Very enjoyable gameplay. So many different types of babies. It's fun to scatter looking for labels for them.

I like the idea of putting the child in the bin.

I really liked it though it cost me at few seconds at the beginning to figure out how it worked. Wanted to keep playing to see all the different types of babies. Good work! :)

Embedded version didn't work for me in Firefox, but it did work in Edge

Funny concept and great execution! I questioned some of the feedback sometimes (don't tell me a mimic isn't unique!) but it was amusing seeing the variety of attributes etc come up while trying to fulfill an order. Good stuff!

Nice concept, dont know why but families have some preference for dead babies ^^

A nice concept! It was fun to see the different species. The graphics were cute, controling the bird easy enough. I found the game difficult to play though - it was difficult for me to match the order with the babies, they did not seem to synch up at all. I think it would have been better to have only 1 attribute for the baby - so it simplifies matching. Also to have the request list always shown again for easier matching. Congratulations - a good entry!

Pretty fun when you know what's happening. You might want to add some instruction at the beginning, maybe a procedure screen that player can close to start.

The icon at the bottom of each baby carriage looks like a mouse. Since the "Z" button was not too vibrant, I kept clicking the mouse but nothing happened.

Overall the idea is nice, you can work on UI/UX a bit.

Fun concept, loved all the different types of babies and requests, some of the attributes were verry funny. Loved the art. Simple to understand and quick to play.

Good concept. It would have been nice if the orders were also visible, also (at least on my screen) the baby's qualities were cut off at the top of the frame, which made it hard to pick good ones quickly. Loved the range of species available :grin:

Great job on the art and the variety! I didn't realize at first that you could scroll through the list of orders, but then after I realized that like it seems like the orders didn't change after doing a delivery? I also had some trouble understanding some of the matchups between attributes and what the orders wanted haha. Still a great concept and I had fun with it, so nice work!

Great entry! I had fun matching up the babies, and lol'd at a few of the pairings of traits XD.

Fun concept. Could use a quick tutorial as it was unclear how to deliver in the beginning but maybe that's just me. The labels might need another look, got extraordinary and just ordinary on the same label a few times.

Wow! This is a very fun game! I really enjoyed playing it as well graphics and little humorous parts!
I only wish there was some sound effects or music, to complete this whole experience.

Thank you for creating it! <3

Haha, the delivery notices cracked me up - really hitting my humor note.
Great game, well done - only nitpick is the usage of the Z key with literal binding to Z instead of location (Works well on QWERTY but not QWERTZ keyboards)

@xatulu Wow! Thanks for your response! I didn't realized there is a type of QWERTZ keyboard. Next time I'll add Y key for interaction as well.

@calicobubbletea just to blow your mind a little bit more - there also is an AZERTY Keyboard layout, mostly used in France i think!

Really loved the cynical humor in here, really hilarious ! A cool QoL change would be to be able to re-check an order once it's in the basket !
