Where did this baby come from? Oh no! It's crawling toward that knife. Place barriers to keep it safe.

Great mechanic. It's like a crazy version of tic-tac-toe

Damn... to.. many. knives. Too. many. dead. babies.

I enjoyed your morbidly humorous take on this kind of puzzle game. Many babies met their deaths before I called it quits. Lets have a moment of silence, please.

I really enjoyed the smart level design, and outsmarting the pathfinding in the later levels felt great.

Good concept... edgy lol. But I really love the twist on the puzzle. Feels like the jump from the first to the second is a lot. Still great stuff. Poor babies.

Pretty funny game idea honestly, nice work coming up with it. Quite a challenging game too, I didn't even get past the second level after around 10 minutes of trying haha. Granted, I didn't use the undo, felt like it was cheating.

Interesting logic game. What I would add is some animations and overall graphics improvements. Hope you continue it and take it to App Store/Play :thumbsup:

So many dead babies... I'm ashamed to admit how long it took me to figure out the logic puzzle, but its a really fun and unique game... Maybe making the babies actions more predictable while increasing the challenge of the level would make for a more fun game :) But overall it was really fun!

One of my favorites so far! Clever design. Cool idea. Just enough content to have it playable. Very good!

Why are there so many knives!? I really liked it. Both the game play and the music. It felt a bit like playing hex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hex_(board_game)) against the baby.

The theme is a little dark but the game itself is very fun! It is easy to learn and understand the game, but hard to master. It looks great, but the music is slightly repetitive. Overall its a great quality game.

- There are a surprising amount of babies this game jam! And they all seem to be *really good* at dying.
- I like the mud mechanic! Certainly adds a twist to the "build walls to trap something" game type.
- Completion time: 4:03. I found myself using a "pocket" strategy for most of the levels, making the baby going between two gates, then placing a gate in front of the baby so that it's forced to backtrack a step, as demonstrated below:

Fun little puzzle game. Very clever mechanic. The soundtrack keeps the mood up. The game's actually quite challenging, but once you puzzle through a level it's very satisfying. Well done!

Great game, tricking the AI in the later levels is a lot of fun. The art is also oddly charming and complements the silliness of the story quite well.

Well done ! Nice concept here, with original graphics and an entertaining tune.
A bit difficult a first, but once we understand how the AI works, it's more fun ;)
I wouldn't like to live in your house if there are so many knifes on the floor :)
Big up!

Wow, I am bad at this game. Had my friend help me with level 2 and I was done after that. I'm sure this kind of game clicks with other people, but definitely not me.

Great concept! I couldn't fully understand how the baby moves, but had fun playing it.
