This party's going to die soon, it's your job to KEEP IT ALIVE

You have control over the volume of the music. Some people want to dance and some want to talk - try and keep as many people happy for as long as you can.

Up and down keys control the music volume.

Technical things

Written totally in Pygame, with sound editing in Audacity. I always get bogged down in art in LD, so this time I though I'd not bother - all art assets are generated on the fly programatically. This was an exercise in writing for Pygame, and once I found the lerp function it was incredibly painless. Code is little bit sinful (big, globally-accessable dict to store object state and many many magic numbers) but I've done my best to make it readable.
