Yayy, I love the sound effects!
I'm hoping those poor eggs endlessly falling into the abyss will be okay though :(

alwaysinbeta 2013-04-29 13:09

Thanks. The sound effects are real recordings of the baby chicks we were looking after over the weekend :)

The first time I met the egg, I gave it some momentum as I jumped over it. It prompyly pushed me into the cliff as I came down. I could imagine the chick going "Not coooool brooooo!"

Little did I know this was just a premonition of things to come. I have laughed and cursed very hard at the cascading eggs down the stairway.

Cool game, made laugh!

Cool, it ends when you get to the giant chick, right?

alwaysinbeta 2013-04-29 15:56

Yup terrivellmann you should have got a win screen. Might be a bug...

Controls were kinda tough but I thought it was adorable.

chuigum 2013-04-29 22:23

Like the chick, nice sound effects and physics.

Loved the sound effects and the frustrating inertia on landing haha. I was rolling the egg along like a circus act hoping for it to hatch. :(

For some reason I kept thinking I needed to jump down into the holes. Also the controls were slightly laggy, could be my net connection tho.

I like how simple and how fit with the theme ^^.
Nice sound effects too :D.

Really liked how the eggs were reused as obstacles.

rustybroomhandle 2013-04-30 16:12

this was a very fun and adorable game. I liked the physics and how the obstacles were eggs. over all it was a very fun game.

the pew pew sound are quite nice.
I had some trouble with the bouncy reception but I finally help the chick to come back home.

I killed so much chickens while playing haha... this must be a good game ;)

Slow begining , but fun, i didn't like to much the jumping,maybe if you add some wings animation, has more senses those light gravity jumps :D

granada 2013-05-03 18:08

The falling eggs are damn hard! Nice chirp and graphics. Good job!

cherrynukacola 2013-05-04 07:42

That is one adorable baby bird.

sudorossy 2013-05-05 22:10

Too laggy to play properly, not sure if it was part of the style but made timing jumps basically impossible. I don't exactly have a bad computer either.

alwaysinbeta 2013-05-13 12:45

@sudorossy That is strange to hear. I haven't seen any lag on old or new machines. It is so minimal after all..

galman 2013-05-13 21:39

Nice platformer :) Had fun running on those eggs :P The controls were a bit too laggy

sylvain-p 2013-05-13 22:08

It will be better with potatoes.

aymes 2013-05-13 22:08

Good fun! Loved the level with the big set of steps and all the eggs were coming down. Bit of an :arghh!: moment, but in a good way :)

phocker 2013-05-13 22:10

very nice -- cool that you used real chick recordings -- nice job.

csanyk 2013-05-16 04:06

The jumping mechanic was too frustrating. Bouncing + inertia made for a lot of unfair deaths. Audio is a +. Levels could have used a little more variety (I got through the 3rd level). What were the eggs for?

georgebroussard 2013-05-20 21:04

Echo everything csanyk says above. Solid effort for 48 hours though. Keep adding to it. primary thing...work on the jump physics and air control. Too slow :) Apart from that, go go go
