That was hilarious lol although I'm not sure Ride of the Valkyries is public domain music.

Interesting to see a game in which the objective is to avoid destruction rather than promoting it. As tempting as it was to step on every single thing that showed up - smashing stuff is fun - I did manage to get to the ending. Loved the twist btw. GZ

This was very fun to play.
What I liked the most:
- the take on the theme;
- the background music fits very well the gameplay;
- the secret cheat system :P
- THE TOY REFERENCES!!

The baby model doesn't feel right. the leg separating itself from the knee felt creepy O_O. haha Congratulations on your first entry, =) it would be lovely to play another game by you.

Original and refreshing! Liked the ending too.

The music choice is indeed great, gives great mood, although it's not yours.

Pretty cool idea and neat execution. :3
It only seemed to glitch out a little if you put your feet too close together.

This was great fun, hilarious idea and great overall. I kept getting smashes against me from moving things running into an already planted foot. That didn't seem fair, but otherwise awesome game.

Dig the Tchaikovsky and Wagner, great concept all round and very funny, it's good! Some sound effect improvements would be good, but the graphics are really good all round

So fun ahah. when it started i really hoped to see the hard pain that haunts our child memories... legos, and soon enough there they were hehe. Great entry altogether, although the baby's graphic style makes me feel more of a drunk with beer belly returning home.
