Well, I completely suck at this. No wonder Dodo is extinct.. :-D Graphically it's nice, I like this simple style (only these spikes - they shouldn't be opaque). The game seems also memory hungry when the reset is clicked few times - probably some leak.

This is the only game I rated this high! I caan keep this playing forever! I suck at this game... but I love everything of it! Except the file size, of course. Here's the HTML code for a web-version:
<applet code="com.intelligentbeans.dare.Main" archive="eggcited.jar" width="1024" height="640"></applet>

Nice! The graphics made me smile haha

Wow, this one is really fun. Is it intentional that the creature is running all the way over on the right side of the window? It is almost impossible to see obstacles early enough, quite frustrating. (NOTE: I just played again and maximized the window, now she is running roughly in the center, you might want to check your geometry or start the window maximized).

But all in all, the gameplay is really smooth and fun, the graphics are some of the nicest I have seen in the compo so far and the music matches the theme very nicely.

One of the best games in the compo!

Wow, that was so hard! But the graphics were so cool, haha. I loved it. The music was amazing.

I couldn't get too far! But very nice graphics, cool music. I laughed out loud when I saw the characters face after dropping the egg. Nice job

I love his face when he is looking sad.

Great graphics and fun gameplay! It's nice how much time that's spent on the animations! :)

A fun concept, I really like the graphics. My main problem with this is that the camera is too far zoomed in so you can't see the obstacles coming.

Charming game, though I would have liked it if you could look farther ahead.

This is really good!! And really nice music as well. :) I love the look on its face when I drop the egg..

linuus 2013-12-16 21:46

Love the graphics, incredibly cute!
I found it a little to hard, but that's probably just me sucking! :P

A Fun little game, its quite difficult, but can be rewarding when you make a jump without dropping the egg. Also I really like the concept, you did something other than "You only get one life" or "you only get one bullet", nice work!

:D O
:C .o.

I sucked at it, hehehe. But I got the idea, and it's nice. I think it could be nicer to have a bigger fov for the camera, so we can see more of the screen and therefore of the egg when it is flying. Most of reasons why it's so difficult is because you can really see the egg, and handling the acceleration it's already a fine mechanic to keep the game fun.

Fun way to pass the time, nice audio (:

tomski 2013-12-18 20:49

Awwww, his face when the egg breaks :(

Nice and fun game, I failed pretty hard though.

stmatn 2013-12-19 23:06

The game is fun as it is, since it is quite hard too keep the egg, but you might want to double check the hitboxes and eggdropping mechanics, since it feels a little bit frustrating instead of challenging. I would think about either fixing the eggs x-coordinate to the player or give the player more movement options, to make it easier to recatch the egg.
Besides that, the graphics are quite simple, but really awesome! They fit really wel in my opinion :)

It was fun and funny only cause of the bugs but it was fun cause it was a fun game it a nice try and a nice effort great music too.

jsjwooowooo 2013-12-19 23:26

Fun game, but very difficult! Poor little egg!

fate 2013-12-19 23:54

I loved this. The character's face just makes it. Hard but that makes it addictive.

glovecat 2013-12-23 19:07

It's a funny game but so hard for me :D

hadesfury 2013-12-25 22:13

I tried it on android, it's really hard! I managed to jump over a few obstacles after many tries. I like a lot the expressions of the little dude!
One nice thing, you didn't forget to have a clean way to exit on android!

Like others have mentioned, carrying the egg is quite tricky! Interesting twist to the infinite-runner-genre, would've liked more freedom in the movement though.
