Home Alone Party by Dedicave

It´s 20:00 Mom and Dad are gone, they´ll return at 02:00. You have six hours to host the best party ever! Chat with your guests to know what they want, put the right music and food in each room and keep the house clean!

This game is the second game made by Dedicave, a small team of young amateur developers from Buenos Aires, Argentina. We really enjoyed taking part in this, our second jam. We´ll appreciate all the feedback. Thanks for playing.

Well done!
Excelente juego! Maravilloso pixelart, música genial y se nota que el juego fue diseñado especialmente para la temática desde una perspectiva innovadora. Quedo atento por si hay actualizaciones. Felicitaciones! 5/5
Also, I experienced a few issues while playing. First time HTML5 version crashed and I downloaded the macOS version, but then the first door would not open (the one that leads to the kitchen locked with :lock:10). Let me know if you upload a fix, I'll be glad to play it entirely.
Fun to play, cool graphics and nice music! The parents don't seem to come home though, or ar the two last guest the parents?

I agree with comments above about sound notification for a door bell.
Also, I was taking to somebody near the table with food and drinks, and the person suddenly disappears :smiling_imp: Did I killed him? Should I expect the police coming to the party?
The gameplay itself was pretty interesting, balancing different needs. It felt though that the game moved too slow, would have been great if it progression was a lot faster. :)
Perhaps I was just not a good host or missed something ;)
(I think when people left, the number in the room also didn't go down, bug?)
Nicely done!
Sadly the game crashed after a while, but it was fun to play.
One thing I've noticed is that the Items on the kitchen table are not shown for me which makes it a bit hard to tell if there is still some food left.
It would be nice if the tables were more accessible - at one point the room was quite crowded and it was difficult to select the table itself and I just kept interacting with the nearby guests. Same sometimes with the doors. Also (in the html version at least) all the food on the kitchen table was invisible, which made things tricky. Was never really sure if the food effect was persistent or not. Sometimes the requested item would already be on a table already, but people would still be asking for it and I didn't know if it still counted, or if I had to order fresh. So some clarity there might be nice.
But with a couple of small adjustments you could have a really nice game. It was fun and easy to play. Very impressive for a Jam, and I liked the core idea behind it. Well done!
