I managed to get 9! Fun game :) I like how the destinations get further away the more babies you deliver, it adds a nice difficulty curve

Got 7 chubby babies into their purple beam of safety. Dropped the other 2 :( Who knew storks had it so tough?

I was charmed by the art, both execution and choice of things. The drone rocking back and forth was spot on. The gameplay was very simply, which is good for a 48 hour jam. I would have liked a little more skill challenge, like perhaps dropping the baby at just the right point to hit the target home. Although perhaps that might have made things too grim? Maybe have the baby deploy its diaper like a parachute in the case of a miss.

Oh, this might be trivial, but I really like it when a LD game doesn't require me to go full screen. Nice work right-sizing your viewport/canvas to fit easily on my screen. It is always a bummer when I have to full screen just to play an underwhelming game. Not the case with this one.

Good entry!

I delivered 8 babies on my second playthrough. The first playthrough, I was silly and didn't read the instructions and flew right past the drop-off. I was wondering how far the baby needed to go, haha! I liked this theme as an interpretation of 'delivery'. Controls were intuitive. It was very fun to play!

Thats fun! I just missed a music to make me play longer

Managed to deliver 9 babies. Not terrible! Got the nice difficulty curve with final destination getting further and further away. You could make an endless mode where you have to deliver babies and more and more stuff is filling your screens, I bet it would get realy intense soon. :)

Classic take on the theme. Good job. FYI, I was able to fly off the left side of screen for what seemed indefinitely.

The difficulty ramps up at a nice pace, I like the variation in the enemies as well. Interesting that you have to go back as well to get a new baby. Nice game, I enjoyed it!

This a super simple and pretty fun little game. Easy to learn and easy to play. Too bad is has not sound effects or music. Overall a pretty good compo game. Well done.

Somehow I missed the instruction that said I needed to go back to the beginning to pick up a new baby. Instead I thought the arrows pointed me in the direction of the next baby. But once I figured that out, I managed to successfully deliver a couple of babies! Nice entry, easy to learn and fun to play!

Nice, an easy to understand and fun game! The art has a lot of personality. Some funny sound effects and music would be a good addition in the future.

Fun little game ^^ I really liked the graphics and the art style! The different obstacles are really funny and made me laugh :D

richard-baltrusch 2023-05-06 19:07

Delivered 9 babies :) Fun game, really dig the cohesive art style and the (double) delivery take on the theme :)

A simple and easy-to-learn game with rich content. I like those drones that wobble around like they're drunk, as long as they don't crash into me lol. Well done, and I look forward to more of your work!

Liked the hand drawn art-work. That was neat. Enjoyed playing the game :v:
