Funny concept; throwing the babies around and them wriggling on the floor gave me a good laugh! I didn't realize that "working from home" essentially just meant answering the call every once in a while, but once I figured it out, throwing them next to the computer and keeping them nearby made managing the two tasks quite easy. Still, as a short management sim that's only become more relevant, it's easily relatable and provides a few laughs. Nice work!
Thanks for playing and the review!
Found a bug where the baby got stuck and just shook on the floor. Made it very easy hehe. Also I would love to see the game slowly add more babies.
Nice, maybe try to throw them less hard :-). Thanks for playing.
Nice game the idea is very nice, i also rated your game. Also if you could try it out and rate my game that would mean a lot :)
Appreciate it!
Its pretty funny, but there's a really easy strategy of keeping the kids in the same room as the call. The addition of having to also feed them or change their diapers and having to do those in different rooms would have made it more out of control. It was hard to see what everything was since everything is so small. Its cool to see a game inspired by the current situation in the world.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll probably add more features like this, if we can get our own kids to leave us alone.
Nice game, I really liked how you have to switch between 2 responsibilities.
Thanks!
Very cute and very funny! I like how he just throws the babies around and the babies are all fine haha. Good job!!
Thanks, it takes a lot of practice to throw them well.
Are all babies this suicidal? Had a lot of fun playing this, great work!
Thank you! The babies are currently going through psychological evaluation.
I got a vasectomy after playing this game....Hahaha. Awesome concept. Had a good laugh playing this game and I'm sure it must've been recognizable for some of the people with children who are working from home now! Nice little take on the concept that was easy to understand. Felt like a singleplayer "whos your daddy"
Hope the vasectomy went well! Thanks!
Cool concept! The execution is pretty competent, but some things could be improved! I really enjoy the music you chose as well, really well done!
It perfectly recreates the atmosphere it's going for! During the video call I would constantly be snapping my eyes from the baby, and to the computer, and to the baby again! Really frantic and fun as well! Maybe some more content to really keep you busy, but very good game all in all!
Thank you for the feedback!
Really cool idea! Doing some basic 2D lighting could have helped with the presentation. Was difficult to keep the babies from killing themselves!
If you could rate my team's game would be very appreciated!
Good point, maybe some lighting to highlight when one of the kids are getting in trouble. Thanks for the feedback!
overall an interesting management game. Enjoyed!
Thanks!
