Great music and I like the art. I like how it plays with your expectations :) SPOILER: I wasn't able to figure out any combination to save the baby, is that the message or am I just messing up :P Great job!
You can actually save the baby, it's just sort of random which combinations work (I was very very sleep deprived when I came up with some of the combinations)
Innovative, excellent graph and sounds/music, humour, mood... I <3 everything! A fantastic entry, congratulations!

My son and I enjoyed playing this. We finally saved the baby! Yay! The music was nice, not irritating. I like the simplicity of the game. The puzzle aspect kept us coming back for more. Great job!
Really creative use of the theme, very funny. Like many of the others, I couldn't quite find a winning combination, but it was fun nonetheless. Good work!
Fantastic game. Really funny, great use of the theme. Actually managed to pass on my first play and then went back to play a few more times (couldn't find any other combos that work, maybe publish a list or video after the compo is over?)
This is the best game I have played so far. Really excellent attention to detail, I like how when you have multiple hats on they stack very neatly. Very fun and funny, I probably spent at least 8 minutes playing this game.
Is really hard to find a valid combination, I like it, the music and the art are also awesome. I like the way that the game was used as a satire. I'm also very impressed at the thought that this was done by only one person in 48 hours, very good job!
The one-child policy is one of the most heinous human rights violations of the modern era. It is directly responsible for infanticide, forced abortion, child abandonment, and mandatory sterilizations. Yes, you can use games to talk about these tough issues, but this game just treats them as fodder for Three Stooges-esque slapstick jokes.
I agree with you chardish, I just think that putting something as absurd as the one child policy into an absurd context is an appropriate way to stage things for further discussion.
It's amazing you implemented the theme with that one-child policy. And disguising it was pretty fun. Some absurd disguises were really funny when the inspector came- "As you can see this is not a baby, it's clearly written on it's forehead" I died laughing at that part xD Did manage to get one right combination and saved the family. All in all, a pretty promising entry.
