Died of starvation. Would not be able to take care of a baby. I like the mood, it's hard as intended I guess. Good job!

Died of starvation. Would not be able to take care of a baby. I like the mood, it's hard as intended I guess. Good job!
Really nice concept
Love the music
Tough and fun!
My 500+ hours of Sims experience is finally paying off... by ignoring the annyoing toddler altogether. Good game.
Very nice game!
My first reaction is that it very much reminded me of the Sims. The concept was good, I liked the music but with audio clipping when it reached the end of the loop and being very much the same I quickly tired of it.
The game itself is good, though no matter what you do someone is going to die at the end of it due to travel time from one station to the next. There is no way to keep everyone alive in the long run, just a matter of how long you can stave off losing. It does feel a lot like what being a parent is about except you don't get woken up randomly while you're sleeping XD
So tough! Love the idea and the simple graphics. Only thing missing for me was some walking animation
Nice game, but feels like can you be mommy, not daddy
Nice take on the theme!
Quite fun! I wish there was a timer during playing and it was a bit tougher. However, it was super fun figuring out how to interact with the environment to see what would increase energy, hunger, and hygiene. Very clever. Keep it up!
Very cute! Very hard as well, seems realistic.
I found it a bit boring quite fast but it's well done, and the discovery part is fun! Keep it up ;)
Hard to raise a kid and take care of yourself :) Solid entry
I have felt identified !!! Hahaha Great game!
Nice idea! Some little things are not really easy to understand. Trying to identify how to eat was not as easy as I excepted for example.
Quite hard, but fun!
As a father can confirm, that's how it's going. Nice game!
313 seconds. Just like in real life. The throughput of babies in this house...!
You pretty much captured what having your first child is like perfectly. Hats off to you Sir for that!
First my only negative point: the music gets a bid annoying after some time and it does not fit the mood or the graphics really well in my opinion. It's OK, though.
This is a great game. The mechanics are easy to understand, the graphics are gorgeous, really cute baby for a couple of pixels :-) Maybe it is just me having little kids myself that makes this game struck a nerve for me. I would always put the baby first and starve or die on an infection :-)
I love this art style, everything looks really clean. The controls are simple and work perfectly. I walk from A to B hitting SPACE like a mad man, just like I do in day-to-day life.
Really nice execution of the theme and a very cool game. I will have my wife play it now. Here is what she has to say:
--- What the heck - where is my wife?! ---
She made it to 128 seconds and then passed out ;-)
The rule is - when the baby sleeps you sleep! Also a dirty diaper is no problem, it can wait until the last minute. As I said, everything is pretty realistic :-)
Overall a great entry, good job!
Loved the music and the fact that no matter what you do sooner or later everyone dies.
280 seconds, man this game is stressful and hard haha, now I don't want a baby! Very nice game, good art style, concept and well put together.
This was stressful! 141 sec. just like real life! :) good job! the game was good and all the basics was there. It was fun, maybe a little bit hard to survive. but the game needs to end so it might have been good balance. I had fun! thanks!
