It's cool to have many kids. But the more babies you have to take care of, the more problematic it gets. Try your parenting skills and see how many babies can you take care of!

Nice idea that fits well with the theme ! Despite the rather, "poor" art, the sounds and overall atomsphere really make for an interesting experience :) !

Really fun :) - the sidescrolling could be a little bit faster - And I love the sentence at the end about who also had the same amount of babies

Now when people ask why I don't want to be a parent, this is what I show them.

I was a bit iffy on this game, then I died "you made it to 5 babies, just like shaquille o'neal" instantly playing it was all worth while and I went for another round.

To be critical, the scrolling was annoying more than cumbersome.

Thank for your review. I like this game and concept. I managed to have 6 babies, same as Steven Spielberg, Yey!

Where am I finding the time to make all of these babies. I barely have enough time to give them the love they need.

To be played by teenagers in school as a contraceptive tool :) Fun little game.

Wow... simple concept implemented very nicely. The music set the mood well and the horrid baby crying was perfect. Doesn't really sounds like a baby, but, it certainly cashed in on the annoying sound factor! I couldn't get past 6 babies in the handful of rounds I played, but, I liked seeing the different random baby facts when I lost. They actually got me to lose early just to read them. The only thing that seemed a bit odd to me was that the graphics for the baby needs (food, love, poo) didn't really mesh with the rest of the game's graphics. Great job!

Laughed out loud at the Steven Spielberg thing. That's a five on humor!
The concept is super simple, yet really good and well executed.

Good job!

Haha, a really funny idea. I made it to 6 babies, like Steven :P I think that if you would develop the idea and design further that it actually could have been a great experience. Now however, I feel like the mechanic is too repetitive. The hard party is actually to scroll the camera so that you can see all the babies. If you ask me it would be preferable to see all the babies all the time. It would also be interesting to play around with different mechanics to give the babies their needs, it gets to repetitive and boring to just click. Overall a funny idea that got potential, but that is lacking in design and polish.

Whether or not the sound is accurate, it's definitely an annoying sound so I turned my volume way down.

I like the concept, and I liked trying to click frantically, but the scroll mechanic is slow and awkward. One alternative would be to zoom out as the number of babies increases. Another option would be to have a swipe mechanic (like a mobile game), or to have the camera move faster the closer your mouse is to the edge of the screen.
