BabySitter by Bastillas

made by Bastillas for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

You're a babysitter taking care of an... angry alien baby?

Survive long enough so the baby would sleep before the parents come! The mutant alien baby can teleport every 10 seconds, but it cannot control where so be careful, it can come from anywhere!

Controls:

Arrow Keys: Move

X: Sprint

Z: Interact with doors

Note: You cannot leave through the main door in the living nor the back door in the kitchen.

Interesting concept but definitely needs a few more mechanics to feel good. The house is really small and there's not a lot of room to weave around the alien if the spawns in a bad spot, so while planning can help you a little it ultimately comes down to chance. Also fun song

The song and the graphical style is really good for that retro aesthetic. Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with the general collision, and it makes the game far too unforgiving to be enjoyable.

There's something going on with the alien remembering the room it was in, which is cool. But again, with collisions as they are, it's too easy to get trapped in unwinnable states.

Also, as an aside, it would be nice to color code the doors that don't work or just don't include doors that don't open.

Also, as an aside aside, the default gray text on default light blue in Unity3D makes for extremely difficult to read instructions :(
