Couldn't play or rate due to having to create an account on another site in order to play. :-(

So cute, awww...
Really great animation and story! Nice subtle hints there

Nice game but somewhat kind of boring.

havi 2014-12-09 22:21

What a cute game! Great animations and graphics! Well done! :)

mechamew 2014-12-09 22:27

So incredibly cute! A total breath of fresh air to see a game like this! Well done for the great illustration, animation and overall mood. This is a gem!

Really hard to pass just level 1! XD
You should have let us vote you based on your audio as well, since this audio is top notch!

Love, love, love this little game :) More like a storybook with a sweet ending.

evanegibbs 2014-12-09 22:32

Thanks so much everyone for the comments! :D

@Danidre Thanks so much!
I didn't select sound as an option because I didn't do any of the music, but I did do the voices and actually recorded the light switch sound. But I didn't think that was enough to vote on.

So cute
Wasn't very hard to answer the questions right, cookies are always the asnwer!

bubblechien 2014-12-09 23:10

That was really cool and cute.

redpanda_ua 2014-12-10 00:30

So so cute, it's like cuteness overload! :3

gokuhd 2014-12-10 01:47

I'm surprised that after I realized how to get to the story in the proper order I luckily chose the right options and finished the game. Not sure if there was actually a losing condition after the story but I did it xD. Love the graphics, the story and the music, great job!

Surely wins the cutest game award! Expertly made, I hope you continue with these (mobile versions?).

kaijuu 2014-12-11 07:36

Such a warm game!

tosic 2014-12-11 08:11

Awwwww... that is sooo cute, I had to try over and over and eventually succeeded! ;D

nicepenguins 2014-12-11 08:13

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuutest game ever ohmygawd :D !

You did a great job ! I wonder if there was some hints I didn't see to find out the good choices.

hundredhundred 2014-12-11 08:15

SWEET! ahahaha this is one of the best entries i've seen so far. Not a lot of ld games have story telling as good as yours! I loved everything about this game ahaha sweet and simple. Great entry!

wer2chosen 2014-12-11 16:07

I retried the game, and was glad I did. This is such a sweet game. I love the graphics.

ryguydavis 2014-12-12 18:35

Now I feel all warm and fuzzy. This was great! I cannot believe you chose to animate things for a LD game. So impressed with what you were able to make in that time.

zkenshin 2014-12-12 23:39

Cute and simple with adorable art. Well done.

thecolorman 2014-12-13 02:23

Nice animations! Very adorable :)

redoxkun 2014-12-14 15:47

Very well done :)

Well-polished, well-animated and well thought-out. This was a fantastic little Jam entry, that would totally be worthwhile as a post-LD project. Really decent children's games are a rarity -- especially ones of quality like this. A lot of children's media tends to treat kids as if they are not intelligent, or fail to challenge them appropriately, or give them a proper example learn from, and a game so attentive as this could really be a good project on that front. Something parents could download for their children and not have to worry as to whether or not they are getting quality entertainment.

The animation was so well done, and very charming. I know that a lot of LD entries need to sacrifice things, like good animation, for more time. You spend so many hours planning and programming and just getting your base assets in, you often never get a chance to do really decent, expressive animations (if you manage to implement them at all!) and it's mostly limited to 3-8 frame pieces of pixel art, anyway. It's so refreshing to see such nicely animated content.

There isn't much I could suggest in lieu of this game aside from more content. Just as much content as you can muster in terms of a day in the life of this little bear. :) From waking up, to going to school, to coming home and playing, to getting ready for bed. Quality children's entertainment. :)

Very cute game =)

davient 2014-12-15 09:27

Really loved the storytelling aspect of this game. Especially the way that making a wrong choice can lead to some interesting parenting learning :) I'd love to see this expanded. The graphics and animations are great. Good job!

franklins-ghost 2014-12-15 12:45

Brilliant game with really nice animation. Absolutely loved playing through and seeing what the reactions were to the different options. Also liked how the clues were spread around the room. The cutest entry I've played so far, one of my favourites.

shackhal 2014-12-15 23:19

Good story, bro. Good story.

The graphics and animations are great. The gameplay have a nice flow with it and the background is useful. Also the music goes well with the gameplay.

Overall, I love the game :D

lereveur 2014-12-16 12:34

So sweeeeet ! Cute and effective, this was fun to play, very well done ! :D

HelkeGames 2014-12-16 15:10

Cute game! I love the concept ! Well done!

scam 2014-12-16 19:49

Cute and sweet. I loved it.

ruerob 2014-12-17 10:42

Fantastic cute game. I love the animations and the story is so cute. Very very well done! Thank you for making this game!!!

sakergames 2014-12-18 08:33

Cute game, I left the kid alone, and turned the lights off. :D

kain-oborin 2014-12-20 09:24

This was a really fun game for me to play cause it brought me out of my usual genre while still somehow retaining elements of most of the games I enjoyed. Keep up the great work! I hope to see more of what you do.

cardboard 2014-12-20 19:56

What an adorable game! The animations and graphics are splendid, and the story is very heartwarming. I took the objects in the background as hints to answer the questions, which worked wonders to lull my son to sleep. The game feels very polished, which helped create a nice little immersive atmosphere. Nice work!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-20 23:18

Really cute game! I Included it in part 12 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/Wy_mvMH2L7Q

d'awwwww
d'awwwwwwww
There really isn't much to say about this one - overwhelmingly cute, just lacking much content. It would be nice to see more scenarios or something.
Graphics were well done and audio was fitting.
Good job.

voxel 2014-12-21 22:25

Ahhhhhh too cute. I got really worked up expecting some kind of evil shocker ending and was so relieved when everything ended nicely. I love this more than I love dinosaurs and cookies <3

6 out of 5 stars

Cute. Not a lot of replay value, once you figure out the correct order in which to do things. It felt like there wasn't much skill involved, just guess and remember the outcome and try again for a better outcome the next time. It kindof felt like "Groundhog Day" getting it wrong several times in a row and having to try again.
