Baby Boom by SophieM

[raw]
made by SophieM for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Everyone love cute babies, isn't it?

Help them find families so they can all spend unforgettable and quiet vacations.

Your great mission? Use your bazooka to send these angels to their new lovely family. It's an arcade game, so the more you succeed the more points you get. A full car increases the score multiplier. Beware the garbage truck and the... brake sound road.

This game was made in 2 days during Ludum Dare 53 and is just a joke, no babies were harmed during the making of this game.

Uhhh.....

Surprisingly fun and funny. The graphics and gameplay were well done and it has nice polish. Could have been a little more innovative with the theme, but overall well done!

I wasn't expecting it to be that gorey :smile:

It's quite fun to shoot around babies. I would have loved to have something like different levels with different goals and some kind of upgrade system along the way. The graphics is super nice!

Saved 96 babies, unfortunately 6 didn't make it. Took me a while to realise about the garbage trucks... R.I.P.
A very original take on delivering babies!!
In terms of the look of the babies, beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder, haha!
I had a lot of fun playing this. Great entry :D

What can I say, I just love it. Also the small turning torn rods in the garbage trucks are a really nice detail. Keep it up!

If my future child asks me how he/ she came to earth, I will just show him/ her this game. I love the humor!

The game is well-polished. I like the way you translate the theme. It serves different kinds of player types. The only suggestion from me would be to treat oops the same as saved. I enjoy oops but the score goes down. May be some other achievement should be allowed.

This is fun, i love that someone actually interpreted the them in this way. The game is very well polished and the gamplay feels very good. I lked the style of the game graphics and musicwise. The only problem i had is that sometimes on the right lane it felt like there is an invisible wall where you can still see the cars and also click them, but the babies wont fly past it and then just miss so i ended up only delivering babies on the left lane. But as there were still more than enough cars on the left side it wasn't a problem

Pretty fun. But baby road kills might be a bit too much.

This entry should probably give at least a warning for some people because of the graphic nature.

But that doesn't bother me and I think it was a fun time waster for highscore hunting!

I loved the humor The 3D art and colors are very well done and charismatic! At the same time that it's very satisfying to throw the babies, I felt a little sad seeing the ones I missed turning into puddles of blood (╥﹏╥)
Congratulations for the game!

There's only so much baby crying i can take before i go insane, but that's a me problem. Its nothing you should worry about.

Your game's good.

Funny stuff from a fellow baby bazooka game! I like that the shooting mechanic was smooth and intuitive.

Awesome game!!! Unfortunately over 30 babies didn't make it when I played.... Love how smooth it plays and the character designs!

Fun and very polished ! love the overall graphics and audio it's really nice, I just feel bad for the road workers that will have to clean up my mess. Bien joué à vous tous !

Good sounds and artwork. A tutorial to help me know what was getting me points would have helped but overall fun.
