Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
I did, your honor.

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
In a manner of speaking (heavy tweaks to SFX I had in packs, and voice changer after my performance). So, kinda, but not BFXR and such. Just good ol' Audacity.

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
It has been accomplished threefold: firstly, in the balance. Secondly, in the explosive nature of the babies. Third, if you retry several times, you'll see just how beautifully this theme is thoroughly incorporated into this masterpiece.

Super fun and chaotic LOL. It may be skill issue cause I wasn't able to sustain the babies for too much, but either way had fun playing and even some laugh when accidentally killing the babies.

Well, this game definitely fits the jam theme :) it was a lot of fun! My personal best was having 3 babies at the end of round 3, everything after that I could not do any better despite how many times I tried. This game's physics really help add to it's unstable nature. It never really feels unfair, either, if you move your mouse in such a way that it hits the bomb babies just right, they go flying, and it's your fault :)

The sound effects are disturbing but well done. Listening to this with headphones was an experience LOL. And the locked pixel grid was a great style choice. This game definitely deserves the polish it has.

The only (potential) bug I ran into was the round not ending once all of the babies had exploded. I think a good way to get around this might be to have the "R" key restart the round as well! But otherwise, this was a solid experience. Especially for only having 2 days, which I saw you mentioned in the comments!

Also, I absolutely loved the philosophy button. It has no right to go that hard. 

Great stuff!

I'm definitely stupid cause I took 20+ plays to understand the concept and actually win rounds.

Glad you  got to release a game in this jam this year
