Update 0.9.9.3 - Leavers now get replaced by bots, 15 new hats and costumes, bugfixes!

Yes, that's right, people can now disconnect/ragequit mid-game and it won't affect you. So long as the host keeps the game running and doesn't leave, any leavers will be replaced by a bot and the game keeps going like normal! Previously if a player (non-host) left a game while it was still in progress, the entire match would shut down and everyone would have to start over. This was dumb, and frustrating for everyone who just wanted to play. With the changes added in this update this will no longer happen, instead when a player leaves mid-game they are replaced by a bot. If it wasn't for a message in the chat box saying a player left, you probably wouldn't even realize someone left! Hopefully this will make finding, and playing a game a little less frustrating, as now (losers) can rage-quit mid game and it won't affect you! I also found a few bugs with the server browser, specifically if you tried to join a game with the wrong password you would be told the password was wrong, but the server would still accept your connection, causing a ghost player in the room.

NEW HATS AND COSTUMES

With this update the total hats count is up to 50. This update also introduces COSTUMES, which are more than just things that go on your head. Here are some of my favorites!

And here's a full video showing them all! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW_IX5jVLIk&feature=youtu.be Nothing else major with this update worth talking about, lots of little fixes. It's highly recommended to always stay on the latest version!

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!
