Simple, fun to play, and a little silly. Well done!
If you have time in the future, avoid using the esc key for the webGL version as it kicks people out of fullscreen mode.

Overall the game was good, I liked the designs of the different babies and how delivering Nicky the parent started freaking out about it, it's a great little detail that was hilarious, the audio was a bit loud so I had to turn down my computer volume a lot but other than that it's a good game! Keep up the good work!

Cool concept! Using the sprites in 3D space was very creative. I also really enjoyed the humorous dialogue!

Would have liked an audio slider. I liked the sprites and 3d combination. Gameplay felt clean and intuitive. Was able to unite the babies with their real parents.

An interesting game with not very user-friendly controls, but interesting mechanics and fun stories inside.

weird game, I enjoy flying games and the talking to people to figure out who went where was fun!

I don't know if you wrote all these names yourself or used some kind of generator, but one lady's name was -tree which is pretty great.

I wasn't totally sure if I was playing right. I followed the instructions but the parents seemed unhappy? Also the music was very intense for the mood/theme of the game.

One minor "bug" I guess: I wasn't playing in fullscreen mode but movement was mouse-based, so I'd often lose the tracker when my mouse left the viewport, which made it difficult to turn around sometimes.

But otherwise, it was a lot of fun! I'm obviously partial to Stork-based games :)

Great entry

@matt-green Thanks for the good review! The names are 'not' randomly generated. The puzzle was Foreman - tree = Boy one.

Some of the parents are unhappy either way. You can give either Nicky or Colette to the cheating wife and the real parents of Colette will never know. Whichever you do you still get a correct rating at the end of the game.

Yeah, I also find the mouse bug annoying :/
