Look GOog

I loved the art! Reminded me of "Don't Starve Together" for some reason, and it was fun trying to not make the egg crack. The controls in my opinion were funky but that's not a big issue, good job!

Submitted

Fun game, nice to see a platformer where the goal is to go down.

Submitted

The egg design is absolutely perfect !

Submitted

The hands and movement animations are really cool!

Submitted

love his wiggly hands he's so gross! cool way to differentiate with the movement mechanic, good job!

Submitted

Interesting idea here, I like that the goal is to go a deep as you can, but you can't go down multiple platforms or else you'll break. The controls feel a little finicky; the yolk flare doesn't feel super helpful as I noticed it tends to light up a very small area around it, and the ambient light tended to be more helpful for me over the yolk flare. I also kept trying to move left and right in midair and that didn't really work, though that makes more sense as I think the idea is that you have to commit to your jump/movement when not grounded. Just felt a bit awkward to control, at least for me.

The art is solid! I like the egg character, it reminds me a lot of the art style of Edmund McMillan (the Super Meat Boy guy), and the atmosphere is pretty great; same goes for the sound/music. Really great work on this submission!

Hi, I'm one of the devs for this game.  Currently the player is unable to move mid-air. This may be changed in a future update following the conclusion of the jam. I really appreciate that you compared the art style to Super Meat Boy specifically, it was an inspiration thrown around when talking about both the character and level design. Thank you so much for playing our game.

I like the animations in the game, it looks funny

Developer

Hey everyone, music dev here. Thanks for the positive comments!

Submitted

I really laugh behind this game! I like this interpretation of the theme.

Submitted

Hahaha! This was funny to play! I love it! The Character and map graphics did however feel out of place. Is there supposed to be audio too? Otherwise, the death animation made me laugh! well done!

Submitted

this is definitely a unique entry! the player is oddly horrifying and i love it! petition to call him Eggward?

Developer

Thank you everyone for playing! I heard your feedback about the game-breaking bug with the colliders and I have issued a minor bug fix so nobody's game will be cut short by getting stuck. Happy diving!

Submitted

 Nice idea. Very innovative.

Submitted

Good game . The character movement animation was cool.

Submitted

Its a nice innovative touch on the game :)

Submitted

this was probably one of the most innovative games i played this jam, very genius idea and nice way of implementing it through mouse movement.
im not sure why i suck at the game tho cuz i die at a certain point all the time xD

but it doesnt change the fact that this game brought something very unique to me!

great job ^^ keep it going

Submitted

Cool little piece of art. Was ok and playable.

Submitted

Some issues with colliders, but overall the movement mechanic was really interesting to work around. Nice job! Please do try out our game.

Submitted

Nice Game and Music though there is this bug where Eggy gets stuck in between two objects, Overall pretty fun 8/10
