I could not play :cry: I could not pick up the babies or interact with anything :'( Also the babies crying is the most unbearable thing I've ever heard :rofl:

:D What an eventful story! I guess I need a friend that does one of the roles to play with me. The game is really hard. I needed a few tries to figure out what to do and where to go exactly. But the premise is fun, I can see myself trying this one again to get to the end. I didn't really finish the whole pile of babies.

More complex than a lot of games on here! With local coop too! The babies crying are quite grating though

@aymco please try on itch.io in order to play. It does not work on ldjam.com for some reason. Still thank you for checking it out!

I loved the cutscene and the art style :). It took however a really long time for us to get unstuck from the babies. Maybe giving them no collision with the players would have made things a lot easier.

nice artstyle and story

The presentation was great, but the gameplay is absurdly difficult. Even on easy mode, it was just too ovewhelming. I do like the idea though and I think this could work but you need to ease in new mechanics instead of dumping everything on the player at once.

"Each baby has special demands, but it is not always clear what they need." Haha, so true. I really like the idea of how you need to manage all this chaos. There's a fun intrinsic motivation hidden in there that makes us think that we will somehow manage it (and some of us do!), no matter how realistic or unrealistic.

I also really liked the intro and sequences with the thieves... thought that the characterization was pretty good, and it's not always easy to polish that side of a game during such a limited time because good characters are all about depth, and creating that is time consuming. So I was quite impressed with that part. Overall, great job!

Very impressive that you were able to add a cutscene and flesh out the story so much! The game is quite challenging - maybe add a super-easy mode/ mode with infinite lives where players can practice?

I couldn't figure out what was going on. The screaming babies didn't help either.

Really cool that you made all those dialogues and story line, gameplay was also really fun. and very relaxing music in the midst of all this chaos lol.

Really cool game. The visual novel and coop aspects of it are very unique and ambitious. The art and music is very cute. Echoing what some other people have said I wish it was a bit clearer what the demands and requirements of the babies were. But overall a fun and cute game. It's a lot better with the easy difficulty.

unexpected but impressive intro story, sure makes the experience more memorable!

Cool two player, but agree with the "insane" difficulty. Love the idea and potential! Cops kept hiding under the houses and getting me

Interesting game - started with great setup (cutscene!) and then coop. That's not an easy feat within the given time frame.

The cops are insanely difficult to avoid though - they kept hiding behind houses and almost always got me very fast.

Good job!

Unforeseen consequence: I skipped the cutscene and spent the rest of the game thinking I played an abductor. Glad to find out I was wrong. The LD53 difficulty was impossible, did get a few kidnaps in on easy though. Great work.
