Crybaby

Wah! Wah! Wah!

Warning: This game contains content that some people may find offensive.

The first game that I ever made, Crybaby is a simple puzzle-platformer, with several levels and a fully-fledged level editor.  The storyline and tone of the game are easily summed up by the following sentence: “The world has been overrun by indestructible babies.  Make them cry.”

Crybaby is written in C++ and makes use of the SDL.  It was developed in October of 2008 as part of a 48 hour game design competition held by Warwick Game Design. The theme was “Evil”, which I think justifies the whole baby-hitting aspect of the gameplay.

It was co-written by Alan Hazelden.

The Good:

• Relatively complete — it has a level editor!
• Good fun.
• Supports multiple players controlled with a single keyboard.  A bug-turned-feature.
• My pixel-art turned out better than I expected.

The Bad:

• Needs more levels.
• No sound effects.
• No full screen support.
• Game assets are too small.
• Some people find its content offensive!
