In this puzzle game you have the role of an Event Planner for the dinner of the Society of Multiphobics.

\n

Your task is to assign all the guests to chairs at the tables in such a way that no phobia is triggered.

\n

Info & Controls

\n

All levels are solvable.

\n

All the required information is displayed within the game, but here are some backup infos just in case:

\n\n

About the score calculation

\n

The score is based on the amount of moves.

\n

You get the highest score (9999⭐️) if you solve the level in the least amount of moves possible (par).

\n

When you need as much moves as the level has guests, you still get 2000⭐️. Then it slowly decreases to 0⭐️

\n

Note: Calculating the optimal par was one of the hardest parts. The final solution is not perfect, but works for most cases.

The game fits the theme perfectly. It’s fun and makes you think, which I really like. The controls are smooth, and the design looks good on both mobile and laptop.

Polished production. Great use of emoji and overall smooth graphics and nice music.

Full marks for the theme!

\n

Fun 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,.. :-)

\n

i also like the music, matches the theme, good job with soundbox.

Sudoku for dinner planning. It’s pretty interesting and challenging, but fun game. The music is pretty enjoyable too! Some sound effects would have fit perfectly too.

\n

The 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.

True. 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.

Matches the theme very well.

\n

Super creative idea.

\n

Awesome job.

A fun game of shuffling seated phobias.

\n

I’m glad the hints were there, and the shaking red borders to know what needed moving or satisfying

\n

The graphics and animations were good

\n

My only criticism was that it was over too soon

Thanks for your feedback!

\n

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

Simple but really good puzzle game where it can quickly get quite complicated! Audio and graphics were nice, got me hooked for some time!

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

Nice puzzle! 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.

This game was pretty interesting. 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!

\n

I liked the mechanics of fear. It was challenging to try to keep track of everyone’s fears at the bigger tables.

\n

The 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.

\n

In the end, the game beat me, but I guess it’s good that the game has challenges for event planners more skilled than I.

Really cool idea with a cool twist on this years theme! Having to seat everybody in the right seats without triggering any phobias is a really fun challenge. Great job!
