This was the funnierst thing I played in quiet a while. The camera movement is quiet weird, but I can't stop giving the baby what it wants. :smile: Thanks for that contribution to the world, you made my day.

The graphics are funny. Did not understand to hold the space bar instead of only pressing it first, but after that it was quite entertaining :)

I don't know what just happened but it was amazing. Love the art :)

Those graphics really add up to the humor. Really cool!

I absolutely _loved_ the art and music in this submission. Throwing babies has rarely been this satisfying.

This was a lot of to be honest! I just kept throwing the baby, wondering by myself, why did I do that? 😅

Love the presentation! Well done!

Fun! The camera zooming in on the baby was confusing, but otherwise I really enjoyed it!

I mean I don't know what I was expecting, but I didn't realize I was going to drop babies today. This legitimately made me laugh, thank you.

Hej där sverige! Stop throwing your babies around, please. I know there are cultural differences but this is a bit extreme.

Holy **** man, that dropping animation and the tears - that gets to you!

I love the graphics, jittery and hand-drawn, really cool style. It is unique and interesting. Good job!

The gameplay feels random. I see what the baby wants when I do not throw it but when I do, it sometimes comes right back, sometimes it zooms in, then out and keeps going up - but why. Then it flies so high that I see more of the world than exists. All very strange.

As funny the idea is and as original of an art style, the world feels pretty empty. There is no floor, the background is very basic. Why are we alone in the tundra with our baby in the first place? :-)

When I let the baby puke the screen all green I have to reload the page to restart the game - there is no game-over screen or any way to restart the level from within the game.

The music does not fit the scene. It is a nice sound track but it feels very generic due to the fact that the graphics and music do not go along at all (in my opinion).

Sometimes I drop the baby although I do nothing differently. I go some place, stop, charge, throw and wait for it to come back. Then sometimes it falls right through my hands. There might be a floating point issue in your code.

Overall a funny entry, for the fact that it is a bold joke to make. But next time you may want to expand on the mechanics and maybe make them clearer to the player and more intuitive.

Good job, keep up the great work. I am looking forward to more hand-drawn game jam pearls in the future :-D

Lol.

Maybe the throwing could be in an arc, so you couldn´t just stand in the same place to catch the baby

asier 2020-04-30 21:20

Wow!!! Such a nice art! Congrats! :D I liked it a lot jajajaja Very nice!

tigerfinch 2020-04-30 21:32

Ha, this was weird, disturbing and fun all in a good way.

Cool aesthetics and animation style!

A little bit hard to control and sometimes very quick animations, but the concept is interesting and definitely worth continuing working on!!

Well done!

The camera zooming on when you collect ice cream is pretty jarring at first. Other than that, I found the game hilarious and fun to play. Great work.

Whoah that got really dark in a hurry :joy: I love the disturbing, yet funny writing and art style! Good job!
