Bigger baby here :P
I think it's a really simple but clean entry. I guess you chose the safe way. I would recommend you to get out of your comfort zone a little bit. Cute visuals and music btw :)

Just made it through the roof. 10/10 would feed again.
Really cute game!

A small indicator, like the baby closing his eyes before closing his mouth and opening them before opening the mouth again, would have helped.

Really funny. It feels like a game that everyone can enjoy.
I wonder how a little kid would feel playing it :P

Cheers,

A very attractive game. It looks very nice. I imagine this could do quite well on mobile platforms.

Good game! I think it messed up when I got to the carrots, they made the baby mad no matter what I did...

Is there a bug at the carrot stage ? I didn't understand how to pass this step. Very clean and solid game, nice job

Hey everyone! Thank you for your comments :D And I'm making my way to rate all your games too :D

Tragon - I wish we had some time to do that! You're absolutely right, it would have made the game better. :)

TomenLuca - I make mostly mobile games so I think I'm stuck in that mindset :D

fistmaker & bodsey - Sorry! We should have better feedback for this mechanic. If you throw food at the baby's face, he will get grumpy. So just be careful about getting it into his mouth and not on his face. >_<; We had very little time for testing so we probably should have made the grump meter go up slower.

Never before has flinging food at a baby been so fun. I mean, more than usual.

Loved it. I've reached giant baby/cows(?), are there any stages after that?

Fun! It was almost as difficult as feeding my own one year old kid. This kid acctullay opens her mouth, which makes it a lot easier :-) good job!

Really fun concept, pretty original! good job :)

Fun! I could only get the watermelons. I think there's a bug where sometimes I'll still hit the baby even though the mouth is open. I think some hints/feedback for when the baby will close or open the mouth would be useful too. Overall liked style, good job!

Really liked the music.

Good conflict you've got there. "Do I get greedy and try to stuff my baby full in the shortest amount of time or do I take my time, but always reach the next step only by the shortest margin."

But as others said, maybe a few more hints concerning the opening and closing of the mouth would be helpful.

Very cute game! I like the idea, but I think a gradual indicator for his mood would be nice. Sometimes he would be mad after only 2 missed shots of food and sometimes 10. But I love the concept! The art and sound were really good too!

the art was clean and nice, and the idea was cute/

unfortunately for me, after the baby grows to the point where the camera pans upwards towards the ceiling, I believe the hitboxes get corrupted, because even though I'm throwing the food directly into his mouth, it splatters and he get's angry, and I'm unable to actually feed him.

fun game otherwise! :)

The website looks like its back up. I loved the concept and minimalist approach. very fun for such a simple game.
