I got stuck at the part with the magnet and the towel holder thing. Pretty neat game though

naamed 2020-10-06 11:11

When the world catches up to the idea of egg magnets, I know what game to credit it for

Cool idea! Things were a little too dark though, and at the beginning the camera was panned all the way over to the top left rather than focusing on the egg, so I was a little confused. Managed to beat it though. I like the way the music gets more filled out as you progress.

Fun "Rube Goldberg machine" mechanic and nice aesthetic, especially in the intro - how can I not enjoy a game with magnetised eggs?

demuss 2020-10-06 16:20

@corrupt-spaghetti @naamed @mrosegreen Maybe i should do game fully about fin foiled eggs if it's so great? : D

@dragonzbw Yeah, i should lock the camera until the first egg falls

Thank you all

Cool Game. I liked the idea of constantly discovering new objects in the room. Also the music / sound design was somehow catching. As you already mentioned you could improve the beginning. When I only saw a black screen, I was so confused I wasn't even sure if the game was properly running in the browser. Overall a good and funny entry.

Very fun game, got the egg out safely, well one of them at least, we don't talk about the others.

It's a fun and original game. Very creative and enjoyable. Congratulations!

@stratcat66 Thanks, my friend that helped me searching for sounds already got his free beer

@ziamor Thats the 1st rule * wink *

@gonzalol Thanks : D

A very fun game! I love the discovery aspect and the game just kept surprising. Overall, a very fun game! However there are 2 points of improvement I think should be made:

1. The camera controls felt like a drunk wrestling match, either make the boundary where the camera starts to adjust wayyy further out or make separate camera controls to the mouse.

2. I think the game would benefit from having proper physics. Maybe it's just me but I felt that the movement of the egg was just too weird, as it followed a simple set path?

Having said that, this game has incredible polish and overall lovely graphics and simplistic yet satisfying sound design. Have a thumbs up from me!

It was really fun! Thanks!

It's a fun game, I love the audio and the music. I managed to complete it altough the roll was not really reacting to my clicks, so I got stuck in the magnet part for a good while. The graphics are simple but look nice and fit the rest. Nice game!

vphyre 2020-10-15 15:22

Your game is very fun, unique and creative. Its controls and mechanics are simple and functional. The graphics are understandable, and the sound is good. It is very satisfying to prevent the egg from breaking hahaha. It really is a great job. Interesting your interpretation of the theme. Congratulations.

legolaz 2020-10-15 15:22

Yeah! I won. It was fun, but the camera movement so clunky. Very interesting idea, Good job!

mediyaz 2020-10-15 15:24

Haha this really made me smile :) I love me a Rube Goldberg machine. I love the ever-expanding loop of stuff the egg had to go through to get onto that train at the end, a real epic journey!

jonas-michael 2020-10-15 15:24

Pretty nice game. As it was said before, discovering new elements in the room was a lot of fun! I may have found a bug though, because the first egg didnt land on the train as it should, even though the train was already there and ready. Or maybe I missed something else? Anyways, nice sound and fireworks at the end :D

demuss 2020-10-16 10:00

@st1cky Thank you too!

@bajtix @jonas-michael Thanks, yeah the game has some bugs like the roll or the train (and many, many more) but imho it's better to have some bugs in game than deliver under-develop game without finish line and other important aspects like sound and "5 minutes" polish that change the world for player.

@legolaz Fuck yeah! You did it!

@vphyre Thank you, what is this weird warm in my chest after reading your comment? : D

@mediyaz Glad it did spawn smile on your face : ) thank you

@notsoepicgames Haha "drunk wrestling match" yeah thats fair, camera isn'y great. I didn't use physics because its way harder to control. The problem itself is that: i didn't had time to tweak it well because i had all the control over egg like: acceleration, velocity, trajectory, etc. Glad you liked it : D

Very cool concept :) I am amazed by the different ways peoplw have found to make a game out of this theme. I love the art and music. Qutie lovely and fitting for such an entry. All in all very good entry :)

undefinist 2020-10-18 09:16

It was a cute little game! I particularly liked the egg being angelic and lighting up parts of the level ;) Only thing I got confused about was picking up the screwdriver, I thought it was a spoon for some reason due to limited vision. Once I spam clicked and clicked on the pluses I realized they were screws. Overall great job!

tetha 2020-10-18 09:20

Oh this is such a lovely nonsense puzzler, I love it. Haha.

midorimelody 2020-10-19 19:52

This game is awesome. I was so confused at first but after I got the hang out it I was hooked. I also love how you did this ending credits. This is too cool!!! Great job!

philipprapp95 2020-10-19 19:58

Oh my god, I just love it :D Definitely one of my favorites this year. The crazy-machine-vibes are really strong with your game, funny graphics and cool riddles, i loved how you used the mechanics through your game. Cool idea to reveal the full level with lights on after the credits.

palemek 2020-10-20 09:45

Incredible take on a theme, i just hope that game could be a little longer ;D also some way of knowing that you already have taken a tool would be helpful

doomshmuck 2020-10-20 13:23

I liked it! It took me a bit to get started... I thought at first the build was broken, not realizing that the camera was controlled with the mouse. I saw the first little light briefly and then it disappeared to the bottom-right, and I was really confused, until I moved the mouse around. It's especially bad with the web build, as the light is only there for a brief moment, so it looks like there's just a black screen. May could have used a little message or something saying that the camera is controlled with the mouse? Besides that, it was a pretty solid hidden object type game. Nice job!

alchemic 2020-10-26 14:14

I loved this game, absolute wonder to play. The sense of discovery as you turn on lights is fantastic.
