I wasn't a fan of the theme and found it a little hard to come up with an idea I liked.

I ended up going with Baby Face. The idea is that the way your baby looks is not going to change (of course realistically babies faces change lots while they grow older) as the father you're the first to see it, which defines what the baby will look like.

It has a slight disclaimer that there is a bug in the web version, so the baby doesn't make any sound in the game, it works fine on the Windows version.

Also the camera sound in the web version is where it would save a screenshot, it only does this in the exe build.

I did really want to allow you to post your picture to twitter and facebook from the game, however restrictions stopped me from doing so. However I do have a link to twitpic.

Made with Game Maker

I know it's not really a game, so you don't have to point it out :).

I think this is my favorite LD28 game I've played so far solely because of how funny the the baby faces always turn out for me. Mad kudos to you.

Games like this are why I love Ludum Dare, something that is different and makes you smile. Keep it up!

I love this thing. Well done. I included it in my Ludum Dare compilation video series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/mm02WUCsrPg

Super creepy... in a good way? :D love the art, and the creepy baby features, shame it only can save the photo on the exe, but many creepy baby photos are a good thing, would be great if you could get full twitter support working so it composes a tweet and everything, I posted a couple of creepy ones I 'created' to twitpic. https://twitpic.com/tag/LDBabyFace
