maybe not the best as for three days, but definitely have fun playing with my brother :)

I really like the game, specially the music, good game. But it could be made better in 3 days.

Hey! It's not bad, we have fun playing! I hope I'll never give birth a baby as big as this one, hahahah!

Very cool multiplayer game! I had a lot of fun playing it with... ahh.... myself?

I liked the idea of volleyball with a baby. I played it with my younger brother and we enjoyed it, however, there was no ending to the game which made it feel like it was missing something. Maybe you could add this in Don't Kill The Baby 2?

Haha, this was funny to play. I find the upbeat music while you juggle a baby to be pretty hilarious. The bright pixel art style adds to the dark humor of the game as well. While your game is simple, it was fun to interact with.

Also, you answered the age old question of "How can we make Pong better?" For eons, a solution remained shrouded beneath societal boundaries and crooked politicians seeking only to restrain the truth. Until one righteous hero, Snarkusius, walked fearlessly into the wicked darkness only to return unscathed with an answer: "Babies."

I'm always down to play Pong with Babies.

Fun game to play with your friends that you can't meet because social distancing!

Really cool game!

It reminded me of the classic online blobby volley game (that I have spent way too much time playing with my friends in the past :P ) but with much better pixelart graphics and relaxing music instead of annoying whistle sounds. The way the baby spins while flying through the air does not only look hilarious, but also adds a whole new level of intensity because it makes the bounces more unpredictable. I also love those small details like the ghosts appearing when the baby touches the floor.

This is a game you can be really proud of, especially since it's one of your first games! I hope you keep enjoying game development and participating in game jams! I would also be really happy, if you checked out our game and tell us what you think :)

The concept is a bit weird and I don't particularly like the graphics but the game is pretty fun, well done :)

Could have been funnier. You definitly put some effort in the pixel art and the graphics. The audio is great. Maybe there could have been more game mechanics, because the game feels a bit "empty". Maybe some kind of power up or debuff ? One thing that made me laugh is the baby spinning crazy. It really feels like it is one of your first games, but for a starting point it is not bad at all. I hope you learned a lot making this game and I want to see your progress with your next games :)

I feel like the core of this game is pretty good! At first the floaty-ness of it was a bit weird, but it actually works really well :)! Nice work!

An interesting game. Here is the video of me playing it (alone though...)

The game is quite nice but the players controls feel weird and it holds the game back. The music was nice but some sound effects would have made the game pop.

All in all a nice game with a cool spin on the theme.

(The link to the game says source code instead of game or something similar)

What a fun little game! I recognise myself in this, as the youngest brother in my family. The game instantly put a smile on my face, its very charming, I like the art style and it was overall just an enjoyable experience. Good job!
