- I felt like this was a very creative game! I was nervous at first when making mistakes since your pregnancy grew worrying about reaching max size and having to start over similar to many other games but was surprised that giving birth actually helped give a clue to solve the puzzle. The puzzles were good but would say they were a bit long, would recommend shorter but more puzzles in the future. Pregnancy content in some way felt more inflation like over normal pregnancy themes but the birth solution theme was creative. Overall enjoyed the game!
- Pregnancy content: I like the stages and the way it is used to help less perceptive players, but it is still rather limited and technically a sort of punishment, though in this case that is not that big of a deal. I don't really know how you would handle it better, but it still felt a bit too little for me. Gameplay: I have to give credit: Only one puzzle was trial and error, the other two were not. It's still a rather basic RPG maker game, but I can at least appreciate the way it was handled. The ice room sucks, though. Creativity: Fertility goddess temples are kind of a theme in preg games (Hey, when I did it it was still fresh, ok?), so I can't be too generous, but I liked the idea of the goddess sending her knowledge to help her get through it. I'd like to see how her story continues. Personal thoughts: This kinda feels like an extended version of the intro to Seeds of Destiny with the setup and all, so I would really like to see this character's story continued in some way, since she seems to be chosen in some way by the Goddess. Having this as a prologue to a larger game with different mechanics would be the way to go in my opinion.

This was a fun time! The implementation of expansion with the puzzles worked well and the art + progression were all nice to see! Always a fan of expansion in mysterious temples.
I definitely needed several hints on the ice room. It might've helped better to have it split into a few smaller sections to let players plan ahead a little more for each section before hints are needed.
If Elise explores any other expansion-inducing temples, I imagine it'd be nice if the expansion played a role into some puzzles too.
Loved this. Short and sweet, with great CGs.
Yo. Some classical working gamplay.
The art is good and belly is on of the better i ever see until now on the jam.
But for a short game i dont think give solution is a good idea (is juste mi opinion).
Even more in die and retry game and you dont have game over.
Sprite size is a little weird to.
No bug. Plaisant game.
Thank for your work and your game. :)
nice game, I hope for further parts/expansion of this one
I'm certainly considering it.
I liked this game. The puzzles were fair. The tummys were big.
very solid puzzle game
Thanks!
