Wow, really cool game. The deep really adds something to sokoban...
I like how you explain mechanics, and I like your level design (the last took me a while...).
Congratulations!
Traditional box pusher now with height setting! Amazing! Good pixel art, makes object connection cause its eggs and pan.
Really fun puzzle game! It's like sokoban but with eggs and frying pan, well done! :)
Very nice mechanic!
What can i say ?Everything is great.Really fun brilliant game.
Yeaaa i always look forward to your game :) This one is really cute. It's definitely hard to read the heights of the tiles, but with a little fiddling it's really not too bad. The crate/box logic is very satisfying.
It would be cool if you could walk onto an egg (breaking it obviously), then you could have a puzzle or two where that's hard to avoid. And speaking of which, you might already know but it's possible to walk onto an egg when its on a crate... I assume that's a bug? It lead to an odd but interesting solution to level 16.
Anyway, great game as always! Level 21 was awesome.
@toboggan Thanks for pointing that out, it is now fixed.
I tried your game with a friend. I really like puzzle game and I enjoyed yours ! The graphics are cool, however sometimes the different 'levels'/perspective can be a bit difficult to understand. You could maybe pick 3 different shades of yellow to helps us see the 3 levels (I found out that the black outline were designed to help us, but I think this could make it easier :D). Your level design was nice too with a good progression to help us undertand all the mechanics.
Really clever puzzle, each new mechanic is introduced perfectly, and everything feels well polished. A great entry !
Great work. I played through to level 11 with my wife until I had to close the game because she was getting too obsessed! This is a compliment. The only issue she found was struggling to differentiate between the height of the blocks. I didn't have that problem though. Great work, keep it up!
This is a really nice and cute little game ! I love it, good job !
Thats really cool and well made. The graphics are adorable. I love this sokoban style
Very fun concept and great level designs. Level 4 was super interesting; had me going ooOOOOh and then reversing a bit a few times. Only thing is that i found it very hard to tell what the heights the blocks were
I really like puzzle games. I love how you incorporated the theme into this game. Nice work.
Lovely puzzle game with charming aesthetics. Keep up the good work.
This was really cute! My brain got tired on the last level so I didn't beat it, but it was really good. The puzzles were very well-designed, the buttons raising up when you hover over them was a nice touch, and it was a very solid game. My only complaint would be that it's hard to tell the platforms apart when higher ones are in front of lower ones, as the brown panels and height difference don't stand out very well, which makes solving the puzzles harder since I can't really "see" the puzzle as well. Still, I enjoyed it a lot!
I love it! It's so adorable C: even the tiny window is cute. Very stimulating play as well
Fantastic Game! You actually found a way to polish a game jam game. That's awesome. Let's get some super catch music and get swipe controls and you can put this on mobile and sell RIGHT NOW!! It's definitely good enough. And so many people would play this as a mobile game!!! I don't know that for sure, but honestly, don't you think so?
Yes! Another omelette themed game! We had the same brain wave. Congrats on getting it done!
I really like sokoban games and this egg version of it is pretty good. I didn't expect to see over 20+ levels but they were pretty fun and challenging too.
Simple, nice and effective. Best game so far for me. So many levels and interections. Really loved this game. Congratulations!!
Great improvement on sokoban ! The mood feels very nice and fresh too. I sometimes struggled with differentiating heights tho.
It has a really nice feel to it! Well polished, I like the sober graphics too, and the puzzles and mechanics are well balanced, pretty unusual for a jam game! Congratulations :)
Easily the best game I've played this LD. Amazingly much content that ramps up difficulty nicely, incorporates the tutorial into the gameplay, and provides genuinely interesting puzzles. I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find something of this level of quality in an LD.
Only improvements I could point out are that: Even just a simple music loop in the background would have been nice. It was a bit difficult to differentiate between the different height levels at times, but it was surprisingly intuitive, and didn't bother me nonetheless.
A lot of interesting levels, almost all of them. I missed the sacrifice part, more levels where you are forced to lose eggs, I guess that was the idea? The aesthetic is a classic for Steven Miller, solid and coherent.
Really clever little puzzler! Height differences add nice depth. Only thing I would improve is making the height differences in blocks easier to distinguish.
Really loved it! Got stuck at lvl 21 (the last one?) I liked the art and the sound and the puzzle design. Good job! PS: I've just finished the last level. GREAT puzzle design, congrats!
Amazing game, awesomely polished! At first the heights are hard to distinguish, but you get used to that really fast. It's astounding how much content you managed to create in just 48 hours! Easily one of my favourites.
Pretty great! Like the style, puzzles are all interesting, and have a good difficulty curve. I would have liked a little more animation when something falls down a level, sometimes I didn't quite catch what happened, though undoing and watching again did always let me figure it out in a second or two.
I found the way you dealt with heights and pushing very unique, and not quite like something I'd ever dealt with in another game, worked out really well for this game.
The last level was splendid!
I was unable to win without breaking some eggs.
I love the concept, the aesthetic and the gameplay. One thing: maybe you should make clearer the difference between height steps, they were a bit difficult to distinguish.
Fun idea for a puzzle game, solid work.
You could make the height differences easier to see by just making the lower levels darker for example. Otherwise the graphics style is quite nice and everything's clear.
There's an impressive amount of levels - on the other hand not all of them felt that different, a bit less may have been more in this case. Level 21 was cool, difficulty spiked but it was an enjoyable brain-teaser.
Nice game ! It is a classic setup with a funny and creative idea !! Sometimes the height was difficult to see, but overall its a really nice game ! :D
really nice game, very well designed puzzles (though the difficulty curve could be a little more in-order) and fun concept! Got stuck on a couple tricky puzzles but managed to get through all of them. nice job!
I really enjoyed this entry. It kept me engaged and wanting to see what levels came next. Great job. :D
Ahh, great use of the theme and I love that you converted a common saying ("you have to crack a few eggs" and such) into a clever puzzle mechanic. It's a bit hard to read the depth in the orthographic perspective, it might work better in isometric, but the layering you did with the sprites was good as a shorthand for height. Really the only problem is that all of the levels were possible ;)
This is a spectacular puzzle game with very clever progression. The introduction of new ideas and "mechanics" is super well thought out and intuitive. The presentation of the game is excellent and the amount of levels and content is really impressive. One of my favorites that I've played so far. Fantastic job!
cute little puzzle game
i had to quit because it was really tiny on my screen (my resolution is really huge on a normal-sized screen) and I couldn't tell how high the platforms were in relation to each other.
overall i liked the concept but i wish it was easier to read the level design
Really cool puzzle game, love your art style, simple but effective ! Great job.
Cute, i like it. The level design is well done to explain the mechanics.
very elegant puzzle design, probably the game I spent the longest in this gamejam (level 21 is though!)
I love this kind of game. I'm not very good when there is too many possible solutions to explore, but you seemed to strike a good balance, with clever puzzles but simple elements. Good job !
Very nice puzzler! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/1t-6rdylBrI
ez game but level 21 hit me like

Yay I like it! 😊
I need to admit, I love your work. Your puzzle concepts are always new and innovative. WHat I find lacking though, is the "game feel". There's hardly any sound and no music, which I understand might be from time constraints or lack of ability to make audio, but I think that your should team up with someone who can do the assets and really make your game stand out. Great job!
I like the "break a few eggs" linking with the theme, a neat little game here, shame that the relative lack of audio
@nnnikki I agree, the lack of music is unfortunate and mostly due to time issues (I lost around half the weekend to a project for class). I should probably look into getting someone to do music for my other jam games, though I plan on sticking to compo for Ludum Dare since I find the harsher rules more fun. That said, there is actually a sound effect for everything that happens in the game (moving, undoing, one for pushing each object, and one for each object falling). They may have been too quiet, I have a habit of keeping things at a fairly low volume.
know it's you once saw the cover image. After seeing your awesome work several times. Same taste of design reflecting your personal style greatly!
I guess with Lucas as my profile picture it's no coincidence I like this omelette-themed game lol
Amazing game with cool graphics!)
Great puzzle game! Game mechanics are simple yet interesting. Levels feel unique and well-designed. I think it only lacks music and maybe better graphics. Other than that, it has everything to be a good game! Congratulations for making it :-)
Great entry! Nice twist to sokoban mechanics
Really neat puzzle game. Even though audio is minimal the sound of the eggs cracking is oddly satisfying
Your idea is very unique and hilarious in a positive way :smile: I like it! What i do not like are the graphics, in specific the way you represented the different heights. Sometimes I could barely get used to it, what height which tile is. That made the game more difficult it has to be.
Beautiful game with great puzzling. Innovative idea that fits the theme nicely and the sound are simple and satisfying. Solid entry! I wish you the best of luck :top:
Excellent design. I wish there was a solution for level 21 somewhere because I kinda get most of the idea but can’t afford to spend enough time putting all the pieces together… *edit:* nevermind, I couldn’t sleep so I eventually solved it :laughing:
Love it! 5 Stars for fun! My friend and I are your fans. Awesome level 21! And I realy like the simple art style. But the theme is a little weak.
I'm trying to design a level for study with your source code. Thanks for your sharing.
@gogu Thank you, and I apologize in advance for the source code. It is a complete disaster, as my implementation of height was very short-sighted (there is also a bug that I don't think is fixed in that version where you can occupy the same tile as an egg if you move from one stool to another of unequal height). Levels aren't too hard to make with the way I have it set up, the only in-level code you need is if you want a stool to be taller.
Simple puzzle game that fits the theme well!
This game is awesome, I love it! :smiley: :heart:
Simple and addictive game :smile:
One of the best compo game, awesome!
I love it, really nice game! :smile: :v:
I rage quit on level 16 haha. Super challenging puzzle game you got here. Well done!
I got hung up on 16 and 21. Gunna keep trying this evening.
This game is clean and has a cool theme on top of it. The sound and art are simple, but clean and the puzzles generally feel pretty dang good, especially for a jam game -- so nice work with that! I've been wanting to do a puzzle game, but 80% of that is getting a mechanic that you can explore. It looks like you did that very well.
Graphics are nice and puzzles are tight but pretty hard, and I wasn't able to beat it unfortunately. Would love to see a walkthrough for the game! The main issue I have is it's hard to see the height, which makes the puzzles much harder to solve since I can't tell if a move is legal sometimes.
@jusw85 Thanks! I have a link to the solution for level 21 in the description, I might make a full solutions set later though.
I little bit hard to visualize the floor levels but I liked a lot! Very interesting concept. Congratulations for the amazing entry!
This is really brilliant. As was already written, I very appreciate the level design slowly teaching you game mechanics, and also not too steep progression of difficulty. What is included is great and creates perfect mood (I even enjoy the silence only interrupted by subtle and decent action sound feedback), what is omitted is not missing. Perfection without what would be extra :bow:
Wow, awesome game! I LOVED level 21, it took me a while, but when I finally figured out how to get that pan to the right place it was such a cool aha moment I haven't had for a long time. Amazing compo entry.
A very clever puzzle game where all pans must have an egg. My only suggestion is to make the tiles more recognizable on the height since the tint can be confusing on other players. Amazing work on this one.
Big puzzle fun over here. Loved the concept, level design and presentation. Lots of clever things there. The only thing that didn't really let me enjoy it was height representation, it was quite hard to tell which height each tile had. Maybe they should have different color sets.
Sat down and played this with my friend Bassel. You made our day. Awesome awesome game, we absolutely loved it and played it through to completion after a break in the middle. I feel like my life is better because I played this game. Good art can change your life and this is good art.
