Great game, absolutely bizarre and lots of fun!

MAKE CHILDREN AHAHA !!! One of the favorites games :)

Submitted(+1)

Wow, yeah, things really got...out of control! Who thought a fireplace was a good idea for these kids anyway? Had a lot of fun with this. Weird and frantic. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Gotta keep the place warm somehow, no? :D

This is a game jam game? Outstanding! Fantastic job team, best of luck in the jam. I would be surprised if I did not see you in Mark's highlight video!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Honestly, I'd be super surprised to see our game appear in the video. There are just so many great submissions that the chances feel quite low to me.

Hey I used your tutorials during the jam :D

Nice game, the presentation with visuals and music and such are really good. I was relieved to see the kids were only knocked out, I thought a few died on my watch lmao

Developer(+1)

Yeah that was actually a discussion point we had during the jam "should we let the kids die?" Glad we decided against it :)

Submitted(+1)

Awesome art and music as always! Nurseries are a really clever interpretation of the theme. At first I thought the lack of a fail state was weird, but it was hysterical to see all the children leave after that mess as if it were no big deal.

Developer

 We asked ourselves if there should be a failstate but decided against it to make the whole thing less frustrating and let the player define their own failstates (like minium points etc)

Submitted

That makes sense! I think it wound up working quite well

Submitted

Fun ish

Submitted(+1)

Man I can relate to this game! very nice!! Do you want some cool Synthwave music to calm you down after handling so many children? Do u just wanna shoot things in the face? Check out my submission!

Submitted(+1)

Really polished with cute & funny visuals! Love how they all leave in a goofy bulk at end like they're just your normal pyromaniac kids.

Developer

Thank you! Yeah gotta get home again :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice art as usual!

Submitted(+1)

relly fun game

Submitted(+1)

Wow, this game fit the theme perfectly, with an amazing presentation, Great job!

Submitted

hey black thorn prod, i know your famous and busy and cool, and I'm nobody to you, but i was wondering if i could get some feedback for my entry if that's okay?

Submitted(+1)

Fun, weird, original game! Very nice take on the theme where a schoolyard is essentially OUT OF CONTROL. Overall a fun idea and a great game! Good luck!

If you want, please check out my submission.

I leave for 10 seconds, the kids coordinated a fight club and 90% of them were crying... i love it.

Developer

Haha that's what happens, yeah :D Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Overall very well made. A complete experience from beginning to end, which goes to show what teamwork can do (it almost makes it a little harder on those who go alone =P)

Developer(+1)

Yes that's definitely true. Making games in a team is far easier (if you have a good team at least) than making them alone. Actually, I think I've always worked in teams for game jams. You should try it too if you can and haven't yet, it's a ton of fun!

Submitted(+1)

Might try that for the next jam, its just hard when you don't know anyone. Good job though!

Developer(+1)

Yeah that's a fair point. You can often find collaborators on discord servers ;)

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, Ill try that next time!

Submitted(+1)

I saw the thumbnail and immediately knew it was by Blackthornprod!

Developer

Can't go wrong with Noa! He has a very recognizable style

Very nice art and polish considering the short time frame !

"The day was sunny, i was happy, but this was before teh arrival of the childs. What should have been a pleasant afternoon became a battle royale in the toilets. " 😅

Awesome !

Developer

haha epic comment! :D Thank you for playing
