Nice game, really hard puzzles too

Cool game ! I had to die many times to memorize the patern to progress haha It was fun and the level design is good !

I love the detail of the watching eyes all over the place. Also the difficulty is just right for me, I haven't felt underwhlemed nor overwhlemed. Good Job! :smile:

Good idea and interesting puzzles. But I haven't had enough responsiveness in controlling character.

Nice entry, pretty hard, eggshaustive way to lose. Well done.

Good job for making it in only two days. Good puzzles requires a lot of work and balance. I couldn't find the solution in one of the first levels so I stopped, but I'l play more when I'll have more time. Good job

Great job! I really like the inspiration and the art style.

Thanks for the responses so far! I love hearing your thoughts on the game. If you made it to the end, please let me know. I am worried that I made it too difficult/unclear.

@agegorin Thanks for the feedback! If you mean the slight acceleration/deceleration of the character movement: this was done intentionally, to make sure that traps are not too easily avoided.

@team-prosit Thank you for the kind words :smile: Some solutions are hidden, and can be found by poking around the corners/dead ends.

Very punishing! I got to the section with the multiple push-arrows, and could see the solution there, but the egg was just too fragile to land. :slight_frown: :egg:

Fun game, who doesn't love eggs! Some of the puzzles and platform sections were a little too hard for me, traps are one thing because you can learn to dodge them, but it can be quite difficult to manage throwing the egg and not damaging it when you need to. Everything else was pretty good!

Many details are merged in the level design. This is really great. Using physical moving in platformer is an unusual design (except some early flash games as far as I have known) and I found it difficult to go past the first door because the controls are not similar to other games. But in all the ideas throughout the game level is awesome!

I couldn't figure out how to get past the box... it kept breaking the ground below it and turning it into a spike pit. I'm sure there is so much more to this game, and I'm probably missing something, but it felt unfair as there's no indication why the floor breaks, or that it was going to to begin with. Other than that, I like the concept, and the sounds are pretty goofy. nice work.

Great level design, and by great I mean I hate it.

Nice platformer, I love that he picks things up by putting them on his head, and the little robot eyes watching you are very Potalesque.

kent-reese 2020-04-22 23:48

Love all the little details you put into this game! The level design is really well done and it felt good to progress.

Well, hello fellow egg game maker!

Really liked the concept for this one (obviously) but felt it was a little lacking in execution. Controls were a little strange but that's a common issue with many jam games, understandable. I think the throw controls might be improved by having the action button do a forward throw by default, and down+action drop the item.

I enjoyed the fast pacing of quick deaths/restarts but felt the overall difficulty was rather steep from the get-go. I got as far as the blocks that come up and down, but could not seem to throw the egg to safety over the gap without breaking it. I don't know if I was just completely missing the correct solution, but it seemed like the egg was just a bit too fragile. The physics/movement/collision of the objects felt very smooth and satisfying though. There are many neat mechanics here that iterate on your core idea, and I think with a bit more polish to things like control/difficulty/graphics/audio it could become something really neat :)

Great game. I like the jumping sound effect. I wish the game starts with an easier level. But this game really has potential and well done.

tropos 2020-05-07 00:25

Overall I liked this, but the mechanics with the eyes are annoying after a time and the egg is too fragile. I would like several stages of egg breaking :)

redsponge 2020-05-08 12:48

This game was really fun! Since I could still control the character after the egg broke I didn't get that I *must* restart, but after I understood that it was really fun! I got quite far but not to the end (the many arrows room is where I got stuck). The controls felt great and I love the pun in the title. Overall very good game!
