Baby Blimp
Baby Blimp, by Youda Games, is a cute time management game. There are two alternating levels: one where the babies are "produced" on an assembly line, and a delivery level where the storks bring the little bundles of joy to the homes.In the "assembly" levels, requests come in for a specific baby type (girl, boy, no preference), and you pull the slot lever at the correct time for the correct baby to come out from the machine. You control the main stork, who is responsible for making sure they don't fall down, get a toy, fed, cleaned up, washed, a nap, and get sent back on the "assembly line" to be put into a chute and sent off. The more babies you can send off at one time, the bigger your bonus. You also get bonus points for completing the same action more than once. If the babies get unhappy, you lose points.
For the stork delivery levels, you can earn bonuses for delivering the same gender babies in a row.
Like most time management games, upgrades are available, both in the production and in the air force delivery levels. The production allows for additional help with the clean up, upgraded toys, more beds and washing stations, and more bottles produced at once. The delivery upgrades involve making the storks faster (for happier parents and more points) and adding to their strength so they can carry more than one baby. This will come in handy when the twins, triplets, and quadruplets start to appear! For extra dramatics, weather conditions sometimes cause a quandry for delivery - and the storks must be properly equipped to handle the weather.
There are also achievements to be unlocked. Each achievement is shadowed out, but you can hover over the shadow to find out what steps you need to take in order to earn the trophy.
I found Baby Blimp cute and fun, with the one complaint that I prefer time management games where I can hold and do more than one thing at a time. I found that I often forgot to throw the dirty cloth in the laundry, which made me fall behind schedule. Once I got the upgraded attendant, it was a lot easier.
