Level 6 and 10 are very stressful. There seems to be a new mechanic in every other level, unfortunately in cases like level 8 they aren't taking advantage of very well. The tongue mechanic seems to run pretty OK but that it's so stretchy makes it very likely that you'll end up eating the babies when a stretched out tongue becomes unstretched.
The graphics are a bit lacking but they do not bother me at all, Specifically I like the head tilting when the mom is just sitting there or when moving. The text effects are very nice as well.
A very original and fun game that fits to the theme perfectly. Albeit the mechanics needs some tweaking to be less stressful.
Sounds got a bit annoying after a while and the Game Maker standard particle effects were somewhat out of place imo, but apart from that I very much enjoyed it. Good job!
But all the levels are pretty easy ... the only challenging one is that one where you have to feed 3 of your babies with normal humans but where you have to throw them to reach the babies ... especially the middle one was really hard to get working :D
But overall really nice ... i´d appreciate it if it was at least slightly harder but the ideas and references to mexican food are funny :D
Good job.
Unique idea, found it surprisingly challenging (in a fun way). Well done! :)
Well-executed concept, good level progression. Keep it up!
