Nice game! I only played easy mode so this might not be a real critique, but I found it somewhat repetitive. I really enjoyed the graphics! Great game!

Beautiful game, but it's very hard to click on a kid instead of environment. Crying sound is goood, was it recorded by your programmer?

Really fits the theme :smile:

Fun concept! The controls are a bit tricky though. I keep dropping the babies even if I hold the button down. (I'm guessing this is intentional though?)

I'm never getting kids..

The art is incredible, the fact that you got that done in such a short time is a real credit to the artist. I would have like to see more gameplay elements. The loop of trying to drag the toddlers to the bottle got old after just a couple drags and I couldn't see any change in difficulty.

Funny game! I really liked the visuals. Picking up the toddlers was really hard tho!

I love art and music in this game :)

It was pretty fun ! Good job
If you want to work a bit more on it, i suggest you to make the grabbing mechanic easier to use, Overall great work !

The art and sound effects/music was really good!

The only thing that I would say UI wise would be to indicate when you're hovered over the child. It was a bit unclear where my hand was when next to the child.

Incredible visuals and I loved how the music picked up in intensity as the game did. Little tricky to click and drag the kids, but fun nevertheless!

haha, 5 is really hard, but they are so cute :)

Really fun take on the theme, gave me a good laugh. I wish the grabbing was a bit more responsive, but otherwise good job!

Fun little game! I can see this being the kind of game that you play while waiting for a meeting to start (or end ;-)) The controls were a bit finicky, and I had a hard time telling exactly what I was going to pick up when I clicked. I think if the object that was being targeted would highlight so the player knows exactly whats going to be picked up would go a long way. It got a little frustrating when the baby ran into a pile of blocks and every time I thought I was hover over the baby I would pick up a block instead. Maybe this is intentional, though? A way to mechanically induce the frustrations that come with dealing with toddlers? If so, spot on! Good job!

graphics: Don Hertzfeldt would be proud.
Music: Playful and appropriate.
Sound effects: As a dad, I had flashbacks.
Gamplay: a bit tough to grab things effectively but otherwise a solid concept.

Very pleasant game overall. Graphics are catchy to the eye. Didn't even try hard mode, too much stress haha.
Gameplay is easy to understand but because of the unstablity it might get a bit triggering. That being said, great work !

Nice game, absolutely hilarious. I like how music dynamically changes based on how much you screw up. It was really hard to grab something accurately though; It would be easier if objects would highlight to indicate what will be grabbed.

Dude. Your game frustrated me soooooooooooooo much. The babies just kept dropping!! I suppose it was intentional for the game to be harder, but damn, I was so mad after these babies xD. Good concept though. And the graphics are really nice. Love the babies creepy. Good job!

Nice and funny game! It seems to me that these toddlers are saying: "I was dead, ahh" :smile:

Love the visual style and the use of cell shading! I used a Wacom tablet to play, and it was extremely satysfying to finally get a toddler to a bottle after trying to catch them for a minute. I don't really understand why sometimes the kids seem transparent to the cursor, no matter how many times you click — perhaps it's by design to make them hard to catch, but feels a bit like something isn't working in the controls. But other than that, great stuff!
LDJam user 2625255 Oct 2021, 20:07
Just as terrifying as in real life. The game is pretty basic, but also very polished. The music was really good. My only complaint is that the cursor sometimes feels a bit inaccurate when trying to pick toddlers up. Great game!
