Think of the Children

I'm pretty late to playing this game and I played it solo. Game was only designed and balanced for 4 player couch co-op. No matter how many players are in the game, you will need to take care of 6 children. You can't pass the level unless at least 4 children are alive because they are score multipliers. The side objectives give almost no points, yet some are mandatory to progress. Some levels have almost insta-kill hazards that ruin the game. Dev studio talked about a possible bug fixes and balance patch in the game discussions, but abandoned the game and disbanded before releasing anything. According to SteamDB, last game update was Nov 2017, but the dev was responding in discussions until May 2018, and their last Twitter post was in Sept 2018. TL;DR - Dev studio gone. Game flopped and abandoned. Not worth your time. Play any other party game.

С этой игрой я начал ООООЧЕНЬ ЛЮБИТЬ ДЕТЕЙ!

Okay In short get it on sale if you have bunch of friends game I got with humble bundle years ago me and my friends tried it as a "what do we play" evening we had a good laugh But the game level design does need to be more clear on some goals. as 4 grown men couldn't figure out the airport level. wich is when we stop But otherwise silly game super fun and quick rounds super chaotic BUT I think for anyone looking to buy get it when on sale or with a bundle And best enjoyed with friends

Personally, I wish I could recommend this game. For one playthrough WITH friends, it's bearable. As soon as you try to attempt all levels solo, or even try to 100% the game, it's immediately a horrible experience. I would give it the benefit of being primarily multiplayer, but the achievements do expect you to be able to complete EVERY level solo. Granted, I do believe that the devs kind of left this game to rot years ago, but after rediscovering it recently, I'm disappointed that they didn't even leave it in a fully playable state. If you want a party game as hectic as this but significantly more enjoyable, just play Overcooked or something. If this game somehow miraculously gains a patch fixing all this problems, I'll probably give it a good review. But until then, I refuse to play it any longer. Thoroughly disappointed.

Dont understand why its repetive each level is diffrent with mutiple more things But it is hard by my self

A+ on every level w/ 1 friend (2 of us), mentally struggled A LOT and crashed out so many times but ultimately we both think the game is beautiful we had a lot of fun. (please never make me get A+ on the last level ever again i'm begging you.) | This game can be multiplayer w/o local if you use steam link!! massive life saver. Normally, I wouldn't recommend buying the game at full price because of its short duration; but if it's on sale give it a try. I got it for 2 bucks and I'd do it sm more times.

it can be fun, but it's not very replayable aside from getting all the costumes in each level. The game is not balanced as it set for more players to be playing. The reviews complaining about the balance are legit. Pro: - Chaotic fun, it's basically a babysitter simulator but extreme. - unlocking costume pieces based on how well you do. - twitch integration to mess with the players. Meh: - Controls a bit slippery, but not unplayable. - remote play acts a bit off when using it. Con: - Not balanced, does not matter if you're play solo or with 4 people, the number of kids you got to take care of does not adjust. so on solo it is very frustrating to succeed, 2 is doable, 3 better, 4 is less stressful. - low replay value, once you get everything there's no real incentive to play it again. Yeah there's party mode but it's the same levels in story mode. This is the biggest con to the game is I don't feel the desire to play it again after completing a level with max rank. Overall, it's a fine game until you're finished with it. Which honestly I don't think I can justify owning this game unless it's on sale.
