Jeah, really cool game. I especially liked the cute graphics and the music which fits very well. Here some feedback or things to improve:

  • The jumps need to be very precise, however sometimes if you jump very close to the edge you cannot anymore. Even if on the it looks like you are still standing on the ground. Maybe it has something to do when the player is detected as standing on the ground. I had a similar issue in my game.
  • I did not like that the eggs from previous runs stay in the game and block sometimes your movement.
  • In the rush I sometimes did not see the thorns and jumped or ran multiple times into it. Maybe you can make them stand out a bit more.
  • The three lives did not matter for me. I died always immediately (maybe because I dropped the egg?). Maybe it was something you had not time to implement.

Anyway, congratulations to a very cool and especially cute game!

Really fun and full of polish and charm. One nitpick is that the moving platforms have little thorns on their sprites- that made me think that if I stepped on them I would die cus spikes = death. Maybe you should retexture those

Fun and nice art and music! Flappy bird difficulty haha

This dinosaur is so cute! I like a lot the idea to carry the egg with us. I would even go further and not having HP points at all, so that we only had the egg to care about :)

Brambles are a bit too dark in my opinion, they look like they're part of the backgrounds.

I unfortunately went out of bounds: I went a bit to far on the right of mushrooms and the dinosaur has fallen through the ground ^^'

Anyway, it's very fun to play and the music adds a good vibe to the game: well done!

Very good for a first platformer. Nice art style and music. I would make the moving platforms only collide from above. So you can jump from under them and land on top of them.

Agree on the collision on the platforms! The timing was difficult without that.

Yeah this would have made it a lot more easier! Will be definitely trying this next time 😊

Fun, but brutally hard.

I really like this game! Good graphics and music. I'm very bad at it haha I will keep trying to cook my omelete

Fun game! :) The dinosaur design is really cute - love it! The game is deceptively challenging. The ability to try and recover the egg if you get hit is a very nice game mechanic.

This is a good game ! I love the idea and how well it has been implemented. But I haven't been able to make an omelette so far because the obstacles look like details in the background (maybe for me). This is the only thing to improve in my opinion.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! 

I think next time we are going to use some thicker borders / idle movement on the obstacles.
