Fertility Island

Fun and interesting idea.

What a fun game! Love the ebb-and-flow between gently floating above the quaint village - to dive-bomb the infant into the ground! Creates a very fun gameplay loop - that somehow manages to be cozy and relaxing, but punctuated by moments of intense challenge.

Really glad you went with the soft ukulele and wing flapping noises when locating a house - very pleasant mood. Enjoyable to just live like a bird for a moment.

Also - the baby whining when you 'lose' crack me up. And your instructions / itch page look fantastic! Super polished

Overall - you did a fantastic job, a truly wonderful entry. Excellent work!

This game is so fun and hilarious. My best record is 2 babies.
I love the contrast in music between the flight and the fall. 10/10.
These babies are future pro fortnite gamers

I like the style and the point of view

I dropped so many babies! I really like the music when you switch over to the dropping. It's a fun switchover as I fail to get the baby in the chimney. I wasn't quite sure if I was getting them into the right houses though.

Very nice mood 👍
Although I'd appreciate a little more leeway control in dropping the baby. It was pretty frustrating trying to get it down the chimney!

I should have read the description in this page before messing with the roofing of all the neighbourhood. I liked it, but I personally would have loved a way to get info of the target house faster, if you go for high scores, you can do little but roam around until the third tip is given. Come on bird, say it already, there are babies to deliver and the timer is going down.

Record: 6 babies so far

Loved the silly factor, baby dropping music is fantastic. There was almost no point in guessing which house to drop to before getting the third clue because too many houses fit the description of 1 or 2 clues. Would be interesting to test the risk of an early guess if there were more details on the houses and you started off with 2-3 clues revealed per flight and it added additional clues the longer you flew around.

This idea is so fun and sound design is great! It sounds so funny to deliver a baby like that. Might be a little bit hard to look beneath the player from that angle of camera.

Love this idea and how you executed it. Workes very well! Its fun to find the right house based on the hints and the mini game to steer the baby to hole. I just wish there was a way to steer the baby back when you overshot your target.

Very interesting concept! It reminds me of some legendary stories of the ancient "bird giving children away", but this game is undoubtedly humorous, with interesting music and scenes

Bro what was that CURSED looping sound after I lost lmao

Very cozy game, the concept is great and the graphics are really good. I absolutely love the music and speed line effects when you drop the baby, it's hilarious. It was a bit hard to nail the chimney. The three step instructions from the stork was a nice mechanic. Good job on this, I really like it!

Nice game it's a funny idea you had have a good laugh playing it, really loved the music too , GG

Very funny game. Got 4 babys on my best run.

Feels like a fun little mini-game! I kept overshooting the baby though :(

Interesting Game! But it's a little hard to confirm landing position

This is brilliant. The baby dropping music is definitely my favorite part. The UI also works very well. One thing I would change is to maybe give the bird a couple more controls like a "dash" or roll so the first half of the gameplay loop is more dynamic.

The shift from the chill floating around trying to find the right house to the baby "delivery" action made me laugh everytime. Th atmosphere is great and the controls feel about it right, as someone else commented being able to adjust if you overshot the target might be nice but overall a fun game.

This is a pretty fun game! I liked that you had to aim when dropping the baby into the chimney, the only bad things I thought about it was when you are aiming the baby I feel like the controls are a little too touchy, I had the baby in the direction of going right into the chimney but accidentally tapped W and the baby went really far away from the chimney, I also feel like the timer shouldn't go down while the bird is describing the house because it takes a while to get all the information and by then it wastes a lot of time, but other than that I had some fun playing the game! Keep up the good work!

Very fun game, I really started to enjoy when I understand all the mechanics, its a little tricky but sure is enjoyable. I laughed every time the baby falls whith the music.

The idea that hints do not appear immediately is, in principle, not a bad idea in order to have time to realize the information given to the player in turn. But the fall of the child - not really, to be honest. Like he has his own inertia and because of this, it is much more difficult to aim at once. And the problem is that there is too much time and there is not much of a challenge because of this.

Relly interesting idea, i had fun!

I really love the puzzle matching mechanic. Soo many babies right into the chimney wall.... oof

Funny and challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/3W4lG4WsUMw

@kuviman damn, great job

hard in beginning, but after some time i became better at this mission) clear theme interpretetion, and a reallt funny one! Well done!

@captandrey woooow you now wear the crown of storks. Thanks for playing!

It's an unique approach to the theme - kind of follows the European tradition (at least in some locations) where storks delivers baby boys and crows baby girls.

The game is quite fun - it took me a bit to realize that hints are released over time, and that child can be also 'piloted' while falling (since then it became a bit easier to control). Baby dropping music is great!

I'd definitely improve one thing - I had to go to main menu after failing to deliver baby to start again. Due to the amount of failed drops before I realized the baby can be controlled ... well ... I could just git gud too, instead of complaining on 2 additional button presses.

Mechanics are simple, delivers pure fun. Great job!

i like your game

Woow, @kesha11s That looks awesome! You captured the essence of our game
