You've done so much right, and it looks and feels really good, but there are a few shortcomings which I believe would help the game a lot without requiring too much work to implement. \n\n- The font is a bit too difficult to read. \n- No button feedback on start menu\n- That one really loud song is a bit too loud!\n- No win\/loss condition (?) Maybe I made a mistake or misunderstood something, but I just kept going until I had like 40 guests but the game never ended. A simple timer would help so much. \"Keep the party alive until 3am\" makes the game so much more fun to play because you have a specific goal. \n- No way to quit... For some reason a lot of people forget this, but a simple pause menu with a quit and continue button helps a lot. You don't want the player's last experience with your game to be frustration because they have to alt + f4 to quit the game.

I accidentally left my own party the first time so I'm glad there was a trophy for that haha. It's pretty difficult, you gotta really be a spot-the-difference master to notice the food going down or sudden new trash piles hidden by the 5 party guests who made the mess. I played through a couple times and got an F both times, found out my partner got a B, and with their supervision (while playing exactly the same except this time some guitar players showed up instead of trumpets and metalheads) I got an S. Which is to say the ranking kinda feels random based on the musical tastes\/talents of your guests haha, because I was GREAT at picking up all the trash and keeping an eye on the pizza, sick people etc. I thought I'd at least get by with a D so I don't know how it ended up at F twice haha\n\nAs far as the trophies go, I wish it told you what they were for AFTER you got them, because it doesn't tell you WHEN you get them.
