Eating babies while lookin' like a spider. Truly being a monster. Also very hilarious.

It was simple but I had a surprising amount of fun with this. The animations and sound made eating each baby or disregarding shit satisfying.
The keyboard controls didn't work for me and using the mouse made it much harder.

Goofy and fun, as much as child eating can be I guess.

The keyboard controls could be refined bit.
Pressing left, towards the monster, should eat, while pressing down, towards the floor, should discard.

At the moment I keep discarding babies on accident. What a waste!

Baby: the other OTHER white meat. Baby: it's what's for dinner.

So simple but still pretty entertaining. I found myself laughing at the concept of sorting out babies and eating them.

Super hilarious ! The keyboard controls didn't work, and the mouse didn't work well either (i had to click several times but maybe tha's just my laptop :/). But that's a funny game :D

This game is clearly a critique of social segregation and consumerism. Monster in a suit(!) obviously represents the middle class preying on the young generation (babies) delivered to him by conveyor belt - symbol of hard labour. Is our children future to be mindless drones in factories of the rich?

...

HAHA, NOPE. It's a game where you LITERALLY EAT BABIES. There's not much to the gameplay and visuals are very raw, but hilarious concept kinda makes up for it.

Pretty fun! It needs a little more responsiveness when you press a button.

Great fun! More difficult than you realise, I think this would work amazing as some kind of bizarre rhythm action game!

Haha, this is a funny game. I liked the eat animation and it was pretty funny trying to go as fast as I could skipping anything but the babies!!! :D

Oh dear.

Actually, this would be much more fun if you didn't have to wait for the animation/delay for eating babies. That way you can eat babies without stopping.

...i can't believe i just said that.

Love the graphics! Cool game. I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/isROeWsQRB8

Quite crazy! Imho, I would have let the hunger bar grow when you are skipping babies (because you are not eating) so you are in a hurry to skip faster to get to the babies.
As it is now you always have the same amount of time to react to each "turn".
Also it doesn't make sanse to satisfy the hunger while you are not eating.
