I get it its the scale of one life compared to another the child is the beginning of a new scale!

Love the concept and tone of the game. Nice use of shaders when moving behind objects! Though quite sure how the jam theme was implemented here.

Submitted

The game has a very nice ambiant, nice graphics and a huge potential. I unfortunately had a bug at the "write" part, and avoiding the fire is a bit difficult because of the short timing. The theme of the gamejam is quite discret even if the hero is small.

I really like the vibe of this!
The animation choices and how things move and respond.
Nice music too, good string arrangement with the piano.
Very creative :)

A very different game from the rest. Not always easy to navigate, but in the end, it doesn't really mather because the story is touching.

Good job !

Very charming visuals! Most submissions here are gameplay oriented, so  its very refreshing to see clear story)

This game looks incredible, but I struggle to   see any mechanics that are connected to the theme

I like the story and how is being told. It is very creative and yet simple. Some how, during the part where the baby cries start, the game went black and I could not see the keys, and eventually I fell down and did not respond so I did not get to complete the game but I did enjoy how unique it is.

Nice job! great look, bouncing on the keys was super juicy, the baby noise was a bit loud, but I suppose babies are a bit loud

A fantastic submission that tells a good and relatable story with style.

First note: I had to install C++ Visual Studio and the .NET framework on Windows 11 for the Unreal Engine 4 to work. This might turn a lot of people off from playing the game. I'm not sure if it's something you can control, but it's something to be aware of.

Amazing music and aesthetics. I loved the sepia filter over everything and the simple textureless 3D models. The player character is cute. Simplicity goes a long way here.

The story's very common, but not depicted that often in art, so I appreciated it. The ending is fantastic. 

For gameplay: it would be interesting if you needed to backtrack more to find the letters to spell the target word. You could also play with puns and synonyms. I found the platforming with the flames that appeared and disappeared pretty difficult.

Amazing work. Thanks!

Great work on your entry!  Very polished for a jam, with a lot of great atmosphere and style

Very interesting game idea and really creative. With minor hitbox tweaks with the burners I think this game would be golden.

Cute character and nice gameplay but I don't get it how it fits the theme :/
Also got stuck after baby screaming.

Anyway I like the ambiance set by colors and music.

Good job !

Love the style and feel, but needs some technical touchups. Would love to see a more fleshed out version.

Neat concept, though the platforming is a little slow, and death doesn't seem to do anything. After the baby cries, it went completely black and I seem to have fallen out of the map
