Yeah. The game is the real life! You become a parent, responsible for feeding your children... You need to feed them but they must not overeat! Also, check if any of them is not so hungry to die!

:loudsound: !!PLAY WITH SOUND!! :loudsound:
The game is simple. You need to keep the children alive for specific amount of time.
Click and hold on a child to feed it. On the left side of each child there is a progress bar. It indicates hungry level. If it's too much... well see yourself ;) If it falls to 0, the child dies...

This is a nice mini-game. It gets a bit repetitive with time, but it works. Also, the audio makes it specially hilarious!
Congrats on finishing!
Overall I really like your game. Well done!
I wonder if adding another mechanic would make this game too complicated? Like maybe adding baby food. That might be too stressful though.
I enjoyed how the difficulty of the game scaled. It began easily enough, teaching you how the mechanics of the game work and then quickly ramped up the difficulty until my clicks per minute were far too high. Good job on this game.
I've only finished 6 levels so I don't know how it plays after that, but one way to increase the difficulty would be to introduce finite milk which you need to replenish.
Anyway, nice job and thanks for rating my game, really appreciate it ;)
I got the idea but the sound is too annoying... I see a good audience for your game in mobile ;)
we had the similar idea, was thinking on raising kids - the ones that were raised right would then move out and send you money, the ones neglected would stick around, and take money from you :D
Not only in Poland, child benefits are quite popular in UE. But, let's not lead the discussion this way ;D
Would be cool if we can use the 100 dollar benefit as a base for gameplay - every new child gives you additional income of 100$, but rising them cost a lot more. So you need to neglect them a bit to get positive cash flow from this investment. The catch is, that if you neglect them too much, child support will take them away, so you will lose.
Dammit I wish I had this idea before the Jam :P
like giving them something to distract them for a period of time or food instead of milk or they need changing/cleaning up
Good job/
Really cool entry, nice graphics and what i really like about this game that you can tell that you did all of it yourself!
Great job!
Definitely a catastrophe when more and more babies to feed.
Very well done! Awesome!
Nice game that responds perfectly to the theme, and funny pixel art for the graphics too! Too bad i ended up wanting to shut the sound down with all those cries, but heh, that's part of the "worse" haha

Good game!
The strategy is really simplistic, but this was at least entertaining for a bit. Interestingly enough, the only way to deal with a huge family is to just cycle attention between each child on a regular schedule and ignore all of the others until they are about to die. Hmm....maybe that's a bit too realistic.
A fittingly frustrating and exasperating game. It's a thing of beauty. I loved the art, and the intro music was very catchy. And when it's time to play, well, the sounds are what you'd expect in a home full of hungry babies.
If you manage to continue playing through bleeding ears, this game is fantastically crafted. Simple in execution, yet it adheres to the theme so well, and it's very polished.
I like to see that you're still updating it. I can only wonder how far you're willing to take this game. You might want to get your ears checked from all the constant crying you're probably subjecting yourself to tho. [In behalf of my team](twitter.com/whalesandgames), we're looking forward to seeing your future projects! Cheers! :whale:
