Man what a pretty entry. This is so awesome! How can you come up with an idea like this? Now I crave a Coca Cola(TM)! Yes, you must work for them... This is what it is.. A commercial. That why is so slick.

Whoa, very unique. Love the ambiance and intuitive controls. Beautifully simple.

Maybe it's just me but I found the organ ratings at the end screen a bit out of place. A little macabre if you think about it too long.

Graphics and audio are really good! Too bad the gameplay was pretty RSI-inducing ;)

Unique idea, and very stylish minimalist art. Would have liked to see more gameplay elements.

Good luck in the compo!

Simple but really nice actually. A little interactive animation. When the colours kinda inverted to go inside the baby it looked really neat. Good job.

Very nice entry. More of an experience than a game as while the game wasn't what I would call fun it but was definity intriguing.

Such a cool game that plays very well for an LD game.

Could use more gameplay, all I did was wipe around like a maniac. Hope really babys don't grow like that :D

But I really like the idea and the graphical representation. It's definitely unique.

Really cool idea for the theme - I wonder how many people are tweeting this and whether or not it's creating a lot of confusion among their friends :D

thanks for the feedback all!

@01010111 thanks! I've seen no tweets yet, but that's sortof expected. it would be a really weird and confusing tweet. but I found the idea hilarious, so I implemented it anyway.

My boy "Lucious Dare" has just been born! (Seriously I can't tweet that :P)

Short and simple, it was interesting to figure out how the game works. I got a perfect baby on my second attempt - please don't quote me out of context.

Congrats for this nice little entry! I wish you the best for Circles!

Very interesting take on the theme. The atmosphere was well-built and had a cool, almost uneasy feeling to it.

This is pretty nice, though I must say that it's very strange. I love how you really don't have time to put everything to max, so you gotta think in what order you wanna grow...

I'd like to see a version of this that goes to show, based on the stats, part of the child's life. Just like a little story would do the trick, so we know how we affect the child. :D

Very innovative, and fun. Easy to play, not so to master. :)

Very cool visuals and sounds. The way you grow the organs feels a little weird, but it works. This would be a great intro to the story of a bigger game!

@phi thanks! I agree that the organ growing is a little weird. I worked like 10 hours on different ways involving bitmapdata and alpha masking, but it didn't work out. this was the easier way, but I would've liked to spent more time on it. lesson for next time!
