Cool game, great guitar, smooth mechanics, and fine graphic, not so hard to beat but still challenging, well done!

The art is so nice! Scenery and character look great, and the visual feedback for the egg damage is a nice touch

@fabrizio-spadaro Thanks so much for your feedback! We did have an extra long jump section but thought it a bit mean for the first game, so removed it. Also had ideas of player health but imagine playing level 5 with player health! plus unfortunately time limits. Good to know though!

@captainabi Thank you so much for playing our game. We're fans of the egg crack too!

I like the pixel art, character and eggs. The game is based on an simple effective gameplay mechanic. Only the character controls are a bit stiff. You made many levels! Congrat. That's nice for a gamejam :)

Great game! Really cute and fun, congrats!

Good job on your game!

Simple but working well :) Enemies were too small, it was hard to see them. But that was your goal maybe.

Good

I really like the music and the mood it brings to the game (It reminds me, baby, of you...). The assets also look pretty. There were framing issues with the visuals though, and in the menu and the win screen, the music was only in the left speaker. Some audio feedback when the snakes cause you to drop the egg (and perhaps more visual feedback, like a flash of red or shake etc) would help identify the cause of dropping the egg better, since the snakes are often hidden. I like the use of the text prompts at certain points, but they should be bigger and remain visible a little longer when leaving the trigger zone, as it would be possible to miss them. I had to walk back to read information that quickly disappeared.Screen Shot 2020-04-21 at 11.53.37.png

Nice art! Great idea! Interesting level design! Awesome final of the game! :-D

Really fun platformer. I loved the graphics, and the mechanics were solid. A+ tutorial work. I see you closely followed the Super Mario tutorial method and what the Super Meat Boy developers with introducing mechanics slowly and bringing them together in the end. Over all, it was fairly easy. Good work!

@samuel-hollywood-summers Yeah we did notice unfortunately that in some cases there were framing issues with some screen sizes :( Appreciate all your feedback, really helpful :)

Really nice game! Great job :smiley:

There were some jumps that were far and pretty difficult to make (which isn't an issue, but then I had to walk the whole way round to get back and jump again) and maybe up the movement speed all in all a fun game with a clever concept and cool music which fitted the visuals, Well done!

igoreshka 2020-04-21 13:03

Another egg, lol :sweat_smile:

goldfish-games 2020-04-21 13:10

A bit frustrating to play probably due to lack of a coyote jump and because snakes were so darn hard to see, but seeing all the wildlife was engaging :)

adinimys 2020-04-21 13:19

The controls are a little difficult to use. I feel like the jump is quite heavy. But it's original with a fun universe and style. Though the animal that jumps from the trees has a style way different that the rest giving a weird contrast. Still, good job !

Nice game ! The difficulty is well-balanced, and the art is nice :ok_hand: You did a great job :D

coleslaughter 2020-04-22 19:33

Dat ending cutscene...what a twist...

This was a nice game. :) Simple, but effective. Sometimes I would drop the egg without really understanding why it happened though. As far as being challenging, I felt that the difficulty curve was just right.

Also the art was super cute and charming! Nice work all around!

Thanks, this game really fuels my Australian dread of long grass. I'm not sure I'll head outdoors ever again :)

simon-rahnasto 2020-04-24 22:18

I loved the eggception at the end. Also figures that you're Australian with all the snakes hiding in every bush! haha :smile:

The art was really cute, specially the way the girl holds the egg with her braids. Great job!

Nice game.. character is so adorable, the problem is the jump button, it really takes an effort for me to jump onto another level. anyway, good job on making this :thumbsup:

afkgroup0 2020-04-27 11:01

Very good. However I am not really good at platformers, so it was way too hard and maybe a level selection menu would be great.

finnthepirate 2020-04-27 22:35

great concept, i like it, good job

euforia-games 2020-04-28 16:47

Really cool game!!!

leroivi 2020-05-02 16:10

cute game, I see some effort on level design need to be balanced in order to get harder or get a chilling story good feeling

danthegreat 2020-05-04 04:30

Great chill vibe! Clever idea to have the egg take damage each time you fall. The in-game tips/tutorial was a nice touch. I had a little trouble with some of the jumps-- not sure if it's just me or if the movement mechanics and/or controls could use a little work. Definitely had fun playing this one!
