Baby is an egg. For some reason, your species gives birth in the middle of space. It's pretty dangerous out there. You need to protect baby until it grows up and can fend for itself. Keep it alive!
[A] and [D] - rotate your ship around the egg
[J] - fire bullets
[L] - grab the nearest item, when it is fully charged
Health - This is the health of you and Baby combined. Don't let it drop to zero or you will lose.
Grab - When this bar is full you can pull the closest item towards you to give it to Baby.
Growth - You win when this timer is full.
Baby will randomly get bored, hungry or thirsty. Getting it the correct item will boost the growth bar, but providing the wrong item will decrease it!
You can destroy items you don't want by shooting them. Remember, you can only grab the item closest to you.
