The artstyle is cute! Great idea too, but it's weird that sometimes after finishing an action you would still be holding your parents and sometimes you wouldn't.

Developer

that happens when the parent spawns right behind the baby, so you end up automatically picking them up. :D thanks for playing the game btw!

cute pixel art and palette! this was pretty enjoyable and i felt the hectic reality of taking care of a grown up as the bars ticked down.  

Now if only I could find a baby to help me make money and live life...

Developer

indeed a great goal. find a supportive child to become the supportive parent you could be. lmao :P glad you enjoyed the game! <3

cute style but not much gameplay

It starts to be a bit repetitive just before winning the 1500$. Otherwise, the pixel art is gorgeous, bravo!

Developer

indeed! this was supposed to be fast-paced with a time limit to spice up the repetitiveness, but oh well. thanks for playing! :D
