You should mention the controls. I figured out that arrow keys move you, space to restart, and shift to transform.
And how do I reach the baby? I move to the left, and off-screen, but the camera doesn't follow...And the monster controls are a bit unusual, is it meant to be a floaty ghost? Nice concept though :D

Thanks for the feedback varuns. See for the controls right above, in the description of the game. You can move the camera itself (note how the background moves a little slower which is so cool :D) by pressing J or L ect.

The controls should be explained in game, and should be less finicky. Instead of J and L, the camera could be controlled with the arrow keys or just autoscroll.
Restart should definitely not be on spacebar! I accidentally restarted a couple of times instead of shifting.

The wall/ceiling climbing mechanic was the best, and I liked the fact that the parents could not see you if you were above them.

This is a very cool game. Graphics are pretty and the game mechanics work. It also perfectly fits with the theme. There is a few physics bugs but it's totally playable. I'll try the second ending of the game !

It's not a bug - it's a feature :D

The art was charming and nice, it had a nice sense of humor, and the gameplay was good. I might want to suggest a different control scheme however. It got a bit difficult to use...

Nice idea, but couldn't finish because the dad got stuck on top of the stairs.

An interesting idea but the camera & restart controls are a little awkward
