You had me at "Relentless Velociraptor Mom" XD

So much fun this game, would totally love to see more levels added to it.

I truly didn't know what to expect when I came in. The art was very well done, I love the design of the mother.

Concept is really fun, I know I did this plenty of times when I was younger and it really brought back fond memories of quietly chopping off a block of cheese for my crackers while my parents watched late night TV in the next room. They were, well, human though.

I feel like the mechanics are pretty well balanced. I'm not sure if I was slower when holding more food, but I feel like I was, which helped me decide if I should do multiple trips or one slow one. Having to time out my breathing when she's near, or drop everything in front of me so I don't lose the lot was really fun.

There were a handful of bugs but nothing too damaging. I think I did my winning run without distractions (and I never fully figured out how to search?) but they didn't take away any pleasure I had playing.

Hope to see more of this in the future! I had a great time, thank you for the title!

Hey there Sawyer!

One of the programmers here, first of all thank you so much for trying out our game, and even making a video about it (Great video btw).

The search function is a bit tricky, as it uses the arrow keys instead of WASD. We unfortunately did not have time to properly communicate this, as time before release is usually very busy. I'm not sure what the plans are for the near future of Velocimom as we are heading onto new projects, courses and gamejams at YRGO (Our university), but if we do release an update this will definitely be in it.

I'll write it again here at the bottom so more might see it, but:

The search function on the Sofa and the Fridge uses the Arrow keys, when you're above an item you add it to your inventory by pressing the E key.

You can exit the Sofa and the Fridge by pressing ESC (Escape key).

Thank you so much again for playing our game! :)

Ooooh, okay that makes sense. I was worried I was doing something wrong or my computer glitched it out, haha.

It was a lot of fun! I'm taking a look around your other work now!

Thank you! For all of us involved in making Velocimom, this was our first ever released game. It was an insane milestone for us to hit and we will be making more things in the near future, with 3D projects coming up.

We are making this as part of our education at our university YRGO where we study to become game developers (as either a game programmer or a game artist).

We will be making more games in the future, so stay tuned and check out other projects from our university in the meantime :) https://yrgo-game-creator.itch.io/ I have some really talented peers who are making amazing stuff there.
