Nice game! Catching the egg with your helmet is really fun. It would be nice if you didn't have to be so precise in throwing the egg. I would maybe separate the tutorial into a few levels, so you don't have to learn many things at once.
Love the music and art style. Agree with what others have mentioned about difficulty and input confusion. I spent a while thinking that if I held left-click that'd increase the power of the throw. Also tried jumping then throwing in mid-air, which worked sometimes but I don't think was intended.
the momentum of traveling by grabbing the egg when moving was actually intended and going to be used but we didn't have time to make super in depth levels.
Really nice game ! I also couldn't get passed the second level at first, did not know the "cursor further = throw harder" mechanic either ! Perhaps an arrow going from the character to the cursor or even a progress bar at the bottom of the screen could make it clearer but it might not go well with the general tone and aesthetic of the game (which are both really creative !)
I was going to put in a power bar next to the player but as soon as I started that I decided it was going to be too complicated off the bat for me to finish on time. thank you for the Comment!
Made it! it was pretty fun to play around with the throwing mechanics, music was great too. The tutorial took me a moment to figure out, especially figuring out how to throw the egg, but it was pretty satisfying once I pulled it off. The last level was interesting being a little more complex, it had a bit more of a puzzle element to it.
Can't beat the second level not sure how to do the power thing. Good job with the background tutorial, it gave me the extra motivation to try to figure out all the mechanics included in the game. Feels really polish.

We wanted to have more time to get the level design down like it would be in a regular game, sort of ramp up the difficulty but jams be jams.

This is indeed a clever idea. I think the mechanic could be explored much more, I hope you'll work on other levels after the jam :)
I've been thinking about it actually. this is the most unique mechanic I've made, thank you for the comment!
Awesome job!
The visuals were pretty cool with the limited colors available and it was just really fun to play too.
Thank you! really appreciate the comment!

Thank you! I wish I had more time to get the mechanic more polished but you know what happens!
love the music, also im glad to seed other game based around taking care of eggs
This is really creative take on the theme! Also really like the visuals great advantage of the color palette challenge!
Great work!
Thank you so much!
Cool take on the theme, executed well. Good job submitting!
Thank you!

The power is the further your cursor is from the egg the harder you throw! I tried to make it clear but that one was difficult lol thank you!
