Grats on your submission! The house art looks real nice but it wasn't intuitive to me how clicking things magically made the party better. Maybe some highlighting or animation on actionable objects would help?
Nice music for the party.
The party is dying if there is a "party pooper", but as you said it is not easy to guess which guest is the pooper - they decrease the mood when they are in, so you need to find out and kick them out :) and ofc keep serving drinks and snacks (also a little hint that you can entertain them by some DJ tricks by double clicking to the record player :))
Good luck :)
I feel like you may need to give a little more guidance on how to do things, as it can become a little frustrating. The music was good and the art cohesive and when I did click, things happened, so the game worked, but I'm just not sure how it affected the game.
You could maybe consider having little number pop ups above an item or person when something is interacted with? The overall "meh" meter at the top, is abit vague but may make more sense with other feedback to the player when they do something, like a a good/bad noise or happy and sad icons above heads.
Obviously we were all only given a short amount of time, so many it was your intention to include these things, but you can always edit your submission page to help players out!
