i like the game! Although, it's hard knowing what exactly tall and big means bc I don't know what measurements constitutes a baby to be smaller than average. Additionally, can there be an option for us American folks? It would be wonderful if there was an option for inches/ft & lbs.
ok I have not played this game yet so I don't know how the genetics work in the game but there are resscive genes that could affect it just played it a bit its weird you assume big parents big baby also great game
yeah but also if your struggling, blood type, skin color and eye color helps really well, eye color brown always dominates but there's a high chance it would be different
Everything here is solid. I would love to see this the setting and story fleshed out if you decide to make a full release.
The one thing that seemed weird was the baby names. Shouldn't the parents know their baby's name? (Assuming they named them.) And wouldn't the baby names be unknown to the state? (If records were destroyed.)
The idea of matching babies to kids is an interesting twist on Papers, Please! and can really be taken into interesting directions--the genetics described aren't accurate to real life already (e.g. 50% on skintone and hair), so you could add some fantasy/biopunk stuff if you decided to expand on the concept.
I love the extra creepy factor about placing children with parents. There's some reeeeeeally fun and messed up story stuff you can go with there if you develop this.
I dislike the "light the baby you want to select" mechanic. I have a hard time matching skin tones when vastly different light levels are used. It's also harder to scan eye colors between babies and parents to compare them--even if something is obviously blue or green or brown, there's a recognition lag as the brain compares objects with different lighting.
The order of genetic info you get has issues. Once I got bloodtype, I used it to select babies almost exclusively, because there's no 50/50 stuff like with hair and skin color.
"Weight" and "height" feel kinda tacked on. I don't know normal baby weights and heights off hand, so if I want to use them, I have to compare them to all other babies to see if they're significantly different. It doesn't help that average heights and weights vary by country, so I don't know what constitutes tall or heavy for parents by the game's standard.
Thank you for that review! Biopunk additions is very great suggestion, and it can fir out fictional dystopian world. thanks for the criticism, everything is on point and will be taken into account in further development.
i think i found a bug. i was playing story mode and accidentally hit 'back to menu.' i didn't see a continue button so i just hit story mode again, kind of upset that i had to completely restart. much to my surprise, i didn't have to restart! but i also didn't get to play that day, i went up a day. i found that strange so i did it again, hit 'back to menu' then back into story mode. i went up a day again! i decided to see how far i could take it and i finished story mode without playing! i may have gotten fired but it was for science lmao
There is now save games in current version, I can't upload bugfixes until Jam voting will end, so this bug will remain in the game for 2 more days. Anyway, thanks for reporting!
How about putting a message somewhere in the game saying, something like,
“Please note: this game is not available on the App Store or Google Play as a mobile app. If you see it there, it is PIRATED and I would like your help to report it to them.”
So if the code and assets are copy-pasted, this message would show up and expose the app uploaded as a thief.
I can't update game build until jam voting end. I already prepared new one with bug fixes and secutiry measures, but I can only upload it on sunday after jam voting end.
Love the level of pressure, although I did end up disregarding most clue types for the easiest to identify later on. It just goes so much faster if you dont bother to check the blood type on kids whose eye colors dont match. I never had to use baby size as a clue in story mode, what would the transition points for large and small parents or babies be?
Thanks for playing, baby weight and size has relation to parents, but its not a strong clue. We also wanted to make parents and babies to have different size based on that parameteres, but we didn't have enough time to implement it. But we will do it in the full game version.
It sadly lags a lot in my browser to play properly, but I love the concept and the little I played was quite fun! If in the future you make a downloadable version maybe I'll give it another try :3
Such a great puzzle! The sense of mystery grows and I became so much more hooked each round. The music worked very well, the animations were simple and effective. Unfortunately, my mac crashed just after ending the "+" or "-" round...Possibly related to the game?
As the man who made the music for the sorting section...I am so happy and proud of this game! Great twist on "Papers, Please!" that does it a great honor, and I'm so glad to have contributed! I have more music you can peruse here:
Wow. this one wins it for sure ! so polished and great idea this actually has great potential for something great ! my humble advice is to make gameplay harder in story mode, other than that it's actually so fun to play.
Thanks! From my perspective the theme is in that fact matching wrong baby to parents is a bad thing, but it's necessary if you want to help Order of Genesis, and it's even mandatory, because we all make mistakes.

super cute game; the mystery aspect was fun!
Sadly froze after clicking the first start button on firefox, but worked on Chrome. Thanks for making!
This is pretty cool. I love the mystery and the ideals of the dangers of eugenics
Great Idea, Love it!

This game was so fun! I like how it is similar to papers, please! I wish it was a bit harder but overall great game!
Thanks for playing!
I liked it, I like how the difficulty progresses and I'm giving the children to the revolution but I regretted it very soon after 😔
pretty good but it keeps crashing on my end and I've tried everything and my internet is good
I'm sorry for that, what device and browser do you use? If you can, please play in Google Chrome.
oh it's all good I'm on a MacBook with safari so that's prob the problem
i like the game! Although, it's hard knowing what exactly tall and big means bc I don't know what measurements constitutes a baby to be smaller than average. Additionally, can there be an option for us American folks? It would be wonderful if there was an option for inches/ft & lbs.
Thanks for the feedback, suggestion about customary units is noted and will be implemented!
do you think more storyline will ever take place? like the letters changing based off if you follow the blue or red letters?
We have a large non-linear plot in the plans, and a game of 3 phases (the current choice of children + 2 more), so yes!
I started playing it and... I give the kids to the revolution but I feel like something is wrong😭... but it's a great game❤❤
ok I have not played this game yet so I don't know how the genetics work in the game but there are resscive genes that could affect it just played it a bit its weird you assume big parents big baby also great game
yeah but also if your struggling, blood type, skin color and eye color helps really well, eye color brown always dominates but there's a high chance it would be different
how to check blood type?
its later on in the game

We didn't even think about it, but this is an important point, we will try to remove this discrepancy in further development.
Some compliments and critiques:

great game, did not miss any :DDD
Congratulations, your game got stolen.

I know, sad story.
I thought of an idea about this…
How about putting a message somewhere in the game saying, something like,

IM BEING WATCHED?!
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT ILLGEAL!
I THOUGHT IT WAS ALMOST LEGALLLLLLLLLL!
Love the level of pressure, although I did end up disregarding most clue types for the easiest to identify later on.

Thanks for giving it a try, I removed downloadable version because of all that story with App Store thief.
I saw! That's infuriating, I hope they get removed from the app store
I only missed once, and I hate it.
It wasn't even on the hardest wave(s)
this game is GREAT loved it, 10/10
Excellent game! 10/9. This is not a jam game; it has the potential to be perfect.
very fun game! hope you guys are able to get justice with the app store copycat
hopefully
Thanks, still no luck with that, Apple said that we need to contact thief by ourselfs.
timothytomato I think the App Store copycat game is gone now. 🙂
Super fun game! Great work!!
Very fun game. Well done. Art is gorgeous. Concept is fun.
The game won't load on my browser :/ I press on the "story mode" button and then the screen goes down under the table and I'm stuck
I'm sorry to hear that, what browser and device you use? Try to play in Google Chrome, if possible.
I played on Firefox on MacOS
same issue here, same browser and os
Very cool! Reminds me of Papers please
Игра оказалось очень прикольной, но у меня появился вопрос: как мы помогаем Ордену Бытия, если отдаём детей тем родителям, о которых говорит Орден?
Спасибо за отзыв! Пока этот момент перекладывается на воображение игрока, но если игра получит развитие, раскроем эту тему подробным сюжетом.
Such an awesome game!! Congratulations team x
It's extremely fun to just be sorting babies
That game is fucking good.
really good
Such a great puzzle! The sense of mystery grows and I became so much more hooked each round. The music worked very well, the animations were simple and effective. Unfortunately, my mac crashed just after ending the "+" or "-" round...Possibly related to the game?
Thanks for playing! I'm sorry that game caused some issue, was you playing from browser or downloadable build?

Loved the music! It moved just enough and had that air of intrigue to it.
Thanks to you for making such a great theme, that matched our gameplay surpisingly well!
Wow. this one wins it for sure ! so polished and great idea
this actually has great potential for something great !
my humble advice is to make gameplay harder in story mode, other than that it's actually so fun to play.
Thanks, we'll take your note about difficulty into account for further development.
Amazing visuals and very intuitive play!
If I was made to choose among a patriotic mission, the responsibility of Custodian and my Bell, then you already know the answer.
Very fun little puzzle adventure game with the vibe of Paper please.
Polish art and UI, sound effect, especially my beloved bell.
Thanks, if we'll decide to develop game to full release, there is definitely many things left to polish!
Im not sure the game will run well on iOS devices, please try to play from PC/Mac if you can.
k sadly I only have Mah iPad so idk lol
feels complete and very addicting! the art and music are also on point! but i don't rly get how the theme was implemented?
Thanks! From my perspective the theme is in that fact matching wrong baby to parents is a bad thing, but it's necessary if you want to help Order of Genesis, and it's even mandatory, because we all make mistakes.
The game is really good! Clear reference to Papers, Please!
It's very polished and a really good idea. I got to day 7.
Thanks, yes, "Papers, Please!" is still a great game and strong inspiration for us.
