I understand how parental duties can make doing a game jam even more of a crunch, so this was a pretty impressive entry for what you got done. I love the art, SFX, and music.

I can definitely overlook the second participant on this compo game although nobody could argue if you also created your creative assistant from scratch within the time limit haha!  \n\nFor such a simple game concept, it keeps your attention for much longer than expected and is executed very well! I love the discovery of the different items and it really makes you want to go through and spend the time hearing all the different words.  \n\nThe scoring system keeps you engaged and makes me want to continue finding out what optimal baby crib is like. I was particularly entertained by the what seemed to be a lack of lower limit after scoring -610% ! I agree that having the functionality to delete items would make the game easier to figure out what the perfect crib is.  \n\nOverall, really fun entry and definitely unique, very impressive and polished for such a short time frame.
