I see you interpreted the theme in the same say I did! This is a pretty funny idea. Is there any way to beat it though, or do you just try to evade the hand until you eventually get born?

There is no ending. I had some ideas for one but sadly ran out of time to implement them.

garrote + spiral pattern is OP. great interpretation of the theme! I would love to see a more polished version of this!

You have a good idea, the only think that i can say is that the game is too eazy and too repetitive (in my opinion that child has 90 lives more that i would expect)

Did I expect to fight another baby in the womb today? No, I have to say that I did not.
Did I like it? Yes sir!
Interesting game, very fun! It's the weirdest game by far.
The gameplay... is alright, I either resulted to just spiraling and winning everything or trying something else and not doing anything.

I knew someone would use the theme in that sense but I never imagined this type of game ahah. It's pretty fun and a much different interpretation of the theme we usually see. Congrats for your entry :D

When you hit the other babies at the same time they try to hit you, they just win the tie. Had to restart to get the garotte upgrade.

I LOVE this game, best mechanics and feedback so far, I love the little animation when mouse on the upgrade button, and the simple mechanic is incredibly amazing to play.

Lovely and quite disturbing :D
I like the way you interpreted the theme, and the physics behind it all !
Well done

We thought about making a game themed around delivering a baby, but couldn't come up with anything. You clearly showed us that there are some good ideas to be had in that area! Pretty fun, overall. My best was level 24! I would have loved to see the game slowed down a bit because it gets quiiiiiite chaotic once the other evil fetuses show up and there is stuff all over the play field. Some squishier sound effects would have been a welcomed addition, too. But overall, it played well and I had a good time with this one. I definitely like your sense of humor with this entry.

This was crazy. There was so much going on, I had no idea what I was doing most of the time. Spin to win for the win :D

That was a bizarre experience. Kind of weird and gross. I like it. It took me a while to figure out how to play, and when there's a lot of stuff on screen it kind of turns into a button masher, but the visual polish and variety of gameplay is quite impressive.

Very strange game! I enjoyed it though and liked it for the first while. It did go for a long time though and didn't seem to advance beyond the initial idea. At the end I was just running in circles over and over and that was pretty effective. The art was really interesting though.

Interesting idea. I thought it had some potential. It just went on forever and I felt I got the gist of the game fairly quickly. Nice work.
