Link 404'd.

Edit:
I like the 3d + 2d style, I can tell a lot of work went into the environment and the props. Couldn't quite figure out some of the things they were asking for, I'm guessing it was something to do with the combining platform you mentioned, but I couldn't figure out where that was. Awesome graphics though 5/5

Interesting, but Im not sure what triggers game over.

Its a basic timer that get longer when you bring the asked item to the baby, there was plan to communicate how much they corrupted the world thus triggering the gameover, but we folded them due to time constraint. It was our first gamejam so we might have overshot the work required to pull it off :)

love the art, its a super cute style. game was fun though i feel like you bump into props a little too easily

Same as above. Any ambient noise or background audio would've made it feel a bit less empty, and I agree it can be easy to get stuck on walls and other props in the world. I'm a big fan of the 2D sprites mixed with the 3D world especially as the art style for the characters is real cute! Good work :)

Artstyle is really nice blend of 2/3d the 2d sprites are really nice and charming. The hit boxes on the scene elements is a little large. like other people said, but honestly its a really nice game

Your art is really pretty, especially the environments! They look very professionally made.

Unfortunately, there was a lot that I didn't really understand, like sometimes the kids wanted things that I could just not find anywhere at all. The controls were also sadly a bit wonky and unconventional - it's a little strange to press G to pick things up with a wasd controls setup. Why not E? I also kinda kept getting stuck on corners which made things a bit frustrating because I realized I had time pressure. There wasn't anything telling me how much I still had though so the Game Over screen always came as kind of a surprise.

Love the art style so much! The 2D and 3D is awesome and i like how different each environment was, you can tell there was a lot of effort put into everything. I felt like having maybe audio indicating when they want a different item because each time I went back and got confused.
