Hi, tried to play in HTML5 version. But got 404:

Maybe you've forgot to publish it from draft stage?

lorwon 2020-04-21 12:57

HTML5 Not working :'(

Link doesn't work :)

romarogov 2020-04-21 13:02

Sorry guys, I had itch.io project in unpublished state. Please try again!

bitingcold 2020-04-21 13:03

@preda seems weird, it works for me though

bitingcold 2020-04-21 13:08

I really enjoyed it, reminded me a bit of monkey ball series ;) Adding a bit more variety to level design would be nice)

Fun little game. I found (surprisingly ?) the first level to be challenging enough, mainly due to the way the egg moves. The graphics are very sharp, and everything responds perfectly. Great job !

Strenghts : - Cute graphics - Great take on the theme - Tight physics-based controls

Possible improvements : - Show a minimap of the level to anticipate the required directions in which we need the egg to go

romarogov 2020-04-21 13:12

Thanks! Levels are autogenerated for now, but on level ~20 it begins to be interesting. Levels will be harder and harder until level 100. I'm still on level 31 now :)

sanjana 2020-04-21 13:16

I love the graphics and the concept.

mikest 2020-04-21 13:17

hey! pretty fun little game. I'd love to have some sound effects to go along with it.

whydoidoit 2020-04-21 13:17

On the web on my Mac there are frequent long lags that make it a little hard to control - I really like the graphics though and the motion is interesting to play with!

Oh my god the tension in rolling the egg! Simple and very elegant concept, I see a lot of potential for a mobile game. I wasn't able to go up for some reason, but I guess it is intended: if that's the case, maybe it could have been more intuitive to go upwards and give a clear feedback on why I can't. Maybe having only one possible direction (like everything could be a downwards slope) in each level could help. Great job, very smart.

palsina 2020-04-21 13:23

It's fun trying to roll the egg because it's irregular and a bit unpredictable. The only thing I didn't like is perhaps the going towards the camera movement, I'll prefer to see a bit what's ahead! I had fun though, really. Congrats.

Hey this was nice game, beautiful visuals and nice level complete animation! I only had ifficulty navigating, maybe zoom camera out or more narrow levels could help viewing the levels? With additional features and gameplay refinining this can be a real fun mobile game! Great job guys, good entry.

the physics feels really nice. I find it hard to find all stars though.

room606 2020-04-21 16:32

Very nice and simple concept, 100% fit in theme. I would maybe add sea sounds and some caribean music to enhance game experience and make game more live and funny.

P.S.

And yes, what about Easter Eggs in a game related to ~~Easter~~ Eggs? :wink: Are there some?

romarogov 2020-04-21 18:07

Thanks for the responses! I composed some calmy music and added it to the web build. Hope it can be treated as bugfix, I did opt-out Audio category anyway :)

room606 2020-04-21 20:28

@romarogov FYI: this could be interesting for you. A 2D dimension incarnation of your game :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/breaking-egg

emperor-eagle 2020-04-22 10:10

Wow! This game is really good! Superb combination of graphics, mechanics, and audio for an great mood! Really had a fun and peaceful time playing it!

(P.S. I know how you feel, I also didn't realise you had to make an itch.io project public after publishing it.)

2nd edit :) Wanted to say that the egg breaking was executed really well!

stefanie-leitch 2020-04-23 00:05

Not a bad game. It started out interesting, but by level 3 it felt like I had played the same level 3 times. Perhaps some color variation or something?

romarogov 2020-04-23 00:11

@stefanie-leitch good idea, thanks! Difficulty curve is a bit slow actually, but I was afraid to scare casual gamers :)

purenickery 2020-04-23 00:15

Very difficult, but a lovely little game, the graphics and physics are great

adsilcott 2020-04-23 00:18

Very nice game. I liked the element of having a non-spherical object to control, it adds some interest to the controls. Nice graphics.

levi 2020-04-23 00:18

Overall, I found the gameplay enjoyable. At first I was confused as to why I couldn't roll forward, but quickly figure out that the egg starts off on a slope. I agree with the comment above, it would be great to ad some color variation within the levels so they all have a different feel.

Saving the egg from splatting was a fun take on the theme!

benjouille 2020-04-23 00:20

It's super cool to see a mobile game on the jam, especially a good one like that. Pretty simple concept but very well executed. Very smooth and satisfying to play. Just a feedback : sometime it's hard to estimate if your movement is going to break the egg, and you end up surprised of loosing. Except that it's a super cool game really enjoyed.

martinitron 2020-04-26 19:49

Nice game! maybe it could do with more level variety. Thought the 3D graphics were nice, though it was odd the stars were only 2D.

jk5000 2020-04-27 08:26

This overall a simple little game idea. The game is okay fun too play, but I would wish it got harder much faster.

julian-hartinger 2020-04-28 13:45

nice graphics- i like the sound - its reminding on some yoshi stuff with the sound and the look of the egg- pretty nice.

matootsy 2020-04-29 06:21

Very nice music and sounds. The 3D art is good and clean. (Perhaps it would be good to make the stars collectibles in 3D too). Not much in the theme but the game is interesting. We feel the fragility of the egg, and it's good to manage a smooth way to avoid to break it. (And small joke : The bottom of the ocean is very hot to make fried egg directly ^^). Congrat.

nonon 2020-04-30 10:04

Good one. The music makes it very relaxing. Maybe a bit more variety could make it a bit more entertaining.
