Funny concept; throwing the babies around and them wriggling on the floor gave me a good laugh! I didn't realize that "working from home" essentially just meant answering the call every once in a while, but once I figured it out, throwing them next to the computer and keeping them nearby made managing the two tasks quite easy. Still, as a short management sim that's only become more relevant, it's easily relatable and provides a few laughs. Nice work!

Its pretty funny, but there's a really easy strategy of keeping the kids in the same room as the call. The addition of having to also feed them or change their diapers and having to do those in different rooms would have made it more out of control. It was hard to see what everything was since everything is so small. Its cool to see a game inspired by the current situation in the world.

Flying BlindI got a vasectomy after playing this game....Hahaha. Awesome concept. Had a good laugh playing this game and I'm sure it must've been recognizable for some of the people with children who are working from home now! Nice little take on the concept that was easy to understand. Felt like a singleplayer "whos your daddy"

Tower of the UnknownCool concept! The execution is pretty competent, but some things could be improved! I really enjoy the music you chose as well, really well done!
It perfectly recreates the atmosphere it's going for! During the video call I would constantly be snapping my eyes from the baby, and to the computer, and to the baby again! Really frantic and fun as well! Maybe some more content to really keep you busy, but very good game all in all!
