Easy to understand and play. Would of liked to have different levels instead of increasing difficulty. But its fun regardless! Good job!

I liked the concept and the art, however the gameplay is pretty weak. I also think it was unnecessary the blood at the end.

Nice game. I got to around 400 before deciding it wasn't getting hard enough fast enough, but I am definitely a fan of these simple diversions compared to some of the more complex jam games. My strategy was to always be looking a direction, even if there were no monsters present, because I figured I always had a 25% chance the next one to appear would be in that slot. Nice job.

Pretty easy to understand, looks cute but can get a bit old after a while, very nice overall.

Good illustrations, but would have benefitted from more animation. The monsters could have slowly slid out from under the bed instead of fading in. Sudden blood spatter and scream was kind of unsettling in a not so fun way (my ears hurt). Very cute interpretation of the theme though, more polish and it could be a great little game.

The voice overs are really fun. Maybe you could escalate the difficulty by having multiple beds going at the same time?

I like the idea, but there is to much blood and the gameplay could be improved.

Soo nice looking.
And fun with so many games focusing on kids.

Good going and keep doing what you do!

Very nice concept, music and art, but a little rough difficulty scale and simple gameplay.

Simple game. Did get repetitive rather fast. Played until I had a score of around 250 or so. Nice sound effects and good graphics.

Gameplay is a bit too simple , if you could add some deepness into it that would be great

Loved the art style! The gameplay got a bit tedious, though. Maybe make it harder?

Nice little game, if a bit repetitive. I did notice that if i hit the keys too fast in succession, the kid would go back to his neutral position and not go look at the edge i wanted him to.

I liked the concept and the art but the gameplay is soo easy that is not a challenge at all.

Busting monsters is pretty easy but very fun. Very good audio quality, and a super creative idea. Great job!

Nice use of the theme! It probably would've been a bit nicer looking if it was zoomed in a little. Most of the screen was just an empty room.

liked the concept. I had a difficult time loading the game data. maybe the server bandwidth is problematic, idk.
