I'm terrible at this game, but good job! I like how meta it is, and the art is nice and unique.
Many thanks for your kind words!
I am afraid you are not alone, since even 2 of the 3 coauthors of the game are still trying to get the top prize ;) But I promise it is possible to beat the game. In fact, here is the proof:
Nicely done! I couldn't quite manage to win the Jam, but I did keep the family (mostly) alive, hah. I briefly struggled with the controls, but that might've been a problem on my end, since it worked just fine when I tried again.
Thank you! We intended to incorporate a brief tutorial (much in the same way that you did with 🌃 🚆) to explain a bit the mechanics before the actual start of the in-game jam, but we ran out of time. I guess we also needed to attend family requirements during the real jam ^^
Loved your game! Cool idea to relate the sleepless nights of a GameJam with the theme. Also, good work on making a sim without text. My jims managed to release a game and won a cup (although I thing they died after that, who knows, hahah) There's one thing I didn't understand: My orange Jim picked up the baby, and after that, all the actions I made were for the baby (the orange jim was always with the bars depleted). Anyway, It was very fun to play it.
Many thanks for the feedback! Indeed, when one of the adult jims takes care of the baby, the benefit of the interactions goes completely for the little one. Meanwhile, that adult can't do anything "productive". There is one exception, though: putting the baby in the cradle frees the adult, who then can take care of its own necessities.
PD: Just for the record, none of the jims has been severely hurt during the jam---they are from a tough species. Although family comfort surely impacts productivity.
