Its fun and creative but i think it needs a little fix on the height of the jump

Fun idea and enjoyed the sound effects, but it looks like you left in some test values on the egg count. My first egg counted for 6.

sanctuaryinteractive 2012-12-18 06:57

Game idea is fun, but it seems as soon as you get an egg you win straight away as opposed to collecting them all.

I won by getting the first egg, I guess thats a bug?

tyren 2012-12-18 07:05

Pretty fun. The fox movement seemed really touchy. I fell off a lot even though I only tapped the arrow.

kewry 2012-12-18 07:13

I'm terrible with platformers lol, fun use of theme but jump height seems a bit off or maybe I'm just terrible :D

yacodo 2012-12-18 07:16

Rush for the win \o/ No sound with Opera, got a scary noise after a win (sound bug ?)

jahlgren 2012-12-18 07:17

I think you have the test version on the web :) all the eggs give you 6

I loved this little game. Great art (really liked the square clouds/sun). Music was fitting and not annoying. That chicken was relentless! Once you got used to the controls and how to out jump the chicken it was ok, but I bet I re-tried about 25 times to get all 5 eggs! Fox movement was definitely fast and you need uber reflexes to do this. I had fun though and saw it as a challenge to get all 5 eggs.

meep 2012-12-18 07:34

Despite the cute and fitting art, you did manage to make that chicken rather scary. :P It was really fun, and at a reasonable difficulty; I could picture people trying to speed-run this.

notnasiul 2012-12-18 07:58

That's what I call an Angry Bird! :D And that's the fox with more inertia in the world.

kuothe 2012-12-18 08:11

Great job! :D

jlauener 2012-12-18 08:19

Nice little game :)

Only downside is the fox movement. I think you finish the walk anim before stopping with makes it feel a bit unresponsive. However once you are used to it it's ok thouhg. Maybe it was on purpose.

joncom 2012-12-18 08:21

I haven't been able to reproduce the "win after the first egg" bug, however I'm sorry that some people are getting that.

treip 2012-12-18 08:40

I like the use of the theme here, though I seem to be pretty bad at the game.

gnx 2012-12-18 14:35

Creative use of the theme. Graphics are nice and there is sound, so no complaints there :)

Jumping feels a bit floaty which makes hitting platforms perhaps harder than it should be.

prettymuchbryce 2012-12-18 19:48

Pretty fun, and a little challenging. The ground is slippery. I like the idea, I think it's innovative the idea of running from a single baddy who's chasing you. It's clever. I liked this a lot.

chocobyte 2012-12-18 19:50

fox on roller skates..;) funny little game

illugion 2012-12-18 19:50

I couldn't jump on any platforms! D:

starspell 2012-12-18 19:50

The graphics in this game are great. I love the animations and how bright it all is. The concept is also nice.

However the jump height needs to be higher and the audio is pretty horrible.

schwiggy 2012-12-18 19:51

The graphics fit well together and the parallax background is great but my fox doesn't jump high enough to get on a single floating platform. Then when I get the egg on the ground all the way to the right it says 6/5 and I win :/

mmorphinee 2012-12-18 19:58

Nice but the fox doesn't jump high enough and slides when you run.

master4523 2012-12-18 20:53

The web version worked great for me. Fun little game. The audio on the first egg was a bit annoying but as soon as you get the 2nd egg it gets better.

bushmango3 2012-12-18 20:57

Doesn't load on my computer :( (Windows 8)

bushmango3 2012-12-18 20:59

Oh n/m I got it to work in internet explorer, doesn't work in Chrome / Windows 8

Pretty! Controls could be improved... I wanted my fox to jump 2 pixels higher...

nostradamon 2012-12-18 22:22

Yay! My best time is 17:81

cthu 2012-12-18 22:25

It's the first game I can complain I die too much! 10/5 eggs on last play.

Really cute graphics and snappy controls.

loren 2012-12-18 22:35

great sprites and animation. Very clean gameplay

eraldo 2012-12-19 00:52

I liked the music build-up

joncom 2012-12-19 03:03

I fixed the bug which caused you to win after a single egg.

rosypenguin 2012-12-19 04:39

I also wish the fox would jump higher, I keep getting eaten by the chicken on the third egg! Played maybe 20 more times and I am not sure how to get past it. :(

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 07:47

Cool entry. I loves how picking up the eggs adds extra elements to the music (a-la Bit Trip Runner)

faust 2012-12-19 08:11

Really hard but addictive entry. I think I took 10 mins to clear the game, great job.

zappi 2012-12-19 09:22

A bit awkward because of controls (which are pretty hard to make cool in platformers, I know), but the music, graphics and atmospehere are perfect :)

fireblend 2012-12-19 14:02

Pretty good! It took me like 15 attempts to get through the whole thing, but it was short enough to make me want to try again. Good job!

arch-jslin 2012-12-19 17:33

Fun to play and the BGM layers are nice. But I think control and framerate issue is a little bit annoying. :)

_rilem 2012-12-19 19:01

I like this game a lot. The moment when I picked up the first egg and the chicken came running. It was really funny.
I also like how the chicken is placed a the beginning an you think: what is this chicken doing here?
Also the graphics fit the game very well.

shaneshanekavanagh 2012-12-19 19:44

I can't believe how many times I tried that! Good job.

amoaeba-junior 2012-12-19 20:18

Liked it but was hard to stop sliding

michax 2012-12-19 20:46

Enjoyed playing it! A litle bit hard but not too much. Maybe some checkpoints would be nice.

van-merwan 2012-12-19 21:11

I loved the idea of a new instrument at each egg pickup.
Dodging the chicken was very funny. (This jump after the 4th egg... :O)

wademcgillis 2012-12-19 23:36

DEEDER DEEDER DEEDER DEEDER DEEDER. AAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH

greenpixeldev 2012-12-20 05:32

Fun platformer! The controls were a little slippery but that just added to the suspense :D I've never been so afraid of a chicken!

cwilloughby 2012-12-20 08:57

Fun. Wish I could do something to push back the chicken rather than running. Controls aren't perfect yet - keep refining. Concept is cool.

matthias_zarzecki 2012-12-20 12:08

This is lovely :)

tau7153 2012-12-20 18:07

Very difficult but I like the graphics and the song!

zenmumbler 2012-12-20 23:34

I now hate: chickens, foxes, eggs, chickens, ice worlds and chickens.

JFlegle 2012-12-21 03:07

Nice game. Movement is a little loose but that's it.

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-22 11:54

so much fun! The sprites are also adorable!

har_g 2012-12-23 12:45

nice job

raincole 2012-12-24 10:51

The background music is annoying, but sound effects are good.

danilo-bezerra 2012-12-24 19:23

I enjoyed it, jumping on the platform is a little hard though.

lotusgame 2012-12-27 09:16

Very nice game.
Controls are not correct some times, like very hard to get onto platforms :) Gl t you !

fishbrain 2013-01-04 13:07

Cute game! Well done!
