# Kinder Guardin'

 - Colorful custom pixel-art!

 - Grim social commentary

 - Chaotic, fast-paced fun!

# Description

Little Timmy has a fascination with the power outlets, and tiny Debra left the lid of the class-snake open. It’s not easy to keep a full classroom in check at this kindergarten, and even harder since the children copy the behavior of others nearby!

Wrangle, and herd this class together to try and keep most of the little rascals alive. Use your whole bag of tricks as a teacher. Including throwing candies, and chucking chalk! 

The better you do, the less funding you will get as a teacher (since apparently you don’t need it ;p), and the fuller your classrooms become. Beat this game before you get a burn-out! Or snap, and leave the tiny creatures to their own fates.

## Goal and Theme of the game 

The goal is to keep all the children in your class alive for the course of the schoolday. You as a hard-working teacher will let nothing happen to these tiny creatures under your care... or will you?

Use everything in your power to keep them engaged with puppys, candy, or when the carrot doesn't try the stick and chug a piece of chalk at them, or scare them with homework it's your call!

# About us

We are a team of friends from the Netherlands who love making games and programming. We wanted to make as much of the game on our own as we could. Just how much we did you can see below. We hope you all enjoy our little game, and maybe, just maybe, if you enjoy our game leave a like/comment. We also love to hear (constructive) feedback! :) 

# General details about our game

* Built with Unity.

* All textures are fully custom made, huge shoutout to @joost and jorn!! 

* Sounds, tracks and other audio effects are taken from other (open) sources. We do not own the rights to the songs we play and we do not intend to use any of this in any commercial form and ask our players to do the same. By playing and downloading our game you agree to these terms :)
