We would all be dead! I liked the concept, but I also felt that at times the forced camera angle before and after placing objects did not allow me to grasp the full situation. The level that seemed to be the worst culprit of this was the one with the piano. I couldn't even tell everything that was going on there, and for some reason, what I could see didn't seem consistent. Sometimes the car would go toward the piano and baby, and sometimes it wouldn't.\n\nOverall, though, this was a neat idea that just needs more polish.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"henrycgs","author_uid":"1085075","time":"2020-04-22T00:12:24Z","epoch":1587514344,"modified":1587514344,"text":"This was actually really fun!

It has quite the appeal and was a lot of fun.  \nThere are a few problems though:  \nThere seems to be a bug with levels sometimes not resetting correctly.  \nSometimes it is hard to gain on overview of the events happening when they unfold due to the fixed camera angle. I'd suggest making it moveable in that stage of the level, or show more of what's happening.  \nI gave up on the piano level, because it felt just too random. I could get the car to fly over the baby and bounce the piano away, but then it turned around... (which was actually quite the hilarious moment the first time, but not anymore on the fifth try ^^). If you have a hint on how to beat this level I'd gladly play the remaining levels. (kudos for having the progress be saved when you quit!)  \nI imagine a 'casual' mode could help, where you have all the time in the world to setup the objects, and after failure they don't reset again, so you can make those tiny adjustments that can make all the difference.  \nI didn't hear any of the linked music in the game, is that a bug or intentional? (you didn't opt out of the audio category, which would've probably been the way to go if you used music from external sources).  \nAnyway, all that criticism is just meant to be constructive, and I had a lot of fun with the game nonetheless!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Barbiche","author_uid":"1011202","time":"2020-04-25T17:34:43Z","epoch":1587836083,"modified":1587836083,"text":"SO COOOOOOOL hahahaha send some times to see a baby die was so awesome haha\nIt was great, thank you for this game guys ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"spiralhalo","author_uid":"1204080","time":"2020-04-28T09:25:10Z","epoch":1588065910,"modified":1588065910,"text":"Dayum everyone hates that baby..
