Party Panic has officially LAUNCHED!! 25% Off this week!

It's been a wild ride. I'm beyond thrilled of how Party Panic has been received so far, and I'm excited to see what everyone thinks of all the new content. It's crazy to think that just over a year ago Party Panic first entered early access. At that time the game had 10 minigames, the gauntlet, and no online multiplayer, and now it's come so far, with so much more to do.. Let's take a look at what's been added in that year.. -Online Multiplayer (!!!!) -20 minigames were added (totalling 30 now!) -Trophy Island -50+ hats and costumes -Keyboard and mouse support -Progression/leveling system with loot-boxes -25+ Achievements -Post-game Winner highlights I'm honestly surprised I managed to get all that done as a solo dev, it was hard work, but it's beyond satisfying to finally see it all come together today as we launch out of Early Access. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYgfY5eDsxI

Moving forward

You might be wondering what will happen with Party Panic moving forward. I am absolutely still working on more content. Right now the plan is to take a short break from dev (I've been working on Party Panic 7 days a week for the past 18 months..) but in a few weeks I'll start working on new minigames to start. Let me know what you'd like to see added to Party Panic. Want more minigames? More Costumes? New game modes? Anything is possible! I'll most likely be devoting some time in the near future to start looking at what it would take to get Party Panic on the Switch, Xbox One, and PS4. Thanks for all the love you all gave to Party Panic while it was in Early Access. Without your support, Party Panic would not be what it is today!

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!
