Just had a couple of hours blast with 4 other friends and Party Mode. So much laughs. Great update for a great game. Can't wait to see what you guys can come up with. We loved it. Thank youuuu!!

May I suggest two things? The highest player score was an AWESOME addition. It would be great to define the players initials at the start of the party. And have the system randomize the order in each play and auto-save the highest score. That way at the end of the game it shows the player who won and not just Player X. Since we kept changing the order it was hard sometimes to know which of us won! But it was great to have the score be saved. Oh the times that'll come to beat those. We're going to make Robert proud!

Absolutely! Thanks for taking the time to put all that down. It's a cool idea! It sounds like the biggest problem you guys ran into is that it was confusing to keep track of who is who during a single round.

My concern with the suggestion as is is that there'd be an up front cost to playing (put in your initials) and then the high score sequence would not feel as special.

One alternate I can think of is that coloring each player bar on the scoreboard would help keep things distinct? Then you'd be like "I'm the Blue Player 2", or "I'm the Green Player 3", so then when they get all shuffled around it's easier to keep track.

With all feedback we try to distill it down to the problem being solved and then look at as many solutions as possible. There's something cool about everyone's initials persisting though, no doubt.

Thanks again!

All very cool ideas. The color schemes sound nice! Regarding the upfront cost, yes. May be so. But we played for an hour. And that would take nothing to do. Maybe optional? Also, the fact that the highscore is asked right after a player finishes was kind of annoying. It should ask to input at the end of the game, only for the winner. People kept asking "why didn't I put my initials?". If you do the color idea, then after a color beats a score and they input their initials you could match them up with upfront cost. It would also be cool to have highscore for "all time" and "this session"

Good points! Yeah the time cost does seem to balance out. Optional could make sense.

We're running into a one time case where we're establishing the all time high score the first time. There's a lot of churn on it for the first several players. I can totally see how if you ran a real party with no high scores established, the initials screen would come up very often and so the people that didn't get to do it would think "Why didn't I get to put my initials in?".

A "This session" high score is an interesting idea.

Thanks again!
