The art and sound are very nice, the fact that he's growing up when you collect the cakes is a nice touch, the controls are a little confusing, though. But overall, It's fun game. In my best run, my character was 14, it was nice to see him growing.
I think that might be my first timer ever playing a baby in a computer game. The baby sounds are great, I got to age 6 and it looked like he was growing up which was impressive but I couldn't get any farther to confirm.
There didn't seem to be much control over the little fellah and I was confused by all the items, but it was fun to play for a while.
Hah, I love these free-falling kind of games! I prefer being able to move more by myself but still, this was a cool concept. In my best run I got stick in a birthday cake just after dropping down from the starting house and made it to age 40 with no effort. ;)
Well done. :)
thanks for playing! I used to love Monkey Kickball back in the day and had a long love affair with Doofus Drop. I may go back after judging is over and add some mechanics that I ran out of time for. There will be more differences between inside the mine and outside plus the hard hat and pick will have upgrades and be more useful. I definitely want to add a little more control but here's a tip in the current incarnation: the nudge button always nudges UP in the direction of the head, so don't push it if you are facing down. Also triggering a cave in if you get pushed up too far off the top can save you... sometimes 😄
I don't really get it, but good game!
It's funny but it's so hard ! It's not a problem though, it's really challenging !
This such a funny game. Great art and great replayability. Loved it.
Really nice art! Hat and pickaxe were super helpful but I couldn't make it past 11 :'( Congrats on the game, really fun ^^
No baby don't die on me!!
nice game!
So many dead babies… Oldest I could get was 13…
Funny game. I'm not quite sure I understood how to play it.
This was fun, starting as a baby was a good idea. Loved the art!
