Visually reminds me of The Binding of Isaac and that's very good. Best execution of the "overwhelm" theme of this Jam I've played so far, overall really good!!!

The difficulty ramped up so fast. All children are devils. I thought the kids killed each other at first but it said it was just a knockout so thank god. Really nice game. The graphics feel a bit too vibrant though. Super nice game :D

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! "Should we kill the children" was definitely a discussion point within the team :D Glad we decided to go with knockouts ^^

It's Fun!

Realy well polished game, especially for a game jam. Really like the style of the game.

Submitted(+1)

Liked the game. Only problem is that the inputs don't feel the best at times. Sometimes i tmay take a few tries to pick up a kid. Other than that good game.

Developer(+1)

Yeah we should probably have increased the pickup radius at some point. Thanks for the feedback!

Fun and frantic game. A fight broke out in the toilets and I had to punt 10 children across the room. Not how I expected to spend my Monday but what a cool idea with great presentation as usual. Well done!

Developer

Haha all part of the job! Thank you for playing and sharing your experience with it :)

Nice fitting to the theme!

It is an AMAZING game. The camera is good this time.

Developer

Yeah I didn't let Jonas make the camera for this one. Just as a safety measure :D lol

Awesome work guys! Cool things happen when talented people collab!

Developer

Thank you! The team definitely had lots of talent and it was great working with the guys

Submitted(+1)

It is meant to get out of control:)

Developer

yes. Yes it is :)

Great theme. I think being able to access the help during the day would've been nice. I wasn't a fan of the chromatic aberration but the overall art style was really charming.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Awesome game. By the end it felt so frantic trying to get the kids to not get lit on fire. :D

Submitted(+1)

Kids went on riot quickly, I'm glad that the fire does not spread as the fights do, then my school would definitely turn to hell.

Super gorgeous art! I recognized it at the instance. Nice work, Blackthornprod!

By the way, I have to thank you for you YT tutorials.

Developer

We originally actually wanted to make the fire spread but didn't have the time to implement it. Would definitely have made it even harder haha :D
Noa's art is fantastic for sure!

Submitted(+2)

Holy moly that was so chaotic. These kids are little demons. I think at least 50 kids died in that bathroom. Good fun.

Developer

Don't worry, they're just unconcious! .__.

Submitted(+1)

Are we... playing as Mark Brown himself in this game??

It's a little confusing on what you are supposed to do with the kids (I'm not sure how to stop them fighting for example) but the art is very well done.

Developer

Maaaaybe :D

You can stop fights by carrying the kids away from each other. Some fights are definitely hard to stop though, if a lot of kids are involved.

The best presentation ive seen so far, but the controls fels a little floaty and sticky, and limited sometimes.

i like how this is right on theme though, while being less fun i do think its a great example and a super solid start to something nice

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Interesting, that the controls seem floaty to you. They're very on point for me. Do you have input lag when playing?

Submitted(+1)

Great visuals and gameplay gets very chaotic, great job as always!

Submitted(+1)

Such a great game! Starts quietly, but after a while there's chaos everywhere! Nice idea, and very well executed. Really loved it! 

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Great concept and very funny! at a certain point it really gets out of control and there's nothing you can do but see them kill eatch other. And we both did a game about children that gets out of control!

Submitted(+1)

The funniest game of the jam. That's for sure. Amazing presentation as always. Sometimes I'd just let the kids be and not do anything though XD. You and your team really showed how hard being in a nursury is. Well done :)

Developer(+1)

It's a tough job! I have lots of respect for those who do it.

Glad you had fun with the game
