You can make your kids camp in this game.

Also, I pressed a random key and it made the game unplayable.

I like the music and the gameplay

That music was amazing, somewhere between dub and klezmer, and I was about it. I'm not sure if I missed it, but did the face the children land on matter at all?

Great idea. The dialogues gave a great depth to the dice. It was a "Roller" coaster ride ;)

Very cool game I enjoyed rolling my children away and into the danger!

Fun game. Very creative. Pressing shift gave a js error, I'm not sure if this is an itch.io bug or a bug with the game. I enjoyed it though!

Like the idea, good have nice puzzle where you could your kid over the wall to open door or special wall that only enemies can cross to spice things up! Sadly the last door didn't open (even with the 6 kids) :/
I'll follow you in hope to see more soon :)

Very cute! I loved the concept. I noticed a weird glitch once when the enemies all piled up in a corner and a few of them somehow ended up getting pushed through the wall. Outside of that one time, though, I didn't really have to deal with the enemies as long as I kept moving. If you iterate on this idea further, it might be cool to have shorter walls you can throw your kids over. You could create some really cool puzzles with just a few more mechanics!

I like all the ideas presented, the variable difficulty enemies and using an explosion to push objects around the level was fun! One main problem was that the enemies didn't follow the player very well. I recommend you google "Unity Navmesh" for your next project as it's an easy way to get enemies to follow you around in a maze and it's not that hard to implement!

Nice game a bit of polish could be great. The enemies werent really a threat tho
