Sadly I have no Controller maybe the camera ist better without the mouse. The Idea is good but needs a bit polish. Maybe you keep working?
Hey, I still appreciate you giving the game a try even knowing the mouse/keyboard controls are really rough. Thanks for checking it out!
Quirky game! The concept is unique, however the controls feel a bit clunky - the camera is inversed traditional, the general movement feels very 'floaty' and not snappy.
Thank you for the feedback!
There are options in the main menu that allow you to invert the x or y axis of the camera controls. And for the floaty controls, that's what I was going for being that it was a hover vehicle. But I can understand how that could be frustrating for players.
Ah sorry I missed the settings, mostly that was personal preference as I know a fair few people do play with inverted controls.
Fun game, love the premise. but camera movement is a bit too sensitive. good work though.
Thank you! Did you play with mouse/keyboard or a controller? I'm assuming mouse and keyboard, but if you were using a controller, that would be interesting to find out. Definitely need a sensitivity slider
I was playing mouse and keyboard
funny idea. wacky controls, but the camera is a bit too sensitive - maybe could be fixed. cool idea. nice work
Thanks for checking it out! Yeah the camera is really sensitive with mouse control (was designed around controller input). Do you mind elaborating on wacky controls? Just so I have a better understanding of what you mean by it.
ohh yeah i know what you mean its kinda unclear my bad LOL
wacky as in good, felt like a very silly game.
sorry about that
super cool though its honestly a good game i was really tired last night, as i was reading my own review i confused myself LMAO
Lmao silly idea and take on the theme. i lost my child so many times i wasnt very good. But nice submission and well done also good use of the baby selector and unlocking new babies lol
I really appreciate the comment! I hope the camera didn't cause you too many problems
Super fun game, really enjoyed controlling the vehicle. Also enjoyed the fact that you can unlock new babies not to YEET.
Fuck level 5 btw, hard af
Lol level 5 and 6 were only tested in sections as it was being made. I didn't even try to play test all the way through them until after I built/submitted it xD But I understand the pain of trying to beat them. Thanks for checking it out and for the ffedback
A brilliant concept with pretty fun, simple gameplay, but it's pretty difficult just to keep the ambulance from falling off each course, let alone keep the baby "connected" inside of it.
Also, the sound effects can get annoying really quickly, but the Sound slider in the Options menu only adjusts noises from the baby, not the ambulance.
Thanks for checking it out. Yeah mouse/keyboard controls definitely were not fully implemented which has been making it difficult for a lot of people to play. I mainly focused on the controller/gamepad input. And good catch, I must of have missed referencing all the audio sources in my sfx manager.
As a first-time father of a 7-month-old, you sir, are a monster.
10/10, would yeet again.
Whoever said the camera man never dies has never played this game. Thank goodness my mouse has 5 sensitivities, because even on the lowest, the camera was messing me up.
First off, congrats on the 7 month-old. Time sure does fly by. I have a 9 year old myself. And the keyboard/mouse control definitely was a regrettable addition. I added it last minute because I only had controller support until the last day. Thanks for the comment though, gave me a good chuckle!

Nice submission - I love when games take a silly and fun twist on things. I think that you managed to keep a quite concise theme throughout the game in terms of colors, assets, and so on. The music was a little out of place but it was good music so it had that going.
I was able to keep a pretty steady camera if I was on full screen and did not touch the mouse.
If you have the time, please consider rating our game as well - thanks!

Thank you for the feedback. And totally agree about the music. It was just commercial free use items I had downloaded already and shoved into this game lol The mouse was for sure the low point of this game. Really need more time to correctly implement it, but oh well! And Yeah, I have your game on my list of to play. I will be streaming it too.
I had hard time controling that camera. As a result, the baby had a really hard time!
Not sure if it's just the camera tho xD
Here is a full run of the game. I used a controller for this gameplay footage.
I yeeted a few babies....then I got sick and puked from the camera!
Good job and good luck!
Yeah the game was designed around the use of a controller, and keyboard/mouse controls were added last minute, so no tweaks were made for the mouse look, sadly.
And if I would have read down your description I would have seen "Gamepad/Xbox Controller(Recommended For Best Gameplay):"
It was a fun game and I loved the added unlocks based on progress with vehicle skins and baby skins!!! Great feature.
I just appreciate you took the time to play and give feedback! And thanks for giving it a fair shot, especially with the bad mouse camera.
My baby was excessively yeeted, but I could see the concept working well with better controls!
Thank you for checking it out. I will be updating the controls for after the jam period because this issue is going to bug me if I don't lol
I appreciated the humor and concept of this game, but the mouse controls added an extra (probably unintended) level of difficulty. The thumbnail alone was enough to get me to play it, so awesome job with that!
I appreciate the time you gave to it. Yeah mouse/keyboard was my biggest downfall on this project. Last minute addition of this control type really hosed things up. I'm glad the thumbnail was eye catching. I guess any time you mention yeeting babies, attention is easily grabbed. xD
I wish i was the baby being yeeted
Camera control is a bit difficult but very good and challenging game .I like it!
Thanks for checking it out!
I like the concept and the physics felt alright, map design was decent. This games biggest issue is the camera controls that are so sensitive and loose you can get lost or spun out in seconds of playing. I was hyped to see the unlocks, the simpson yellow baby threw me for a loop!
Thank you for checking it out. The game was definitely designed around the use of a controller, so mouse and keyboard was thrown in last minute. lol
this game is fun but mad
