nice

evolving 2020-04-20 07:32

Spent 15 minutes of my life) Pretty cool!

nerd-everyday 2020-04-20 08:21

Fun game, nice music, and fun sound effects. Good frantic action.

topbraj 2020-04-20 14:35

I'm a grade D poopy-space-dad-bot! Very addictive, very fun. Loved the sound design and the space poop flying around. By my second (proper) attempt I was absolutely mesmerised, focused on keeping my space babies alive. Excellent work!

zeggamer 2020-04-20 15:43

Fun game with a unique idea. I love the fact that you added a multiplayer element. I'll have to try that when given the chance!

david-bohan 2020-04-20 18:29

Awesome idea that fits the theme perfectly! Reminds me of Overcooked but with taking care of babies.

Graphics have a great theme, music fits the mood and the sound effects are spot on.

One of the best games I've played during this jam so far! Great work.

odeyalko 2020-04-20 19:25

Nice game, good luck!

mrvarren 2020-04-20 19:30

It was very fun! I loved it! I want to test it out with friends now!! You manage to do something fun, addictive and simple, simply brilliant!!

astrolabe 2020-04-20 21:10

Nice game, really fun!

Good tutorial for future parents :P

lvl76blastoise 2020-04-21 05:26

Awesome game! This is my favorite one I've played so far!

I kept playing until I got an A!

oldblack 2020-04-21 09:27

Great game. Had me laughing quite a lot. Well executed, decent graphics and audio.

Only criticism would be: the graphics could spruced up, particularly how the background is handled, and the cries could be varied.

diinki 2020-04-21 12:00

Really cool idea and implemented well, overall great stuff. Only thing I can suggest is more variety for audio/music, more misc art added, such as a background poster on the wall, but really nothing crucial for the jam I am just trying to come up with suggestions. Great game! :D

jonrei 2020-04-21 21:15

Amazing game! Ive learned that id be a horrible parent

kaelxd 2020-04-21 21:18

sound fx was on point and being able to throw the baby into space is hilarious lmao

terry 2020-04-22 04:08

Loved the sounds effects :smile:

keybol 2020-04-22 10:27

I like how creative the game is. I can throw the baby to space lol. It looks like it's gonna be a fun multiplayer game. It reminds me of Overcooked. I also like how you make a simple task like taking care of babies and adding some science fiction stuff to it like robots and space. I find it very hard to understand how changing of diapers work. Babies crying also get to become annoying but I get that, it gets the players' attention. Aside from that, the humor is there, the controls is perfect, speed is perfect. I will definitely play it again and see what happens if I reach the timer's end.

krassenstein 2020-04-23 16:26

This was a cool take on the theme. For some reason, when I became a father, I'm unable to see the message "Baby: blahblah has died" without thinking of my own kids and getting queasy. Haha.

Great game though! Definitely close to how it feels with multiple kids, would be nice to have a way to craft diapers, although you're in space with zero communication to the outside world.

fatsheep 2020-04-23 21:13

Fun and chaotic gameplay, especially with a friend!

drums 2020-04-23 21:15

You nailed all of the categories! I loved the physics and details you put into it. It felt and sounded great too. Thank you for making this!

aurel300 2020-04-24 13:23

We streamed your game with Danae: [link to Twitch VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/598538752?t=00h07m47s) (approximate timestamp)

Well done, very Overcooked-like. Swapping items could have been a nice improvement (for example, interacting with a washing station that has finished while holding dirty diapers could swap the two items). The clutter is to be expected in a chaos management game like this, although I am not so sure about the walls obscuring a lot of the view. While playing I think I noticed that the "need" indicator for a baby showed one need (change diapers), then it switched to the more recent need (feed) – but immediately after feeding the baby it showed the less recent need, now in red. I think more recent needs should never obscure less recent (more urgent) needs!

1punnyguy44 2020-04-25 01:12

Great game! one of the my favorite takes on the theme yet. The camera was a bit weird at first and its a bit to hard to grab stuff but those were my only problems. everything else was solid!

ursagames 2020-04-25 06:15

Schön seit dem RocketBeans MiniJam wieder ein lustiges Spiel von dir zu sehen. Das Spiel ist echt schön chaotisch und die Roboter bestimmt ordentlich entschaltkreist^^. Ich weis nicht ob man sagen sollte, dass man die, schön mit dem Mund gemachten, Soundeffekte vielleicht etwas mehr in einem Audacity gequält gehört sollten, weil sie irgendwie schon sehr zum Humor und der Stimmung beitragen.

jon-arvin-medalla 2020-04-25 21:02

I’m The Who played it on stream the Spelkollektivet stream! 10/10 would throw a baby into the vacuume of space again!

designernap 2020-04-26 11:55

Wonderful! :D loved it! Really great fun, wonderful music and full on panic :)

emmyoop 2020-04-26 19:41

Mac download failed twice. The actual download. Will try again later in case it's itch.

andidebob 2020-04-26 20:41

@emmyoop failed as in you could not play it, or you could not even download it? Because somebody else had a problem downloading the game before and it seemed to have been itch's fault. So if that's the case maybe just try again.

And since I am writing a comment now anyways I want to thank everybody who has so for rated and played my game! This is the most fun I had watching people play my game in a long while and I am actively working on the game because of that, so thank you.

sypdev 2020-04-27 15:43

Really nice game! I love overcooked and you did a great job with this game! Hope you continue the development!

savvu 2020-04-27 16:00

Very entertaining game! The robot reminded mw a bit of Wall-e haha! The sound effects are very funny too!

acidmanrpgz 2020-04-28 03:57

Not particularly unique, but that isn't your fault. The music and sound design was great, but the "alarm" which I take it was just you going "brrr brrr brrr" gave me a jumpscare. But it was very resourceful! I had fun playing it, although I had no Idea what I was supposed to do :laughing:

eduardogacn 2020-04-28 05:24

nice game!

ikrad 2020-04-28 10:07

I enjoyed the game, but it was a bit too hard for me. But I guess I'm a noob.

siryakko 2020-04-28 12:52

I'm a father and quite francly don't know if my life is a game or not haha. Nice entry :D

blue-pin-studio 2020-04-29 09:26

Great game! I managed to get to the end but got a very bad grade because i had not enough time to clean all of my garbage. One area you could improve is perhaps making it either impossible to throw out a diaper or make it Game Over when you throw out a diaper, without the second diaper it would be very difficult :P

barwani 2020-04-30 09:19

Really fun! Great graphics and audio! It captures a really hectic vibe which i really enjoyed. Well done!

alexfsmirnov 2020-04-30 15:18

Super fun! The music and sound effects are amazing and graphics is just top notch :ok_hand: That's an incredible amount of details and polishing you put there, nice job! I mean, take the "Instructions" screen - such a minor thing, but looks and feels completely polished. This might as well be the best-looking game of the jam I've played so far. Well done!

P.S. My God, screaming babies are annoying :smile:

khaotom 2020-04-30 15:47

This is fun and funny! I like how frantic it becomes, really throws you into the fire right off the bat. No slow tutorials, perfect! I didn't bother reading the instructions until after I played a few times. It wasn't too hard to figure out what to do after a bit of trial and error. The game loop is fast so it's easy to experiment and figure things out. I also thought the sounds were fantastic. Nothing gets you motivated to do the work like the grating sound of a crying baby, right? Good job on this!

rroni 2020-04-30 16:44

my god is it annoying to have 3 babies crying at the same time :joy: had fun though! nice project :)

asfdfdfd 2020-04-30 19:23

With additional work it may be nice co-op game. Babies crying out my brains. And this dramatic music.

sheldonzs 2020-05-01 01:18

Great touch making a co-op mode! Managed to get through with a D grade. It's kind of hilarious how you can tell all the sounds were made with mouth noises. Gameplay is smooth, and unlike overcooked, you can actually work your way around your partner rather than constantly running into eachother

drunk-wizard 2020-05-01 15:48

Absolutely great, everything fits together really nicely and the difficulty curve rises steadily throughout the game, got me sweating by the end :D really nice job :)

crumblybread 2020-05-01 21:08

This is so good! I would love to make a game of this standard :laughing:

P.S. There is just never enough diapers!!

probe31 2020-05-02 04:10

Good entry, spacial babys crying ! I felt I needed more information on what to do.

fabula-rasa 2020-05-06 09:54

So cool and surprisingly engaging. And now it's decided: never having one of those little nightmares :laughing:

Very competently made game. I noticed no bugs or strange behavior. Graphics were cool and clean, audio was great. Very good job!

2020-05-06 16:51

Chaotic game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/p2lUl96x8_U

elysiagriffin 2020-05-09 18:37
