About Break Like a Baby

Prepare to raise hell in "Break Like a Baby," a riotous free online indie game that reimagines household chaos from a pint-sized perspective. Dive into the shoes (well, footie pajamas) of a mischievous baby and collaborate with your equally wild twin as you turn your family home into an all-out battleground—all before your eagle-eyed babysitter can catch you red-handed! Every round, you'll tackle dynamic objectives as you scramble to smash, crash, and break as many items as possible. But the fun is more than just button-mashing: you'll need stealth, lightning-fast reactions, and teamwork to outwit your babysitter. Hide under tables or behind sofas to avoid getting nabbed, and spring your sibling from the crib if the babysitter catches them first.

The game's vivid cartoon graphics and slapstick sound effects bring every bit of mayhem to life, while cleverly randomized missions ensure every session is unique. Fluid HTML5 controls let you spam keys or buttons to obliterate household items—from vases to flat-screen TVs—each with their own satisfying break effects. The real twist? Your noisy antics alert the babysitter, so timing and strategy are just as important as chaos.

Playable exclusively in the browser on itch.io, "Break Like a Baby" brings the best elements of online co-op gaming—quick matchmaking, laugh-out-loud moments, and an energetic community—right to your desktop, no downloads required. Whether you’re a casual player looking for a few minutes of comic relief or a hardcore gamer chasing high scores and clutch escapes, this game’s balance of comedy and competition will keep you coming back. Ready to prove you and your twin are the ultimate agents of chaos? Jump in now and shatter the silence… and everything else in sight!

How to Play

Start by hosting or joining an online game with your partner-in-crime. As soon as the round begins, your objectives—specific household items to destroy—will be randomly selected and highlighted. Navigate by using the arrow keys or WASD to scuttle around the house. When you find a target item, rapidly tap your designated action key or button to bash, break, and demolish it. But chaos comes at a cost: the more noise you make, the more likely it is that the babysitter will swoop in! If your babysitter closes in, scramble under nearby furniture or dash behind cover to stay out of sight. If your twin is caught and locked in their crib, it's up to you to sneak over and break them out—teamwork is crucial for victory! The game wraps when the clock expires or the babysitter recaptures both babies. To master Break Like a Baby, communicate constantly with your co-op partner, split objectives efficiently, and plan your hiding spots in advance. The controls are simple and intuitive, making it easy for new players to jump right in and join the fun.
