Learning how to stand is a work of art. It requires coordination of many different body parts in perfect locomotion. For a baby, this is no simple task.

Standing is a new way in which a baby experiences the world and it leads into new ways of moving around and getting things done. I focused on using the theme in this way to simulate how a baby experiences and learns new ways of being.

Let me off the ground! Who knew walking could be so hard.

Just keep at it! I'm sure you'll be able to do it eventually :) Just get one foot under the other!

The relaxing music was such a good choice lol. At first I found myself wishing for separate buttons to control each segment's directions, but 8 buttons was already overloading my brain. Very fun, I would totally play more levels/challenges with this courageous and QWOP-y baby

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I was also thinking while making it whether I should've used separate buttons for directions, but came to the same conclusion as you - that it was already a lot to process!
