Baby Race by kuviman

[raw]
made by kuviman for Ludum Dare 56 (COMPO)

In this game you play as a tiny creature trying race other tiny creatures (if you have friends)

You can control one limb at a time (an arm or a leg). Use LMB to hold on to the ground to move yourself using that limb, or use RMB to reposition it.

Controls are frustrating but in a fun, QWOP way. I can tell lots of effort went into making the controls. Bravo!

I believe it could take me a couple of days to reach one meter! :smile:
The controls are super frustrating, I find it really hard to control the baby, and it was quite unfortunate that there was no one else online to challenge me. I really need an easy-mode :wink:

Weird and hilarious. I think you nailed what it must be like to be a baby crawling for the first time. It took me 5 minutes to finish, and by the end I felt like I could maneuver my babby legs with proficiency.

Of course tiny creatures have to be humans! Such a silly idea but super cool. I find it hard but making a suck at being a baby! Congrats for your entry :thumbsup:

I've yet to figure out the strategy here, but it was fun to race with other people anyway.

PS: I just noticed the adults at the bottom are looking away from the babies 😅

got it in 4 minutes! not quite the 53 second time but once I got the hang oof it, it was much better, felt like the arms didn't do much but the legs were pretty powerful.

I need a baby race lol
The idea is super cool and the presentation is hilarious as always! I managed to speedrun by using a pattern of two left leg pulls and one right leg pull repeating it to the beat of the music.

Managed to race with some people. The movement system is pretty tricky, but I was amused the whole time.

Had to go get my mouse from the forgotten dusty corner of my house that I keep it in, no regrets. This was fun!
