Update 0.9.9.5 - New Minigame, minigame refinements, post-game fun!
One of the first ideas stems from the fact that once a minigame's time is up, the screen just faded to black and went to the score screen. This kind of felt anti-climactic, as you just finished winning and then all of a sudden it's over and you're left feeling like "that's it". To improve this a short post-game sequence was added, where it zooms in on the winner, shows his name and plays a short victory tune. During this time you can ALSO still run around and punch eachother, which is fun! Some minigames there is 'permadeath', but you can still win if you've died..in these cases it zooms in on your body laying in lava and I think it's super funny! I think this is a great addition to the game, it adds a lot of polish and just makes winning games feel better!
In Picture Perfect you have to jump on the tiles to change them, matching them up to complete the picture. The more tiles you match up, the more points you get. You can also go and mess up other players' pictures! (but that would just be mean, right?). There's three variations to this minigame, chicken, whale, and toasted goober!
I added two 'traps' to the boxing ring game, Kickpuncher. Now there are two boxing gloves that hover over the right and left sides of the ring that move, and punch randomlly! If you stand to close and get punched you'll go flying
There was also some 'moving' walls added to the minigame Ghost Chasers that should make the game a little more difficult and add a bit of uncertainty to the game! There's a few more small changes like this I want to make to some other minigames, but for now I wanted to get these new changes and new minigame out! This update also fixes the "Connection Timeout" bug that was happening last week. Instead of direct connection being tried and failing (silently), now relay will be used in these situations.

There's been some really great discussion in the forums this last week about some ideas to make the game feel better as a whole, as well as lots of ideas on how to make the game feel a little more polished and fun! I spent some time fixing some bugs, and had some time to work on adding these suggestions!
Post-Game Victory

New Minigame - Picture Perfect

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?
