Good game.
The game itself is good, though no matter what you do someone is going to die at the end of it due to travel time from one station to the next. There is no way to keep everyone alive in the long run, just a matter of how long you can stave off losing. It does feel a lot like what being a parent is about except you don't get woken up randomly while you're sleeping XD
Great game!
Quite hard, but fun!
You pretty much captured what having your first child is like perfectly. Hats off to you Sir for that!
First my only negative point: the music gets a bid annoying after some time and it does not fit the mood or the graphics really well in my opinion. It's OK, though.
This is a great game. The mechanics are easy to understand, the graphics are gorgeous, really cute baby for a couple of pixels :-) Maybe it is just me having little kids myself that makes this game struck a nerve for me. I would always put the baby first and starve or die on an infection :-)
I love this art style, everything looks really clean. The controls are simple and work perfectly. I walk from A to B hitting SPACE like a mad man, just like I do in day-to-day life.
Really nice execution of the theme and a very cool game. I will have my wife play it now. Here is what she has to say:
---
What the heck - where is my wife?!
---
She made it to 128 seconds and then passed out ;-)
The rule is - when the baby sleeps you sleep! Also a dirty diaper is no problem, it can wait until the last minute. As I said, everything is pretty realistic :-)
Overall a great entry, good job!
