Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Pregnancy content: There is quite a bit here, more than I expected actually, including multiple stages to the process. I wish there was some more variance however, as it does get very samey. Gameplay: I was confused as to what I was supposed to do but figured it out at the end, thankfully. I wish there was some kind of tutorial though, since it does get a bit repetitive and hard to understand with time. Creativity: You certainly out-creative'd me with this one, since I got a bit lost. I like the idea here though, even if the artstyle was sp00ky enough to scare one of the other judges. Not sure if that says more about this game or the judge, though. Personal thoughts: Definitely one of the more visually and conceptually unique entries, which I liked a lot. It's main problem is a general lack of instructions and direction, leaving me questioning if I was doing things right more than a few times. All this really needs is some interactions, dialogue and directions and it'll be all good.
  • This was an interesting game. I struggled a bit at first trying to understand the mechanics but eventually managed to get a hold of things. The first two minigames I found interesting and enjoyed but the third one I struggled a bit with. I would say the strongest theme to this game is the representation of pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding.

Tried multiple times on the birth segment, nothing I try works :(

Other than that it's quite a unique entry!

I must improve that part in a next version. for now you must take a vegetal oil pot, impregnate it with spirits and give it to her. If you catch more spirits, the effect is greater.

The last minigame about feeding the baby works similar but you must rub the baby when cries


Thaks for feedback!!! 

I hope you get final
