Very nice and funny! Maybe the camera should have a more viewing angle, when I throw it hard it's hard for me to know where I am to catch it

This game was a great experience! The fact you had to balance out the angle and power of the baby while trying to keep up with it on the ground made it an excellent game! I love how it can be easy and hard at the same time depending on the player, if you want to go for a high distance you have to get good at knowing where you are in memory as you move your character. Overall this is a great game and you did a great job!
Being able to control the doctor to run after your "shot" really adds to the gameplay! Nice job!
A lot of fun here ! like @xema4789 the camera need to zoom/dezoom instead of folowin the baby to see where our player is. a great game !
Love the concept, but struggled to know where my doctor was when doing a long shot. Great soundtrack, nice work!
Very fun! Nice music and gameplay!
I am not quite sure what I played yet. I enjoyed it a lot though. I'm a very big fan of the soundtrack especially, very fitting for the game.
I used to love playing games like this as a kid! But you made it even better by being able to move the target. This was fun :) Loved it
nice game. great music and idea
Its hilarious, i like it a lot. My team and i had the same idea but went with a different game idea. Controls are easy to use. I didn't realize you could move the doctor till my second fail, then it became much easier. Great game, a lot of fun. Good job.
A very funny concept, and a good take on the theme. The fact that the camera follows the baby made it a bit difficult to catch high babies (maybe an arrow indicator where the doctor is would have been good), but it was still a funny and fun experience. The max height and distance stats at the end was great, as it motivated me to try some different techniques by the end.
Also, great baby sprite, and having it spin just added to the wackiness.
Edit: Forgot to say that I love the title; great stuff.
Really fun idea, pretty design, I like it.
I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD HEAR DELIVERY AND THINK BABIES
I had that idea too but I can't draw babies. You can though, didn't think of just drawing 1 sprite and rotating it lol. Great idea, and great take on the theme. I think you could've made the camera zoom out more when you shot a baby with a lot of power at a medium angle, I couldn't see the doctor trying to catch the baby until it was too late. But otherwise, the gameplay is fun, I had fun failing to catch falling babies. The art is nice, pixel art that isn't too high-res and complicated to take itself too seriously in an otherwise silly game.
Overall amazing game, and amazing take on the theme 'Delivery', just wish the camera zoomed out more.
Sehr cool XD :)
yay! another mother's day themed game. Our's is also about mother's day, just not becoming a mother ;) I'll play this when I'm at a windows machine and rate it!
Funny game, I enjoyed playing it.
This is hilarious and I love the art as well! I actually ALMOST made a game about delivery babies as well! But I decided to go for food instead haha. HOWEVER, well done, this is really fun and its cute haha just don't think too hard about dropping babies :P
Absolutely hilarious concept, definitely the funniest game I have played so far this jam! Loved every second of playing it!
I can't play it and rate it because I own Mac, but the screenshot is GOLD. I was looking for a submission like this.
@freakyzelga Mac builds are tricky :sob: need to figure out code signing and notarization. I'll try to see if I can get it working later this week.
This music is sick, how can I find it? :D
awesome job! our's is also mother's day themed, just not baby-focused ;)
Good job
@freakyzelga I finally got around to doing a Mac build if you're still interested in trying it out.
This was a fun and interesting take on the theme. I especially liked the gameplay variant of controlling both the "launcher" and the "catcher" parts of the game, it made for some interesting experimenting - one suggestion could be to make the camera zoom adjust more according to the force/angle used. The music matched the comedy of the game well, and the pixel-art was nice and clear.
Very fun game!
