Little Bobby’s dead, the BBQ is on fire, Jen’s eating poisonous berries and the birthday cake still needs icing. It’s just another wonderful day out with the kids in Think of the Children, a frantic parenting simulator for up to four players.

UX improvements needed
It could be a fun game, but it isn't. Keyboard controls are basically unusable; expect to use a gamepad to get anywhere. It only uses the mouse as a menu selector. It could be worked out much better than that. The game tries to show key tips, but it doesn't do it well unless you just use letters. UI's got a lot of issues. Starting a game shows the xbox-style "join game" screen (including the "Press [Green A] to join". Lose a level? You see giant numbers flashing covering the entire screen while you can still interact with everything. It's easy to miss the tiny text in the corner that says "tap [key]" to retry. Where no key that I've assigned appears to do anything. I get what the game's trying to do -- a frantic action game that pulls you many directions at once to accomplish everything you need (basically, directed button mashing). It's just not doing it well.
