Baby Printer

Race to deliver as many babies on time as possible and get a good stork rating! Good luck! It's tough out there as a baby delivering stork!

Embedded Player

I'm struggling to get the embedded player working but you can play on itch if you don't want to play the windows or mac builds https://evwgames.itch.io/baby-printer

Controls

WASD to move.

Assets

All assets were created from scratch other than: - Stork & baby bundle image - ran out of time to make my own :( - Ralphie brown font - I hope it's okay to use, I spent a lot of time trying to understand font license & acceptable use

Tools Used

  • Unity
  • Figma
  • Audacity
  • GIMP

Great artwork! Looks like the gig economy has even hit storks. I think the difficulty could ramp a bit better but otherwise great job!

Uh, where's my baby?? Look... I can only fly so fast. Lol, it's pretty fun, really hard to get everyone though. I delivered so many wrong babies too, surprised my rating even got to 2 honestly.

I delivered a lot of wrong babies..
The sound effects makes the deliveries feel impactful and are fun to listen to. The animations on the printers makes the game feel more alive and the indicators are good for keeping track of everything.

Congratulations on completing your first gamejam and well done!

I finally know how babies are made. Love the sound effects! Gets overwhelming pretty quickly though. :sweat_smile:

Great concept, and I love the voice acting! Before the multiple deliveries I was trying to figure out how to uh. Get rid of a baby. So I could pick up the correct one. Not sure if that's the intended experience, but it was kinda funny.

very solid gameplay! I do have some complain about the crane's collision box that I have to lean my entire body to every family lmao. Nice Job for the game!

A finished game with a progressive learn curve, nice ! love the sounds and recordings :smile:
Can we drop a baby (when there is no house of the desired color ?)

In the beginning the job seems easy but the task quickly becomes more and more difficult. Nice job!

Good thing I am not a stork - those poor families :sweat_smile:

Feels like this would be great as an "endless" game for score chasers!

Great sound effects and dialogue, chuckled every time I heard a "Baby's Ready" from the machine. Controlled really well too, nicely done!

Yeah... not to brag, but I'm a bit of a 3.08 presumably stars stork myself. delivered 15 families, annoyed 8, and ruined 2 B)

Jokes aside, this was a simple but fun entry. I know everyone has already commented about this, but the audio is on point. My main suggestions would be to add some sort of movement option (maybe a dash with a cooldown or something), and then double down on what the game does very well: add more possible voice lines for the houses to really give it that extra mile. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my time playing, good job!

I think you're supposed to opt out of graphics since you used a stock image

Nice sound effects! :smile:
The game is rapidly super difficult, poor families couldn't get their babies :cry: (well first they shouldn't expect the baby to arrive faster than a pizza).
Great job :wink:

Good game overall. I particularly like the voice over 😂 . I think the hit box can be made a bit obvious or something. It's slightly difficult to judge whether I will hit something so I largely just avoided a lot of stuffs -> wasted time

I loved the sound design ! Wish i did the same for my own game ahah
I found the timers too be quite fast, maybe make them start after the babies are ready to deliver ?
Nice entry though :)

Neat little game. I like how it gets quite challenging and fast at some point. You need to keep up :)
Nice entry overall !
