Pretty original take on the theme from what I can tell, though I found it hard to really get what I should be doing. The timer which ticks down seems to just kill you but I couldn't find a ay to make it go back up or anything. Maybe I just didn't read the tutorial well enough, idk. Still, I really like the art style and the controls feel very nice.
The game looks very nice and I like your artstyle. The controls feel smooth and juicy. The idea itself is very creative. But I didn't understand what my goal was and why and when its game over. But overall cool game, you did a very good job!
The game is quite hard but also fun. Took me some time to figure out what the game was about, but after that it was a really fun game.
The art and the audio are pretty good, pretty good job!
Love the visuals and sound! Was a bit confused when I died the first time but playing again makes it a lot more obvious haha
This was fun! The visual style was very polished. I do wish there was some sort of indicator of how many enemies/boxes there were so that you only needed to switch characters when necessary, but I guess not knowing does add a lot to the challenge. Great job overall!
Sweet game, the characters are very nice
Very fun and creative game, I love how when you switch between each character the music changes.
Really great idea, I loved that you had to switch between the different characters and each could do their own thing. It was a bit hard to remember what character can do what stuff because all of the information was front-loaded - maybe instead you could have the controls in the corner change depending on your character. I also had a hard time understanding how the sleeping works, but once I got the hang of it I had lots of fun! Also really great art and sound effects, well done! :)
Love the art style and music choice, the weapons felt heavy and impactful.
The overall look of the game and the interface looks really nice! And i like the idea its really cool
the pixel art is so cuteee, also i like the idea of multiple characters each having one unique skill
Cool concept, I don't really understand why only a few enemies were spawning for me, but the mechanics feel good and the progression feels nice, well done!
Great presentation, the characters are cute with big eyes! lol
Control felt pretty smooth, I liked it. The background music was a bit small.
Great looking game! Interesting concept and control feels good. Had some trouble figuring out the sleeping but great jam entry.
Very cute graphics, and a pretty neat concept! I couldn’t quite figure out how the sleeping mechanic worked; I tried to go to sleep just as the timer was about to run out, but I still got a game over message. The other two characters were pretty fun, though!
Nice concept. It is fun and creative.
this is really fun! I kinda wish there was a way to switch between each kid without walking to them, bc it made me really hesitant to move anyone too far away from the bed. Great art and sounds!
The amount of work is crazy! Very good pixel art , very well planned the gameplay core and make not 1 not 2 but 3 characters to switch was awesome!
The pixel artwork is really sweet!
