Really enjoyed playing the game! That third or fourth level was an absolute spawn of the devil however (Starts with the two rows of saws, then goes into the 5 or 6 cops :cop:). I would say it took about 17 mins for me to go through it and I enjoyed it to a good extent.
I was able to go through a wall on the second level after the spikes but before the cop however which made me restart. :c
I unfortunately did not get a screenshot of that however.
Enjoyed the "ending" holy egg paradise! :egg: :egg: :egg:
Great pixel art! Clarity was great. Love the synth tones for the music as well!
I suggest that on the beginning of each level you save how many eggs you entered that level at and then on death, spawn with the eggs you started with. It felt bad having a bunch of eggs just to lose them like that. :c
I feel pretty accomplished on beating this one. You did a fantastic job! :chicken: :egg: :chicken: Untitled.png

Nicely done, but too hard for me. Cant make it through the level with cops

Very nice concept! Well done!
Pretty nice game with okay graphics. There are some minor bugs but they are acceptable. The problem is that I can't finish the second level because cops drain my eggs to quickly. Also gameplay could be explained better.
It's a cool idea but kinda difficult. Btw: I'm a student too! But I'm from Germany and 13 years old(LOL).

The starting story with the chicken was kinda funny IMHO. And it's nice to be a browser game! (I don't like downloading stuff) That said, I quickly dropped it. Somehow, the chicken always responded slightly too soon or too late. ...and once you die a couple of times, it becomes too repetitive to actually enjoy it. I didn't play very long, sorry.
I really really dig the concept using the eggs as respawn/lives. Well done.
It took me ja few tries to find out how to get past the first enemies but after that it was quite doable.
Weeeell just saw your post for ratings.... but it seems you haven't rated one yourself.. that's normally good way of getting your own stuff rated :information_source: :wink:
But will have a look :thumbsup_tone1:

nice idea, it just died too quickly / i played many times and gever got past the maze...
The intro is a bit long and the font seems to mismatch a little, but other than that :wink: Good entry
:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:
One of the first things that stuck out to me was the audio, that really drew me in. I also like the graphics, but the tiles are a little offsetting, because I'm not sure where a "square" begins and ends, so I end up walking where I don't want to. I really like the concept of using eggs as lives, as stated above. Keep making games, I can see you'll be really good, even better than you are now!
Cool concept and challenging! Very good concept with the eggs! Intuitively teaching the player early on with that spike wall! Great job!
Cool concept, I suggest to make the camera to focus on the kitchen, because sometimes I lost my character and cant see what is happening, other things are really cool, graphics, sounds and animations.

Triedd twice but for some reason, it freezes into a blue screen after the cutscene(Didn't voted because probably is something in my computer)

I love hearing about and playing games of students and new programmers. Credit to you for releasing something playable and fun.
The difficulty ramps up too quickly though. By the time you reach the second level it feels nearly impossible to get past the cops. Give the player a slow ramp up in difficulty to keep them engaged. You can also cheese your way through some of the levels. The first level lets you run through the spikes without any real consequence,
The pixel art is cute, and nice job making your own music. I hope you keep making games. I want to see what you do next.
I didn't get very far but it's a great take on Snake!!
Couldn't get past the first level...
At first I didn't read the controls and after clicking through a bunch of title screens, I mixed up the first level with some kind of a cinematic. Thought to myself, that this is epic and all, but when do I finally get to play. And only after the screen went outside the level bounds, I thought that this is probably not a cinematic after all.
The game itself is like a classic snake on a deathrun map. Which is quite interesting and worth exploring further. As for improvements you might consider constraining the movement of everything to the grid, that would make things less chaotic and feel more fair and transparent to the player, I think.
