Wow the looks are awesome!
Really fun to play and well done!

Though it would be a bit easier and faster, if it was possible to shoot all the babies needed for the level and not spend time trying to catch that one that I accidentally sent to the other edge of the level 😅
ASnd I didn't manage to solve the hotel baby (like on screen 8), I just couldn't get the baby to move through the signs 😶

I lost a baby and couldn't pass the fourth level, but it's still a lot of fun

sometimes it was frustrating to play because of some colliders on rooftops but overall if you fix those minor bugs it will be playable! i'd like to praise artist work cause, i have no idea how skilful you must be to do something like that! good job!

We can't get through one collider at level 7 (?) idk it was hard to count :D But overall it was very fun and we like sound and voices. Nice entry!

Wow, I really the art style. The goofy looking babies and storks are super charming. I also like the blending of the 2d cartoon graphics for the characters and the 3d backgrounds. The extra art on the title looks great and is a nice touch. The music and audio is good too - voice acting in a jam gam is always impressive. The audio levels seem off though. I can barely hear the sound effects and voice acting over the music.

Unfortunately, something about the game seems broken on my computer. A lot of random errors show up in yellow text near the top right of the screen. Other people are talking about different levels, but when I play there's only one level and after that it goes straight to the end credits. Not sure what's going on.

I like the voice lines a lot (though I had to lower the music in the options in order to hear them. Sometimes babys would bounce forever between tents and the game would break, but overall pretty funny.

Strange, but fun! Is it any chance to see a HTML5 version?

That's a huge download. For some reason I could only play the first level. I also managed to fall off the platform on the right side and I kept falling forever. I had to quit back to the title screen.

The art is nice but the music gets annoying after a while.
