⚠ 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".


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!

Developed in 4 months for Major Studio Spring, NYU Game Design.
Based on 3.5-week prototype proof of concept game made in Major Studio Fall, which you can play here.

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.! ▶️ https://discord.gg/uE2EeJXCuj

◢◤◢◤ KNOWN BUGS ◢◤◢◤

  • WINDOWS > WEB BUILD. But you can try either!
  • Game "freezes" on WebGL when "quit" is pressed — this is normally the quit /exit button on the Windows build, which would close the game! Because WebGL doesn't have that, it appears to "freeze" instead. Feel free to reload the page instead. 
  • Videos on the Lobby ("ready" screen) sometimes glitch on web — sorry for the flashing colors! This is a WebGL thing, haha.

Finally, a game to satisfy my deep, destructive urges, suppressed since childhood. Yet another proof that babies are evil chaos agents and are to be contained until reaching self-awareness.

Thank you for the experience, it was very fun :) I liked the art style and how "juicy" the game was. Escaping the babysitter in the last moment was sooo satisfying!

is there local lobbies and private lobbies and public lobbys

is this multiplayer

Hi! I love the concept of Break Like a Baby, but the WebGL version runs at 10 FPS on my Mac (Intel Core I7, Intel UHD graphics).
Would you be willing to upload a macOS version of the game?
Since it's made in Unity, I believe you can just switch the build target to macOS and export — I'd really appreciate it!

wait is that really derek yu or is it a joke?

(+1)

honestly love the concept. i hope more area come out to break lol 

Thanks for playing!! Glad you enjoyed it. Just added your video to our official playlist for playthroughs!

This was a fun game, cutscenes were great, the mechanics seemed really good for me. I Imagine it would be a lot easier with friends to play with, Keep up the good work.

Pretty Cool game even during solo but wish i had more friends lol

Don't know why everyone said it was hard it was pretty easy even the last level

in the future maybe there could be more maps or if uploaded on steam there could be online servers as it reminded me of who's your daddy so it could pop off on the more kid  friendly channels

wow

#1 Most DESTRUCTIVE Baby EVER

I'm terrible at this game but I loved it!! Super fun, a lil scary almost??

solo impossible, but with a friend we got at least the newborn level. baby almost!

this is the game that the commet

Show post...

wonderful game!

This game it too hard lol

(+1)

This is a fun game! I did struggle a bit with the part where you have to repeatedly press the spacebar to break things — it felt a little too frantic. Maybe holding the button instead could make it feel smoother. Also, the babysitter sneaks up really quickly and suddenly, which made the button-mashing feel a bit off, especially considering the more eerie, moody vibe of the audio. Just a personal thought, though — the game is clearly well-made and enjoyable. Great job!

(+1)

Thanks for your thoughts and for playing it!!

As a tip: you can use the keys above the spacebar as well! (see on the ‘controls’ page after you join a game) Makes it a little easier than just pressing one key, and we had some players use two hands (or have a friend help) to make it easier! 💕 

Just wanted to mention in case it was missed, since we didn’t have enough time to make a full tutorial, haha

(+3)

I played this irl!!! Super fun!!!

A ideia do jogo é muito boa!  Porém, nas opções "Name your baby" e "Enter a room name" é permitido um número infinito de caracteres, provocando um bug no jogo. Seria legal se limitasse a quantidade de caracteres.

Outro bug encontrado é no momento que o bebê destrói a banheira. Eu sendo usuário jogando, ao destruir a banheira, o bebê fica exposto mas parece que os colisores dos estilhaços não deixam a babá ver.

Such a creative idea lol. I enjoyed playing it. Will definitely try multiplayer with a friend

(+1)

i wish it was easier to play solo

(+1)

Just the game that I like. Thank you for making the game!

Very cool little game! Unfortunately we do not have any friends to play with, and I refuse to play with the other guy... nevertheless, sweet little game but a little hard for us. (Gameplay at 08:00)

(+1)

Really short and sweet game, the best part is being able to play it in coop!

I recorded our experience with me and my wife! 

spamming the keys but the item just shakes not breaks. i hate when im an idiot and cant figure out a game

Hey, you’re not an idiot! We only made this game in 4 months so the tutorial is not robust, not your fault at all. 

You have to spam the keys quickly in order to break items! Try hitting a bunch of keys at once or using both hands. Some items can be broken while you’re hidden (like the couch and the ball, hide under the couch to break those two!) so use that to test it! 

If it STILL isn’t working, try downloading the game instead of playing it on web. Best of luck!! 💕

It's easier if you alternate between spamming a letter and the space bar

(+1)

The main menu theme is amazing

(+1)

Thank you! Will be coming to streaming platforms + YouTube soon!!

so fun vut make a feture to play with randoms

MAKE A QUICK GAME OPTOIN NOW

can't offer a quick game option unfortunately (see our dev log about this) BUT we can offer a discord server for you to meet + play with others!

no obligation to join but this is the best we can do for now ;-; hope it suffices! https://discord.gg/uE2EeJXCuj

:(

This so fun game broh , i will recomended to my friends

(+1)

This was a fun game! I played it with a friend, and it was way faster than playing alone. 😄 Playing solo is definitely trickier, but with a friend, the babysitter's attention gets drawn away more easily. 10/10 game!

The only issue I had was that the sound can't be adjusted, which makes talking while playing a bit harder. 😅 But other than that, the game runs smoothly and had no issues.

Ohh that’s a great point! Ngl most of us just lowered our entire browser volume in the system settings and turned up the Discord volume when we played online 😂 

Definitely a QOL feature we could try to add!! Thanks for pointing it out! And glad you had fun with our game + posting a vid 🥺♥️
