I've been playing with Digital Audio Workstations before, but never applied it as a function to a game!!\n\nI did find a cheese strategy though. After a while, since there's no rent to maintain yourself to coincide with the theme as well, keeping the party up is pretty easy once you have access to fireworks.

They do what they are supposed to, but especially the icons which are so crucial to the game and where most of your eye's focus lies feel left behind\n\nMaybe settle either on 2d or 3d?\nIn any case, I had a fantastic time :D I made it to 17 Fog Machines, 6 Confetti and 2 Fireworks n_n\n\n\/edit: whoops, I just realized I can actually use the Party enhancers.
