Postmortem: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2013/12/26/mother-love-postmortem/

With this theme I started to brainstorm and... everybody has just one mother so I decided to do a game about a mother taking care of her child.

She can bring him on her mouth to protect him, but she can also throw him and kill the enemies.

I hope you enjoy this little jump'n'run game as much as I enjoyed doing it. It's my first entry in Unity after many Flash entries.

Controls:

-Use cursor keys or pad.

-Left control key to throw your baby.

Tools Used:

-Unity3D

-PaintShop`Pro

-Sfxr for the sounds

-Autotracker for the music

Very nice! The idea is interesting and very fitting to the theme. Cute sprites and sound (love the baby crying effects) top a great entry.

Congrats! :D

Cute, and pretty smooth too. My only gripe is that you don't move while sitting on a platform, requiring you to move in the direction of it. No biggy though.

Throwing babies was really great, and I did enjoy the game even though I died quite a few times. My demises were mainly due to the controls being a little too hard to handle.

Interesting idea and nice gameplay, environment reminds me of the first Sonic for MegaDrive!

Nicely executed. Though many things were the usual generic platforms, I the 3D branches did stand out. All in all, had a good time playing it. The music was great.

Really nice to see a 2D platformer drawn in 3D!

As I usually think, this is yet another game that would have been more fun without the "only get one" theme trying to be jammed into it sideways.

Short and sweet, but quite hard and I kept overjumping and was glad for the checkpoint.

I'm impressed how you could pull this off. You got 3D, textures and even some water, coming from Flash you've accomplished a lot!

Nice! Very cute and pretty fun. Movement could use a little work, was pretty hard in particular to move with the moving platforms. I quite like what you did with the theme. Nice work, especially for the 48!

That was actually pretty cute.

Good job. A little generic in terms of platforming, but I liked the idea. :)

Very cool for what it is. You could definitely take it a lot farther too. I wish I could rate you on controls, because I found it a little frustrating ;^) a hover ability would be great, because the jump was hard to manage. But I love the theme of throwing the baby to defeat enemies, it really tied into the theme well. Thanks for the game!
