Nice game. I don't particularly like horror, but by itself it's pretty good. I like the art. I think the mechanics get kind of dull after a while.
I also think it's weird how you get multiple bottles of milk in the same place. Also, it's be nicer if the music changed at night, or maybe even was silent.

I don't like spooky games. And this was no exception, but it was pretty neato and kind of funny.

Thanks for your feedback !
@bean, I wanted to change the music but we ran out of time for that and for a few polish. :/

So far, one of best games from this jam. It's fun to play and to flee.
Just collisions should be less hard, I'm always hurting to wall when I want to open a door.

nice one! that moment when it turns into a demon though... wasn't expecting this at all lol. I thought there will be another level with more needs.

didn't feel like playing to finish after I died twice though. did not want to wait again for night to come...

but this is what I like about jams. you dont know anything about the game it will surprise you! good job, nice art music and everything!

The night part felt a bit unfair, as it was quite difficult to know where the demon baby was until it was right up close to you, at which point it was too late to run. But otherwise some pretty solid gameplay and nice art and sound assets! The flashlight at night looked cool, would you like to share how the light effect works (2D or 3D light, custom or built-in, etc.)?

Really fun idea! I got legitimately spooked the first time that the lights went off and the baby transformed! I though the gameplay was a bit tough, and that the days were a little long. I only ever made it to night #3, and stopped trying to get a perfect playthrough because the days last so long.

The atmosphere was very good! I was fully tense during the nights, frantically looking in all directions to see if the baby was coming. Great art too: the perfect kind of cute to become creepy.

Well done!

Wow one of the best games I have seen in this jam, maybe the best!

Wow Wow Wow That's game is Just Wow! 5/5 on Everything! The Art is beautyful! Controllers are Pretty good, just 2 problems in the game, camera movement is laggy, and sometimes milk bottles are spawning at the same place. so you take a milk bottle and there is anoter milk bottle in the same place. best Game I've played till now and the only one i Preferred to download. that game have so much potential wow. if it will be more bug fixed and on steam, I'm sure A lot of people will buy that.

Awesome entry. I love the art for the baby in the corner. And being able to listen for the (demon?) baby when it's chasing you is a great touch.

Hey! The game is fun but so hard at night! I really like the music graphics and baby sounds! The Level Design is also very nice. I just think that night is too hard :/.
Still very nice Game Jam entry!

Congratulations on your very enjoyable entry, but please warn me the next time before giving me a heart attack. The night part conveyed proper anxiety :smile:. Your art style is very versatile, from cute to gruesome, and the music really motivates you to keep running. Apart from milk bottle spawning logic sometimes behaving weirdly, and the baby being a wee bit too fast, I think the mechanics are very well polished and fun to play. Great job!

I enjoyed a specific cartoony style that your graphic has. I'm curious to see how the player sprite could've looked in isometric view (bird view makes it makes it hard to create a interesting sprite). For a first jam entry it's really solid, next time I would work towards introducing new elments on next days/nights, as I kept hiding in a garden each night which made me safe but made gameplay a little boring.

🎤 Nurk

25. Apr 2020 · 12:32 UTC

Thanks ! @gurkenlabs I haven't the time for polish the milk spawn but it's for a post jam update maybe. Sorry for your heart attack ! xD || @sztobar Thanks ! We wanted to add some easter eggs and goals for more exploration but the time was against us. :p For the garden, Rodolf go randomly anywhere. If you are safe, it's juste RNG. xD I will work more on AI next time. :)

For me this a really hard game to give feedback and rate. I wish I would really have loved this game, but I do not. It is no way a bad game, but when I see the screenshots I kinda expected something more interesting. The gameplay is okay, but I wish there was more to do. The games visual style is overall pretty good, but the main character do not look totally right for rest of the games visual style. The games music is also pretty good, but it kinda feels too scary in the day time, and not scary enough when it is night.

Overall is the game not bad, but I hoped it was better. This is perhaps more my issue, then it is a issue with the game.

Super funny and enjoyable entry you made there. It was fun to take care of this Rodolf and some aspect of the game were really hilarious. Awesome graphics and audio, it fits the game well ! It feels like a crossover between hotline miami and the sims ahah. Good job especially for your first jam ever !
Bravo à vous pour cette première game jam réussie :)

@jk5000 I don't know what can I say. Can you give me some example for do better ? It's my first jam experience so I learned a lot. Next time, I do better ! || @pietro-ferrantelli Thank you ! Merci beaucoup. :p || Thank you too @molpe, It's very interessant to see someone play. You never use Sprint so the game become pretty hard. :fearful:
