I have mixed feelings about seeing blood in such a cute game.

Oh my god! Best game so far!
I love everything about it!
At first my baby always get alive and as I am so panic about it, trying to figure things out as everything is moving. Just like the baby in real life, (not stoping and running toward every dangerous thing in the appartement / not the being eaten alive part! )
Then the first level are easy/fun to solve as long as you keep the baby in the corner of your eyes.

I can't play for long tonight but I'll come back for more! Nice work!

Loved the music and game play. The game felt very polished, from the art work, to the fonts used, to the menus!

Yeah this game is great. Firstly, SOUND TRACK! It was amazing how well it fit the game. Gameplay wise, it was fine and entertaining. This is definitely one to be playing and taking notice of. Fits the theme, pixel art was nice. can't really see what's wrong with it.

Super nice little puzzle game that's well polished for the time available! I sometimes found the puzzles a little fast paced with not enough breathing time at the beginning, but once i got into the groove i really enjoyed it. Great job!

Its very cute and fun. The puzzles were surprisingly challenging. The music is pretty good. All around a good game.

Really solid game, sound, graphics and theme.
A puzzle game were you really need to think about the plan and execute it flawlessly. Maybe add some "coyote time" for beginners.

hahaha unexpected ending, nice job, art and music are superb!! great job, really liked it!! It's a very nice and simple complex, very well executed. Solid entry
AlphaBetaSoup20 Apr 2020, 22:51
Well done! I loved the animations. The puzzles were also well thought out. My only ask would be to get WASD support :)

The puzzles are quite hard but the game is fun. Graphics and sounds are nice and polished. Smart, cute and cool game! Loved it!

Some kind of two player coop version could be really enjoyable. One of the best LD46 games I've played yet!
Gurglesprain20 Apr 2020, 23:26
Waaaa this art? So polished, it looks better than so games on steam nowadays.
KayaCarlton20 Apr 2020, 23:44
Super art, super gameplay ! One of my favorite so far good job ^^
rich20 Apr 2020, 23:45
Excellent job! I really enjoyed playing your game. I liked everything about it. The sounds were on point, the graphics are awesome and I like the premise of the game.
Britt21 Apr 2020, 02:43
Really enjoyed playing this game :D was horrified when the baby was eaten it was fantastic and it made me play it over and over trying to save baby.
nickw2221 Apr 2020, 02:45
Really nice! Plays great, love the art and nicely polished!
Twistashio21 Apr 2020, 03:06
Really Nice Game! I like the art style a lot. Plays really well and can become very addicting! Congrats

@webox Welcome to try the secret second ending!
PythooonUser21 Apr 2020, 05:57
The art looks really polished. I like the level complete music. And it is quite gross how the baby gets eaten by the monsters!
Nonon21 Apr 2020, 08:30
Love it! At first it took a few tries to take a hang of it but after that you can really enjoy playing!

Lovely game ! Not much to say ! I actualy didn't understand right away that you could make the monsters fall but the concept is nice and the realtime strategy is well implemented. I think a bit more of sounds and juicyness would have make the game even greater. The flow and the pacing between two levels is a bit weird because it feels too sudden.

Otherwise a great game. Honestly

a good puzzle, some levels require more elaboration, since you have to make a decision very quickly.

Very solid combination of great artwork, music and clever puzzle gameplay. The one thing that was a bit fiddely was managing the "pickup on walk over" mechanic. I think picking up with e, then throwing with e once you carry something would have helped me execute the solutions I thought up a bit more reliable.

Great puzzle game. very cute design and nice graphics. Its frustrating being so limited as to where you can drop the tiles, unless I was missing something? Would be nice to have the arrows disguised as something else that fits the style as well, like a plant/animal or something.Looking forward to seeing what comes next!!

I found the puzzles to be really challenging but very enjoyable! And the graphics and audio were nice, great work!

Really good game! You should upload it to android or etc.

It's beautiful and very polished, great job. The monster eating the baby animation and sound are especially nice.

The only thing that bothered me is picking stuff up when I don't want to. I believe it could work as it is if you were locked into moving along the grid (it would become part of the puzzle). Since you can move freely tho (which is probably better) I would prefer to pick up and throw things by pressing and releasing a button.
Rafee23 Apr 2020, 12:27
Puzzles are challenging and well planned. Graphics and music also grabbed my attention. Just a suggestion. I know you've written it on your page but if you guys declare the objective of the game at the beginning of the game that will be nice. And object pick up kinda annoyed me. But I'm sure you guys will take care of it. Congrats!

It's interesting to see exactly where the creatures will go, very nice idea! Maybe making easier controls would make the game more pleasant to play without actually making it less hard or less exciting. Maybe you could put blocks right next to you instead of 3 cells away?

Beautiful game, good sound and I like monsters eating baby :)
shadow3023 Apr 2020, 17:29
Very nice puzzle game! The ending was sad :/ The art was cute! I had much fun to figure out how to solve. The controls are a bit strange and I didn't like that the bear could fall off the edges.

fatPenguin24 Apr 2020, 14:43
Awesome graphics! Cool idea for a puzzle game :)
I just felt super confused at first about the blocks - like I didn't know if that was "realtime" as in "be quick" or think about what you're doing - turns out both, respectively have good timing :) the bottle thing was nice and cute. I just felt like throwing thr rocks felt weird - it always happened when I run gaianst them, I think it would be better if I press a key to pick them uop and then press another key when I want to put it down -

other than that, congrats on finishing your game, the art really is amazing and cute :)
Anthony Pengelly24 Apr 2020, 19:44
Really fun game! Well done - so stressful (in a good way)
Michael Wingfield24 Apr 2020, 19:47
It was a good game. I was impressed by the number of levels and the complexity of the puzzles. Like a few others have said, putting [space] and [ctr] together as the buttons you play with is really quite difficult. Especially when you don't also include [WASD]. I would also agree with some of the others that having the bear pick up the arrow stones when you walk into them is not intuitive and is really frustrating when you are not intending to pick one up. Thanks for your submission!

This is a great puzzle game with lovely graphics. A small bug occured when two monsters were able to eat the baby at same time. I loved lemmings as a kid and this game reminds me of it :).

Nice game ! I just wished you could drop items where the bear? is, because sometimes throwing things where you want is a bit hard ^^

Hello! Thanks for commenting on my game! Now for your game:

The audio and graphics are superb! From the first screen to in the game, every sprite looks great, and every sound effect and music track fits in. Really superb!

I personally thought that the automatic picking up of blocks was inaccurate, and didn't always work like I wanted, which left me frustrated. The blocks were also in my opinion thrown too far (maybe because I'm so used to Stardew Valley), which often made me lose since I missed my throw. However, I think that the level design was fun, and a double puzzle to both figure out a plan and then to execute it.

Overall, super polished game, but the gameplay frustrated me a little too much, the combination of inaccuracy and the fast pace needed to stop the baby from running into the monsters was a little too much for me, sorry. I want to empathise that it's just my opinion, and given some more time I could probably get used to the controls!

The art was great, and the music worked well with the game. The mechanics were clever and it was overall a fun puzzler. Nice work. :)

This game for me is a good puzzle with working and challenging level design. Very cute pixel art, cute but maybe short cycled music. At first I thought that I need to guide the baby right into the house (to the door). But then I've got rid of all enemies on lvl 1 and then got whole idea. I think little intro or help screen describing the real goal would be gladly appreciated by newcomers.

Great job, love the art and animations, reminds me of zelda. Really great effort for 3 days!

Some more animations for the monsters falling off would be a bonus, if you carry on developing, maybe even some other kinds of traps / hazards ( there may have been more, I couldn't get past the big V shape level )

@johnnysix thanks for the feedback :) yeah the v level is really hard :S you have to try and throw all the arrows quite fast or trap the baby at the bottom, I thought about taking this level out as I knew a lot of people would get stuck.

a33329 Apr 2020, 18:56
Hmm. I swear I left some feedback 5-6 days ago, when the blocks were still picked up automatically.
Just to recap, I really liked the sound theme, together with sounds it was a bit irritating, but in a good way? I don't know how to explain it, but the whole game felt like some weird mix of pain and pleasure, good stuff and bad features, cute and bloody. Gameplay itself, I never seen anything like that in real time, so it broke my brain a bit, but I did finished the game, and was quite happy about it afterwards.

Now, this version feels more polished, and there's less of that weird mix, which is sad since a) I liked it and b) I'm personally against this kind of polishments made after the jam, since, as you can see, even such "harmless" changes can change how the game feels drastically.

Correct me if I'm wrong and you did no changes after the jam, but I definitely played this one before.
DBreak29 Apr 2020, 21:09
@a333 Good to know you like it. You are right. Harmless changes in a dish makes the tasty different. I will be more careful before making changes. Thanks a lot.
