Break Like a Baby

⚠ Destroy the house in record time before your babysitter catches you and your twin... In this co-op online multiplayer comedy/survival game, play as a mischievous baby navigating the dangerous world of a typical household. Collaborate with your sibling to destroy items (by spamming keys/buttons), hiding from your babysitter under furniture, and breaking your sibling out of the crib if they get caught! Each round, the items you want need to destroy will change and the babysitter can hear you when you least expect it — so scheme together to win! Babies can be fast, slippery and devious, but will it be enough to evade the watchful eye of your Babysitter? And can you do enough destruction in time before your Parents get home? If she catches the both of you... bedtime may be inevitable. ◢◤◢◤ HOW TO PLAY ◢◤◢◤ How to Win: You win if you Break All Items, and lose if timer hits 0 or Babysitter catches both babies. How to Start the Game: (after putting in your name + selecting your character) - Player 1 puts in their name in the "name" box, chooses a baby costume by clicking "baby clothes", then inputs in a word in the "Join" box and clicks "Join". - DO NOT click on "Ready" until the other player has joined AND difficulty has been selected! - Player 2 puts in THE SAME WORD in the "Join" box, then clicks on "Join". Note: If you're playing by yourself, just type in a random lobby name and press "Ready" after reading the controls! Tips: - Remember to use [TAB] or [T] to see the items you need to break! There's 7 per round, and it changes each time you play! Not everything will be breakable... - If you get caught, it's up to your teammate to come rescue you - you'll need to "break" them out of the crib to get them out. - You can hide underneath furniture to evade the babysitter! - Sprint runs out on normal and hard game modes, so use it wisely! It also recovers slower and you have less sprint overall on hard ("cry") mode. - Note: The game can technically be played single-player BUT you will lose immediately if you're caught. ◢◤◢◤ CONTROLS ◢◤◢◤ - Keyboard - WASD or Arrow Keys to move - SPACE, C, V, B, N, M (letters above space) — spam keys to break objects - SHIFT to sprint - TAB or T to view item list - Controller - Joystick to move - Bumpers (R1/L1 or RB/LB) spam to break - Right Trigger (R2 or RT) to sprint - South/Bottom Button to view item list - this would be A for Xbox, B for Switch, and X for Playstation NOTE: All menus are navigated with keyboard + mouse, but game is playable with controller! ◢◤◢◤ TEAM ◢◤◢◤ Developed in 4 months for Major Studio Spring, NYU Game Design. We’d love to keep developing this game (creating more maps, more QOL features, more game modes, "quick play", etc.) but we would need publisher funding to achieve this dream! Until then, enjoy <3 You can also join our Discord community to find others to play with, post speedruns, chat about the game, etc.! (Link to the right of this description box!) ◢◤◢◤ KNOWN BUGS ◢◤◢◤ - If you are playing crossplay, it's better if the person playing in browser does NOT host (tends to be laggier). - Videos on the Lobby ("ready" screen) sometimes (but rarely) glitch — sorry for the flashing colors! - We cannot support a "quick play" mode at this time, as we do not have the funds for lobby infrastructure. Discord is your best bet to find other players, or ask a friend!
