Update notes for [11/23/2016]

All minigames now last 45 seconds (previously 30 seconds) - This was the most common feedback I was receiving about the game. Lots of people enjoyed the 30 second minigames, but a lot of people also felt like the games were over just a little bit too soon. 15 seconds doesn't seem like a lot, but surprisingly it does make the minigames feel like they have a lot more substance to them. After testing internally for the last few weeks I'm really happy with how 45 second games feel. All minigames have been adjusted (scores, difficulties, etc) accordingly.
New Minigame - Hot Hurdles! Jump over the spinning spikes and stay alive. Time your jumps just right and you might not die!
New Minigame - Slippery Sprint! Run to the finish in this slippery race. If you're not careful you'll go sliding off the edge!
Modified the AI in Minigame - Chicken Chase. Modified the game so there are more chickens, they are a little easier to grab. You can also steal chickens from other players goals now!
Fixed a bug where Whacky Whale would spawn crates while waiting for a player to connect (when playing online). This would cause an wall of crates to pile up which you could not get past.
Added level bounds in Minigame - Candy Brawl
Modified Balloon Busters so that not all walls have spikes.
Fixed missing fence colliders in Minigame - Ghost Chasers
Fixed a bug in online play where if you start a second party after playing through the first, players would see bots with different colours/hats
Fixed a bug in local play where players (2,3,4) would be assigned the incorrect colour. (Would show "blue", player would not be "blue", etc)
Fixed a bug where joining an online game would sometimes fail leaving you stuck at the "waiting for players" screen

Party Panic - Soundtrack

Party Panic is a crazy local-multiplayer party game for 1-4 players. Compete against your friends in 15+ rapid fire minigames, go head-to-head in the Deathmatch, or race through the brutal Gauntlet. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it's stupid. Grab your friends, pick your characters and get partying in this exciting and panic filled game!

Are you ready to punch your friends in the face?
Are you ready to chase exploding chickens?
Are you ready to run away from stupid (and hungry) whales?
Are you ready to play football with your face?
If you answered yes to any of these questions you might be ready for the stupidest party game ever!

15+ crazy minigames!
Over 15 unique minigames! Run, jump, and punch your way to first place! Feed zombies, chase exploding chickens, play football with your face! More minigames coming in future updates (total of 25 planned)
Deathmatch
Battle to the death in this classic split-screen game mode. Pick up weapons like bombs, snowballs, and giant hammers and K.O. your friends! Will you be the last one standing when the time runs out?
The Gauntlet
Race your friends through the deadly and brutal obstacle course that is the Gauntlet. Can you be the first to make it through the giant swinging axes, spike traps and more?
CPU Players
Party Panic is a hoot when playing with your friends on the couch, but sometimes this isn't an option. CPU Players are available to guarantee it's always a party, even when your friends are not around!
Silly hats!
Everyone knows all great games let you wear hats. Silly hats only. Wear a pot on your head, become a fierce viking, or an ancient pharaoh. Or just stick your head in a piece of bread. Whatever works. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Lovable (but slightly deranged) characters
In Party Panic you play as a Goober. You're a goofy goober. I'm a goofy goober. We're all goofy goobers. They're a little bit crazy though (probably from all the blunt force trauma to the head.) They like to scream randomly. Like a lot.
Built-in drinking game!
Enable it on the options screen to turn the party into a party. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you!
Original (awesome) soundtrack
Party Panic sounds like a party. Literally.

Can I play the game alone?
Yes. The game can be played with one player against AI, although the more human players you have the more fun the game is! All the party minigames are built around 4 players, any unused player slots will be filled with AI so you're always playing with 4 players. Deathmatch requires two players to play as there is currently no AI to play against, and while you can play the Gauntlet alone, it's still needs AI as well. Deathmatch and Gauntlet AI is the first thing on my to-do list, and will be added with the first update ASAP.
Will the game have online multiplayer?
No. Party Panic is best played with your friends in person, and is built around that idea. While online would be really cool, it's a huge technical challenge for a single-developer.
Do I have to use a controller?
Yes. Being built around the couch-multiplayer idea, most minigames require an analog stick + 4 buttons, and the Deathmatch and Gauntlet modes require two analog sticks + 4 buttons. Trying to use dual-stick styled controls on a keyboard just doesn't work. Any usb or wireless controller should work.
What languages?
Party Panic already has support for English, Spanish, German, French, and Japanese. More languages will be added slowly over the course of development. If you want to see a specific language leave a message on the forums!
Achievements?
Soon!
