the controls are kind of hard for me, but I like the game, nice sound effects!

It took me awhile to get a handle on pushing the fetus around, and the conditions for when I could and couldn't grow my force-field weren't made clear, but I think you have a solid game jam game.

The game has a kind of scary vibe to it! It would be cool if the game would show when I can use my left click again.

Art and sound effects were really well made! Controls maybe were a bit finicky though. Still fun to play!

controls were a bit janky, but it wasn't a bad experience overall! Would have enjoyed it more if the whole thing felt a bit faster.

Controls are weird but overall I had fun playing it. I liked the creepy style and I've been surprised with the events happening while I was protecting the foetus. Well done !

Great art and very creepy aesthetic! I found your movement system quite interesting, having to balance how long I can move without "Overheating" and triggering a cooldown. Cool entry.

Grim theme! The controls were unusual but I liked it. I liked the sound tool. Doesn't seem like you put ratings available for it (maybe you didnt make it?) but in any case, I liked your taste of music. Nice job!

On the html version, unless you go fullscreen the foetus can be outside the camera but that's fine. The controls are quite unique but as everyone else has already said they're a bit funky, I loved the atmosphere and mood you created and it was a very unique idea to protect a foetus.

I liked the mood! Nice collision-based pushing mechanics! It takes some time to master them to avoid the dangers!

Creepy and challenging! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/YzvpDVUnHwU
