Keep the Party Alive! (Solo project) by Alexander Crane
Keep the Party Alive! is a game focused on building as much HYPE as you can. Made as a solo project for Ludum Dare 46. Play as the host of a party as you frantically try and make sure everyone is having a good time! Asset credits found at itch.io link.
Note: The vertical camera is inverted when playing with a mouse, but is not when playing with a controller. This is unintentional, but hopefully not too distracting.
Bugs I'm working on fixing
-Camera rotation
Bugs I fixed
-UI Scaling
-Mouse is invisible in menu after first playthrough

Honestly, the invered controllers bothered me A LOT... I saw you saying you didn't really chose this, still bothered me so muuuch ahhahaha
Still, didn't take the fun off the game!!! I just tested another game with similar concept and saw our commetns, so I came here to test yours too! And it is very nice!!!!
HOnestly, I loved that when I stop moving my character starts to dance LOL
@tuesi Thank you, I'm glad you found the banana!
@dry-squid I'm glad you liked the atmosphere, that's what I was focusing the most on. The frantic feeling of being a party host.
@starlet Yeah, sorry about that! And thank you!
@ctrble Is it a lady you can see in one of the pictures? Some of their hitboxes may be off so I might be able to fix that.
@rey Thank you, I'm glad you liked the mood!
@sarasm I'm glad you found the costume :D
@thedouche I'm sorry you felt that way, what felt janky about it? Any constructive comments?
@filip-bergkvist Thank you! There were a few more things to do to liven up the party - you could bounce on the couch, and dance on the table with the other person. Doing these three things makes beating it easier if you are quick about it. My original intent was to make this have an active ragdoll and janky physics like Gang Beasts/Human Fall Flat, but that proved to be very challenging with the timeframe. And the technical issues you mentioned definitely need fixing, they just went on the backburner in favor of finishing the core mechanics.
Really cool game, had fun playing it :D Great job keep it up!
But I like the aestetic, good job!!
