Thought it was pretty slow in the beginning, but it sure did speed up. Some of the options, dialogue, and art was funny. Good job. You mention no support for firefox, but I was able to play it in firefox. Not sure if that would apply to everyone though.

@cody-holt it just kind of started working an hour ago! I don't know what was going on earlier but I'm glad it resolved itself.

I can't believe I (eventually) let those poor beer drinking, medical help needing, cheeseburger enjoying kids down, the shame will never depart from me as I contemplate my lost party wizarding credentials.

nice work!

UHHHHHHH. I love this! Great work, on the art style. I wish it went a little faster to challenge me a little more, but the vibes were great!

funny little meme game; might be a little faster, since I got some bug and lostall hp on giving water, and then it's not so interesting to go for stranger items from start

Very funny game!
Things start of slow which I think is good as it allows you to get used to playing.
It then can become very intense when things begin to speed up.
I found it quite hard to tell the difference between burger and cheeseburger when the speed got really fast.

Overall enjoyed this one a lot, good work!

A simple game with a funny visual, cool

Probably one of the deepest story-line out there :p. Jokes aside really like the idea and the funny artwork. I like that you added a visual to see how much time is left. I think the speed up could be increased a little bit in the beginning, so it gets interesting faster. Great game!

Party wizard rules! For a simple game this was quite fun because of the humor and charm. Reminded me of the old flash game days :smile: Keep on making games (fer sher bro)!

A very funny game! I only made it 25 items in, I wish I could've seen some more of the hilarious requests!

My record was 22. Really very funny, the wizard's eyes make me laugh to death. In my opinion, you should implement a nice online leaderboard for the score and speed up the beginning a bit, which in my taste is a little too slow, but still, I appreciated it a lot, really good job!

To be honest, I couldn't play it properly because of the wizard guy. Whenever I looked at him I just laughed. My favorite in the humor category so far. Great job!

I will be excellent moving forwards, giving the constitution to a boy who needs medical help was not the play.

Hilarious game, from the concept of a party wizard, to the things requested, all the way to the googly eyes, I was laughing throughout the entire game!
It's really picking up speed at around ~20, I can only ever make it to ~25 before dropping the final request and causing the worst day in the party wizard's life. On my last run that was a request for medical help, so that was extra funny though. The gameplay gets very tense and keeps you on your edge, and it is the type of game where you immediately want to try again and improve your score, I liked that. Very well done, great job!

LOVED IT. I read the captions aloud with my kids and we all laughed. I didn't realize that things were speeding up until they crushed me. I wish the scale up was somehow smoother which I think means starts sooner and progresses slower.

Party Wizard!
At first I thought the game was real slow, took forever for the dialogs to finish. Then I realized the game is speeding up each round. Then party wizard messed up big time and ruined the party for everyone :laughing: Not much replay value unfortunately, but nicely executed.

That was a great little game. loved the humor and the style, those are exactly the kind of requests i would expect from people too, with about the right kind of time before they complain! Wizard responses made me laugh several times.

Potential things to add:
- I had no idea what a glizzy was, and the 10 x 4 didnt seem to match any of the pictures i got for it, i was thinking maybe add a menu on the back wall, but then i suppose that defeats the point of it being anything.
- Not sure if you could add light effects from the party over the top, might make some of the pictographs harder to decipher with disco lights getting in the way, or a smoke machine.
- Themed parties with the option to smite / frog anyone who requests something off theme.
- Leaderboard, this so needs a leaderboard, maybe storing the wizards last words against each for the laffs.

You are a party wizard Harry! :D Really fun art style, nice and simple mechanics, and a lot of humor. Well done. I think I do not have any interesting feedback... maybe people asking for more that one thing at a time, to make it more complicated (and adjust time for that)? Anyway, good job with the game!

23, not bad... Got asked for a signed 8x10 and didn't see it. The kid was happy with anything I summoned...
