tomas-selmeci 2017-12-04 09:27

Thank you @zax for playing! This is my first ludum dare. I'm going to play your game right away!

Nice idea that fits well with the theme ! Despite the rather, "poor" art, the sounds and overall atomsphere really make for an interesting experience :) !

That is the my worst nightmare ^^ That's simple but effective :)

Oh god what a game :D Fun to play but it gets hard

filipe-leal 2017-12-04 10:46

This game made me feel anxious! Nice job! :)

matthias-schedel 2017-12-04 11:15

Really fun :) - the sidescrolling could be a little bit faster - And I love the sentence at the end about who also had the same amount of babies

jiri-hysek 2017-12-04 11:24

I had a similar idea but i dropped it.. I had enough playing this kind of game at home ;) Nice entry though!

Now when people ask why I don't want to be a parent, this is what I show them.

are-sundnes 2017-12-04 11:53

Haha! This was fun. And scary :S

I was a bit iffy on this game, then I died "you made it to 5 babies, just like shaquille o'neal" instantly playing it was all worth while and I went for another round.

To be critical, the scrolling was annoying more than cumbersome.

Thank for your review. I like this game and concept. I managed to have 6 babies, same as Steven Spielberg, Yey!

slashie 2017-12-04 13:03

I just had my first baby IRL. This looks challenging! :D

Thank you guys for playing my game! There are lines for up to 13 babies. Try if you can get there!

badly-drawn-rod 2017-12-04 14:38

Where am I finding the time to make all of these babies. I barely have enough time to give them the love they need.

2017-12-04 15:31

i liked it just try to choose a different sound for the babies please lol

gistnoesis 2017-12-04 16:08

To be played by teenagers in school as a contraceptive tool :) Fun little game.

fussenkuh 2017-12-04 16:52

Wow... simple concept implemented very nicely. The music set the mood well and the horrid baby crying was perfect. Doesn't really sounds like a baby, but, it certainly cashed in on the annoying sound factor! I couldn't get past 6 babies in the handful of rounds I played, but, I liked seeing the different random baby facts when I lost. They actually got me to lose early just to read them. The only thing that seemed a bit odd to me was that the graphics for the baby needs (food, love, poo) didn't really mesh with the rest of the game's graphics. Great job!

danielsoto 2017-12-04 16:53

oh god, so many babies for me haha

versatile-box 2017-12-04 21:22

Laughed out loud at the Steven Spielberg thing. That's a five on humor! The concept is super simple, yet really good and well executed.

Good job!

eerongal 2017-12-05 02:05

Oh god, that spamming of that baby scream is horrid. Fun game, though! Nice work!

chubby-stick 2017-12-05 07:01

Funny, what's worse than have to much babies ? :'(

kokirisandfriends 2017-12-05 12:56

WTF I have a family of babies now!!

pcmxms 2017-12-06 21:09

Made it to 6 babies, YEY!

mambojambo 2017-12-06 21:33

Haha, a really funny idea. I made it to 6 babies, like Steven :P I think that if you would develop the idea and design further that it actually could have been a great experience. Now however, I feel like the mechanic is too repetitive. The hard party is actually to scroll the camera so that you can see all the babies. If you ask me it would be preferable to see all the babies all the time. It would also be interesting to play around with different mechanics to give the babies their needs, it gets to repetitive and boring to just click. Overall a funny idea that got potential, but that is lacking in design and polish.

almost 2017-12-07 08:58

Whether or not the sound is accurate, it's definitely an annoying sound so I turned my volume way down.

I like the concept, and I liked trying to click frantically, but the scroll mechanic is slow and awkward. One alternative would be to zoom out as the number of babies increases. Another option would be to have a swipe mechanic (like a mobile game), or to have the camera move faster the closer your mouse is to the edge of the screen.

Nice game. It getting hard when baby starts show outside of the ​screen.
