Wow Very fun and funny haha

sugarsugarsugar 2023-05-02 04:06

A hammer dropped into my basket and broke all my eggs

realwangziyang 2023-05-02 04:16

It's fun whether you collect the eggs or throw them away. The combination of BGM and gameplay is also right.

Such a fun game! Nice one. The art is top notch and the music fits the farming theme perfectly.

Very cute I liked all aspects of game. the physics were a bit jank bit that comes with being physics based in 2d. Nice job

martta 2023-05-03 15:41

I liked the graphics and sounds. The graphics were very consistent and also sounds. It was also short and sweet. Was there some sort of reward for delivering more than 1 egg?

martta 2023-05-03 15:42

The game was very polished, but I feel like something was missing, maybe some extra way of moving, like sprinting, or something like that.

pauvictor 2023-05-03 15:44

I tried to play twice, but one of the chickens completely clocked the door and did not move and the animation did not play. I liked the music and the idea but unfortunately didn't work for me. (screenshot on how it gets stuck)

Apart of colladers that could be more permissive, the concept is great and I liked the end, it make me laught Feeling a bit like a reverse Untitled Goose Game, I enjoyed it !

sbeif 2023-05-03 19:10

I had some troubles exiting the initial cage and lost more than half my eggs there, but other than that it's a nice entry, the music especially is great

wetburritosupreme 2023-05-03 20:54

@pauvictor @sbeif @gigichef Dang I thought I fixed that collider on the exit, I'll check it out, the itch version should be marginally better, but physics and colliders could use some more dialing in.

@martta oh that's a great idea, a dash would be neat! And yeah, you can make a bigger egg meal with more eggs:)

This was such a fun little game, the way the chickens kept jumping at you, throwing eggs around, pure chaos! I especially liked that losing some eggs was not a big deal since you could collect more than enough on your way. Really added to the mayhem of the whole thing! Of the games I played so far, this is the first one I was smiling all the way through. Good job!

emmelinee 2023-05-03 23:04

Very fun idea! I especially loved the music! I sometimes the basket was super tough to fit though the map (I struggled getting through the tree), but I really appreciate the variety of obstacles and cohesiveness of the whole game

jared-lomangino 2023-05-03 23:06

The music was top notch. I had a ton of fun, got all the way to the end with 4 eggs and then missed the pan with all of them xD. I thought the level design was done really well, thanks for all the arrows haha.

danielb 2023-05-03 23:08

Lot of fun, the level design doesn't really accommodate the movement though, it's a lot of tight areas for a hot air balloon. Good stuff regardless, I enjoyed it a lot

drazil100 2023-05-03 23:10

I like this a lot. Great job!

noskro 2023-05-04 07:06

I did manage to bring a full basket to the frying pan. But then was unable to get the eggs out. Should have read before I played that I could use Space :D But the game was fun. The chickens were annoying, but I guess that was the plan and that's what made it fun.

stormforged 2023-05-04 09:01

Cool idea. I loved the controls on the balloon and the physics for the tray. Might not be a shared experience but I was unable to get the bucket unstuck so everytime I went to collect more eggs they would just break immediately, otherwise rad game. Also the music really stuck out and added to the chaos.

sodoj 2023-05-04 15:12

This one was hilarious! Birds crapping eggs all over, jumping on your balloon and generally getting in the way leads to chaotic and funny gameplay! I had some trouble getting out through the first door, but as soon as I did, it was the smooth sailing, or at least as smooth as it could be :p The visuals are great and the music perfectly compliments the game, making it even more silly. Well done, I loved this one!

tosmaster 2023-05-04 19:13

A really fun game with a neat concept! I liked the chaos and mayham happening thoughout the game! Sadly I could not deliver any eggs, but i managed to somehow pick up a bucket and a hammer and delivered those instead! Haha! What do you mean they are inedible? Does that mean I have to go out there and try again??? Gladly!!

wetburritosupreme 2023-05-04 20:30

@tosmaster a stretch goal was to add "special meals" you could cook, but time didn't allow:)

alyssa-sanden 2023-05-05 03:35

The chaos is hilarious, I got stuck in one version between the shovels, but it added to the pandemonium. Everything fit the vibe perfecty, a perfect collaboration of art, sound and gameplay. So fun!!

matterlinx 2023-05-05 03:48

I really enjoyed playing this game. The sound effects and background music were also top-notch and added to the immersive experience. Overall, this is an outstanding game!

dummy432 2023-05-05 13:07

i made a "runny eggs benedict"... good game

enra 2023-05-05 13:50

I like the Concept! The game is funny. It was fun even though controlling the basket and catching eggs is a bit difficult with all the chickens and obstacles.

jward 2023-05-05 14:41

Absolutely hilarious, and frustratingly fun! :laughing: Those dang implements and their handles! :fist: The music was a perfect fit, physics felt great. Well done!

cheesepencil 2023-05-06 00:52

5/5 humor a chicken threw a hammer into my basket, smashing an egg, and then it pooped an egg into the basket to replace it

nicso 2023-05-06 09:37

Nice entry

Felt maybe a little bit punitive sometimes but nothing dramatical

i loved how agressive the chickens seems to be 😅

Good work 👍

jk5000 2023-05-06 12:01

A very funny and pretty well made little game. I really like the visuals and the music. Well done.

superzoom 2023-05-06 19:17

I thought it was a really fun game! It was a little weird when the chickens froze sometimes, but overall it was great.

hwaet 2023-05-07 07:09

I feel like I hate chickens in general just a little bit more after playing this. I really liked the game! The music is well made for a game like this, and it was fun to fly through the obstacle course. I'm glad the chickens were throwing eggs at me because I lost quite a few along the way. I don't think I'm cut out to be a farmer :/

freddie 2023-05-09 21:26

Very fun game! The level design feels well-rounded, and the idea is both unique, fun and well-executed.

aeveis 2023-05-10 03:30

Nice obstacle course! I lost all my eggs, but then was able to get some more from the eggs firing at me, haha. I like the art, nicely detailed but never felt too noisy. Nice job!

shp 2023-05-12 20:41

I love the graphics and sound, found it very fun to play as well

flying-dog-fish 2023-05-12 21:36

This game is really funny. I'm not sure if the hens are trying to help you by giving you too many eggs or making you lose them or they are trying to hinder you by doing the same. I like how you get different culinary results depending on the number of eggs.

grocek 2023-05-16 10:38

Well done, great art style and animations. I really liked the use of physics elements even though it was a bit glitchy at times.

johnnysix 2023-05-16 21:03

I couldn't figure out if the hens were out to help or hinder, but I made it to the end with some eggs :egg: :chicken:

More space to move , someone automatic balloon 'rising' would be cool, so it feels more 'realisitc' (as realistic as a egg carrying air balloon can be )

Very cool idea! I love how the chickens are both obstacles AND can generate additional eggs to replenish your supply; a prime usage of the Risk vs. Reward principle! I do think there should be more space to move in general however, I think the limited space makes it both harder for you to spill eggs and harder for the chickens to actually knock out your eggs. (If you do that, make the balloon and gravity a bit faster too)
