Adware Out of Control

It was a very fun game and at the beginning it all seemd fine, but the hole situation went out of control, doing a great implementation of the game. The soundtrack fits a lot with the game and overall is a fun experience, and it is the ultimate babysitting simulator.

Wow love the art! The chaotic spread of madness is similar to what we did in our game, except we have you yeeting sheep instead of babies :') The slightly more ethical version. Well done, as usual!

This was a cool game and the aesthetic was very nice! I do have a couple suggestions though.

One would be different ways of interacting to diffuse certain situations. I felt it was unnecessary to have all these different actions for the children when for all cases you just pick them up. My other note is about the blur. It is a very nice looking effect but made some text hard to read.

Regardless great work!

I hate this game because it made me feel like I had no control and I just gave up 10/10

Children are unstable and unpredictable, which really fits the theme. Its an enjoyable experience.

Just wondering why did some kids set themselves on fire.

There are some rare pyromaniac kids who like to play with fire :)

Wow that got out of control real fast! Haha! I'm very impressed with the level of polish! The visuals and the sound add a lot! I love the sound effects. I would suggest some sort of visual feedback indication of who the space button is about to pick up so you can know if you are "locked on" and perhaps even some snapping to the character in the case when lots of others surround you. Well done!

Thank you for the detailled feedback! Snapping is a thing but we could have increased the radius a bit in the end ^^ A little visual indicator could have been cool yeah!

Glad you liked the audio, was lots of work :)

Didn't expect less from you, amazing game! After some time I had a huge fight in the bathroom and couldn't stop them all before more kids joined.

This was out of control.. To the point.. I tried breaking a fight in the bathroom.. then a fight broke in the sandpit.. Meantime the cult of firemongeres was gathering and after tending that problem.. well the sandpit and bathroom fight was merged together and.. 

TL;DR
5/5 would never daycare again

The weird, dark humorous tone was a joy to experience.

The instructions weren't super clear to me, so I ended up just trying to move the kids to whatever they seemed to be wanting at the time, but then I noticed some of the kids involuntarily moving toward those things on their own. In the end, I wasn't quite sure what was going on anymore. I think the instructions could be clearer.

That said, even though my score was horrible, I still played it from start to finish and had a lot of fun doing it!

Yep, an interactive tutorial would definitely have been nice. In the end we had to go with this style of tutorial for time reasons. Glad you could still somewhat enjoy it! :)

The art and music on this are fantastic. But the default UI really did stand out. 
The game itself is fun but it was very hard to know what to do at the start. Better instructions would definitely help.

Yeah that's pretty unfortunate. Noa made some nice art for the end screen but it got lost in a unity collab error somehow and didn't end up in the final build without us realizing it :( Glad you still liked it though

Sorry that it got lost in collab. All I hear is bad stuff about it... going to stick to git.
