PARENTHOOD by LanaLux
A very realistic simulation of raising a baby.
This is a tower defense meets Tamagotchi style game. What will your baby grow up to be?

I checked up on your stream every now and then while making my own game. You almost made me want to learn 3d art. you made it look deceptively easy...
I liked the game :)
Controls are spot on, I would maybe want a tad longer range on pushing buttons - just a smidge.
Visuals are great, audio too - I wish I was in your stream when you made the ambiance sound.
Cheers for rating my game too :)
PS: Parenthood? Completed it, mate.
Mobs came a bit too fast to handle, so died after a few minutes.
But was the only game that actually gave me adrenaline so far.
A healthbar on the opponents would be good, or at least another kind of indicator showing that your are dealing damage.
Sadly i did not manage to ge enough points to build a tower (actually 2) so that the baby did not got any damage. Is there a way?
Phenomenal work for 48 hours... The modelling on the baby alone! Also like this pressing mood the game exudes. It really is immersive in a weird way and works fantastic as a metaphor (I think).
Fantastic stuff overall!
