PLANS:
Thank you all for the comments so far! I think I will keep working on this game in the future and I am taking all of your comments on board. I am going to add difficulty levels, layouts and time limits.
I also want to clean up the UI, add drunkeness level indicators, possibly animations for the guests to add even more feedback and a small tutorial level that displays the benefits of each type of drink. I might also make the art style more cohesive, and I'm thinking about using a limited colour palette for each level as that is visually appealing to me and would be a fun challenge.

Controls are a bit stiff, but other than that I like the idea
I didn't understand the tactic behind the game at first try, but finally managed to 'keep it alive'! ;)
