It was super cute, getting the babies into their pen was much more fun than I expected. However, I did encounter a bit of a blocker.  One baby got stuck!  I am including a picture below.  I could not get the baby to budge from that spot no matter what I did with the rattle so I was stuck at 19  kids recaptured. :( 
 

I got all 20 of them in on the second play through.  It was not what I was expecting and I think you did an amazing job presenting your point.

Thank you SO much for pointing out that bug! (I thought I had it fixed, I guess I'll have to go back to the drawing board.)

Sometimes I think I missed my true calling when I did not go into QA. ;)

pretty good game considiring the time and Those babys sound effect's for what ever reason are the cutest thing ever XD, and the game even have a deeper meaning and a massege in it this should be played more but the jam size making it hard for a lot of game's to get anything of download's into them.

Interesting, I do like the idea of using a rather simplistic game to convey a deeper and rather disturbing message, I did not expect that. Reminds me of one of those old PSA's, good job man.

Was not expecting the twist at the end or the social commentary, very interesting submission

I liked the execution on this idea, having some babies that run and some that follow was a good twist on the herding concept I've been seeing around. Also, I like that there's a visual indicator for which babies hear the rattle, along with what their behavior will be.
