Reviews for Super Responsible Parent

[GeoKureli]

So far, this is my favorite LD42 game I've played, it's fun and has a unique and appropriate use of the theme. I recommend continuing development on this. You explored a lot of possibilities here in your level design (and in just 72 hours!), things like platforming obstacles, requiring children to be saved in a specific order, racing to avoid getting squashed, all of these can be taken much further.

My only complaint is that the beginner learning phase is pretty rushed and there's enough uncommon platforming mechanics here to trip me up by forcing me to use them all together almost right away

Wow, thanks a lot! We never manage to make the learning curve balanced enough when we make these Ludum Dare games (48 / 72 hours)

Has anybody noticed that some of the kids look like Pico?

dietzribi responds:

Haha, that was probably subconscious :)

I can envision an expanded version of this appearing on Steam someday. No joke.

dietzribi responds:

We've never released a commercial game yet (we're working now on our first one actually!) and we're scared it's a bit too goofy and silly to be taken seriously for our first product :P
BUT who knows... Maybe at some point!

Who puts deadly spikes inside of a balloon castle!?
Game logic aside, coolibert jam submission!
Pretty simple in the platforming-bouncing aspect, but the inflating scenario was a fun twist that achieved pretty well the concept of the jam. It did make me wish that there were more times where you actually wanted the castle to inflate enough so that you could achieve some jumps, though.

Also I appreciate the intro with dialogs, it's not a common sight on jam games.

Excellent game for 72 hours
