How does your game fit the theme?
Countdown is implemented by having the kids have a mood timer that ticks down and if you dont attend to them in the limited time you will get a penalty point and getting three will lose the game

This is so fun!!! So polished and I love the mini games you decided on. They're perfectly simple, yet hard under time pressure. Also I like that you added the difficulty of the trash getting in the way on day 2.

Submitted

Yeah thats about what kids expect from you at that age. I like the added challenge of the trash in the second level. 

Submitted

Cute game with good concept, kids are as annoying as irl

Submitted

You really captured the annoyance and anxiety of having to tend to multiple bratty kids... congrats!

Really cool jam entry :)

Submitted

cute and interesting idea of mini games with cats

Submitted

Really liked this!!! Would have loved to play more. Think it was a good execution of a micro-game game

Submitted

Very good entry for the jam! :3

The game is very fun and adorable, I enjoyed a lot playing it. I loved the sound design and the artwork. However, it's a bit unfortunate that the game has only 3 levels but that didnt really lowered my enjoyment of the game. The games are not repetitive and I loved the mecanic of picking up trash. ^^

Congratulations ! :)

very adorable theme and art. It's like a cooking game but in a kinder garden and i like it a lot. I think some sound cues for all games using timers could really imrpove the experience by a lot, it adds a sense of urgency and reminds the player of the time without them looking at the timer (just my 2 cents as i also didn't manage to add that in my game but wish i did haha).

amazing artstyle! i love the colours and overall vibe, great job!

Submitted

Artstyle is spot on and the kids were accurately stress-inducing

Submitted

I love the pixel artstyle and the cozy color so much! The gameplay was a bit tough but overall is good

Submitted

This brought back some fun memories of working with children lmao. Great job, the art was very cute and I liked how chaotic it could feel at times seeing those kids about to crash out!

Submitted

so cute !!

Reminded me of the "diner dash" games from way back! 

Loved the artstyle and the slow ramping of the difficulty! 
I enjoyed it a lot! 

Awesome work :) 

Submitted

That's a pretty cool game.  I beat it after losing once.  Nice difficulty balancing.

Submitted

Really cute game, and surprisingly hard!

Submitted

Cool game!

  • Sound design was good
  • Art was really clean!
  • movement felt a little clunky on keyboard. I think free movement would have been more fun for me.
  • Puzzles were good (could have used more of them)
  • I would have liked to just click the letters for the word puzzle instead of dragging them. Maybe that's just a skill issue 😅
  • Being able to exit out of a minigame in-progress would be nice
  • Pausing during the guitar minigame messes up the win-condition on unpause
  • Level 3 is tough! I'd like to see a bit of the room during the minigames to see other timers.

Overall good concept with great art & sound design

Submitted

Great game, really fun!

Fired just before the last day ended, good thing I’m part of the AKU (Animal Kindergarten Union)!

Really fun game! I like the intense gameplay contrasted with the cute theme. But it gets really hard really fast, the difficulty might need to be tuned.
