Cool game! I really like the graphics and style. I enjoyed the minigames a lot. Keep up the great work!
This is such a great game. The graphics fit the style of play. As does the music and sound effects. There's so much variety of mini games. They're very simple, but that's fine for a short game jam. It was definitely enjoyable, especially as no single activity drags for too long. It was easy, but again, that's fine for a game jam and suits the game style.
I wasn't too sure about the theme though. It seems like quite a stretch. You clearly put a lot of work into this, so you could easily have spent more time on a more fitting game.
Very nice concept, I also liked the idea having the mom trying to clean up the mess you caused in earlier runs. Also playing the little mini games while all hell breaks loose around you was pretty funny. Having a few more physics interactions would have spiced things up especially in later runs, but alas, that probably would have broken the timeline
Extremely fun game! A creative idea executed very well and amusing all the way through. Loved all the little minigames, and that cameo of sorts in the Teen’s segment was quite nice. The Mom platforming admittedly took me a bit to figure out, but that made it all the funnier to watch as the Dad.
Wouldn’t have expected any less from the Bad Apple Fluid Simulation guy! (Okay maybe you’re known for more than just that…)
Hi Sebastian,
I could not go very far in the game as I had crashes each time, that seemed to happen on collision with various objects from the house. A bit disappointing as the game looks cool and I love your work, so I'd like to know if those issues are just on my end, or if you're planning or debugging a bit? In such a case, may it help to send you the crash dumps or something?
Anyway, I'll try playing on another computer when possible as I really want to catch those bugs!
Aha! I knew those procedural mountains in the tv looked familiar :). The controls are a bit clonky, other than that this is a very cute game. Good job!
This is such a fun concept, and excellent execution, as I have come to expect from the genius that is Sebastian Lague. The chaos made me laugh, and the final level really topped it all of beautifully.
Amazing game, really funny and so many mechanics! Expected no less from you! And the airplane game easter egg is nice.
Love your videos btw, you always bring such a claming atmosphere and make my mood that much better every time thank you!
First I was like, this game is so simple, what’s the deal. But then I started running as baby, teenager, mom and the loop repeated (and there was a lot of nice minigames too). Really liked that. I basically created chaos out of nowhere.
But I got stuck on finding fire extinguisher. I couldn’t manage to get to the top of the fridge or even jump on the kitchen table.
But still nice game!
This game really fun, I recommend trying.
If possible, can you please rate my game and leave a comment too.
You cant play megolavania on the xylophone. My disappointment is immeasurable. My day is ruined.
For today's coding adventure, we'll be breaking down the walls of time and space to relive a family moment 5 times in succession ....
Amazingly put together. So cool how you could see and hear almost everything you did as other characters. I was unable to grab the fire extinguisher from the fridge. I even tried restarting and knocking it over as the cat, but that did not work. What did i miss?
Thank you so much! Knocking over as the cat is a great idea, but sadly not implemented. There are a few ways to get there, but the easiest route is jumping from the table to some boxes, onto the lamp and from there finally to the fridge.
Thank you, thought I had tried all kinds of jumping. I don't think any parents has gotten so much jumping cardio :D
Here's some very dad pictures:
Also I think the music while playing the mom should have sounded extremely stressful :D
Haha nice! And thanks for sharing the pics, it's fun to see :)
Very fun!
Seeing your past selves is such a cool concept.
There were so many mini games and mechanics! It's amazing you were able to make such a game in 4 days! I had a ton of fun playing it. Great job Sebastian!
It was one mini-game after another, with 5 playable characters!! Had a blast playing this, outstanding work Sebastian!
What a showcase of game dev mechanics! HAHA Love it.
Using a time loop of recorded events from each play-through.
Count-down timer (classic!)
FPS mechanics.
Particle effects
Rigidbodies and triggers.
Render Textures for picture in picture, or should I say Game In Game!
Cryaon Drawing with a mask.
Screen Capture with the camera
Audio manipulation (how did you get it to always sound so good when it plays?!)
Platform mum jumping (that one was a bit tricky)
Nice stuff! Should we expect a video on the making of this game?
What a charming little game! The increase in complexity for each family member is very nice, and each one has that little bit of character building which makes them feel real. As the mom character I got a bit stuck trying to understand how to get the fire extinguisher, but once I figured out she had to do some sick parkour i genuinely laughed out loud, and then continued laughing again once i saw her do it in the next loop. Love it!
Awesome to see you participating, Sebastian!
Really fun experience! Loved watching all the choas I caused and taking photos as the dad. 😅
This is super cute! Playing as the final characters is very funny and hectic. Great concept and execution.
