:thumbsup: **What I liked:** ✱ Overall technical realisation ✱ hard challenge of doing online game :D ✱ Fun ! ✱ Instant board in ✱ Earth population counter

:muscle: **What imo could be improved:** ✱ Graphics get the job done but could be fancier. ✱ Theme interpretation is great but is not conveyed by game rules (the more baby you come across the easiest it is to win), so the pitch line "Children, the more you have, the worst it is" does not really work.

:sparkles: **Overall** ✱ Fun entry! If there is some planned online session let me now (tweet !) I'll join =D

Thank you for the feedback! Currently working on server improvement for a postjam version.

Didn't had enough time to work on graphics and sounds.

It's kinda exciting while playing... though a little hard to keep up with. Making your char a slightly different color than everyone else would help.

Interesting concept for a game and executed pretty well. Using dirty nappies as a trap is interesting, especially since they can be hard to tell apart from the clean ones you need. I would've like it for the other items to have their own unique ability too. The graphical style is simple but suits the game well. Some sound would be nice, though.

Ok game but the collisions was a bit off. Sometimes you could run trough a baby and another player and sometimes not. sometimes also you could be stuck between babies. Some sound would have been nice also. Cool with multiplayer option but no players :(

Instructions were lacking. Luckily, the gameplay was simple enough. Didn't play online, and the AI didn't seem very smart because I thought I was doing terrible, yet I almost always ended up in first place. The dirty diapers/traps seem like an interesting mechanic, but I didn't find it very useful against the AI.

The idea is definitely original, and I think it's awesome you were able to implement multiplayer. Good job!

Well excellent theme :) As a parent the theme itself sells me the game :) I like the control and the experience but for such a time attack game you can not be super precise > definitely something can be done with this theme, maybe move your robot with charge/dash, or a slingshot , and relax the time limit a bit ? Glad I played this , a good ludum dare game (scope / size ).

Funny agar-io-like game. It took me a while to understand the goal. Nice touch or humor though, and congrats for making a multiplayer game, this is technically very impressive!

Always impressed with network entries and compo on top of that! Funny idea, wish there was some music or sfx even though it would probably just sound like a fart factory.

This was hilarious and I'm also impressed you managed to add a multiplayer mode too! Pretty fun to play, humorous, and fitting the theme!

Underlying mechanics are good and nice work with the multiplayer. Presentation and game feel need work though. Could really use a full-screen option.
