In this puzzle game you have the role of an Event Planner for the dinner of the Society of Multiphobics.
\nYour task is to assign all the guests to chairs at the tables in such a way that no phobia is triggered.
\nAll levels are solvable.
\nAll the required information is displayed within the game, but here are some backup infos just in case:
\nthe guests are represented by emojis
\nthe phobias of each guest are represented below the emoji (again emojis)
\neveryone suffers from triskaidekaphobia
\nselect an emoji to get more information about the phobias
\nchange the position by using drag and drop or clicking an empty chair
\nyou can also use the empty fields as intermediate move
\nthe game is won when all guests are seated correctly
\nnote: some guests are represented by object emojis, treat them as persons nevertheless :)
\nThe score is based on the amount of moves.
\nYou get the highest score (9999⭐️) if you solve the level in the least amount of moves possible (par).
\nWhen you need as much moves as the level has guests, you still get 2000⭐️. Then it slowly decreases to 0⭐️
\nNote: Calculating the optimal par was one of the hardest parts. The final solution is not perfect, but works for most cases.
\nvery nice theme usage and game idea, played it a lot already, the levels are fun and challenging!

\nFun puzzlegame, i could almost “hear” the constant complaints of the guests when i again seated a horse-o-phobic frog opposite of the horse, that could not stand newspapers,.. :-)
\ni also like the music, matches the theme, good job with soundbox.

It’s pretty interesting and challenging, but fun game. The music is pretty enjoyable too! Some sound effects would have fit perfectly too.
\nThe theme is on point. While I understand the point of the phobias, lore-wise it’s confusing why a book would feel fear or something.

It was an inner conflict between having the weirdest phobias possible and having living things. I ended up enforcing living emojis only in the tutorial, hoping the mechanics are clear enough after those levels.

\nI’m glad the hints were there, and the shaking red borders to know what needed moving or satisfying
\nThe graphics and animations were good
\nMy only criticism was that it was over too soon

\nOver too soon? Did you achieve 9999 ⭐ for all difficulties? 🙃\nBut I guess, you mean more predefined levels and/or variations?

Very good execution.\nMore variety would be welcome - more tables, things like fobias of particular color, or animals in general etc.,

Consider making educational games. I’ll show this to my 5yo as sun as he come back home from school. There is a true potential.

I liked how I felt like I beat it and then was shown that I did not, in fact, beat it, and there were actually more difficulty levels!
\nI liked the mechanics of fear. It was challenging to try to keep track of everyone’s fears at the bigger tables.
\nThe graphics were clear enough. I think this was a great use of emoji to save space, and I felt that the fear animation gave each character a bit of personality.
\nIn the end, the game beat me, but I guess it’s good that the game has challenges for event planners more skilled than I.

Having to seat everybody in the right seats without triggering any phobias is a really fun challenge. Great job!
