I only got as far as the seemingly-invincible plant pot, and I couldn't figure out how to rub things, but I had fun regardless. Cute setting, and I really love the graphics.

Scared the out of me when I figured out how to start the game. Fitting music, although it doesn't loop perfectly (nitpick). Great length and complexity for a Ludum Dare game.

I didn't realize you had to press space to start the game since clicking didn't work. Even the main menu is a puzzle. :P

I liked the ranged charging mechanic. I found out you can even charge diagonally!

It took me a while to figure out how to tame machines, and I think I've figured out how to use them, by pressing space to pick a target? Several machines don't seem to have a use though.

The microwave is especially brutal with the apparently random pattern. :P

I finished the the final level and the missiles.

Why on the earth they got a missile launcher at home? xD

Tried the legion of vacuums... didn't work... had to go a more traditional route.

Cool game! All hail our new baby overlords :D

This is awesome, Euske. The art is simple but charming and the music gets stuck in your head in a good way. The plot and gameplay are really unique and funny. I love the story of a tech-loving newborn wrecking his/her home and also trying to take over the world, it's great. On a side note, I completed the last level with one second left on the clock! phew

I felt kind of bad when I realized I had to destroy my vacuum-friend the first time, haha!

Hehe good idea. Humping furniture until they explode ;)

But yeah, that little monster. Took me a while to realise the power of running. Cool but really hard!

Funny premise for a monster. Nice art. Thought some of the objects were too hard to destroy. Good job!

Haha, reminds me not to get children. Ever. Cool idea and interpretation of the theme and really cute art style!

Awesome pixel art, well done! Will play it again!

Great game!
Hacking enemies to do your bidding is always fun.
The time limit in the later levels makes it really challenging!
My only complains are that it's a bit hard to figure out how to play at first and that the sound gets a little annoying after a little while.

At first I wasn't sure how to start the game, so I just started hitting everything on my keyboard. Boom, spacebar. Anyway, I found the visual and audio elements of the game working well together. Regarding a human baby as a little monster was a funny notion. Plus, he breaks anything and everything in the house. Nice take on the theme! Fun game!

I cannot get past level two :) fun to play

Very polished! I like how each machine is different and has it's own quirks. Took me a bit to figure out how taming and targeting works, but once I did the game made a lot of sense. The length and level variation is very nice. It isn't too short or long, and gets more interesting each level. The ranged machines are pretty annoying, but since there are health pickups it's possible to survive being hit a few times.

Couldn't figure out how to make machines attack other enemies?
And on the second level I kept dying near the thing with electrical bolts. Oh well =/

Really nice graphics though, and the music is catchy. Just really silly overall, in a good way though.

You can press toward a moving machine (without attacking it) and it will be tamed. You can use those machines to attack other machines without getting damage, and that's what you're supposed to do in Level 2 (where the microwave is deadly).

Audio got annoying after a while. The difference between walls and floors could have been a bit more pronounced. It was fun to bump into things as a baby.

poor baby ... the gameplay is innovative and original.

Fantastic game, one of the best I've played. Controls were just a touch iffy, and I got trapped a number of times by overly-friendly vacuum cleaners, but it was really quite fun once the difficulty was raised in the later levels. Excellent job.

Lovely game! The rubbing mechanic works great, that was a surprise. The soundtrack was awesome. Kids definitely scare me more than monsters :D great entry all the way

Loved the taming mechanic and the whole thing was pretty polished and funny!
Great game!
hdong4 Sep 2015, 03:44
That was a nice twist on these kinds of games; the charge mechanic was great and really changed the usual run-into-everything-to-win formula.
Had a lot of fun playing it nice work!

Great game- love the bright colors and cheery music. Took a bit to get a hang of things in level 2!

Bizarre and engaging in equal measure!
Also incredibly irresponsible parents.

Couldnt figure out how to tame machines, only how to destroy them. Except the...lighting thing in second level, which destroyed me all the time -.- But fun and cool game!
