It's bizarre yet very amusing at the same time. My only complaint is that the drag and drop feature is a little unintuitive. The game would feel much more addictive if you could collect chickens by simply clicking. Despite this, I still like it a lot.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the idea :)
could see this on a mobile game :3
Thank you :)
Really sweet idea! I feel like the game would have been improved by clearer UI buttons, and maybe a tutorial as well — but I get what you were going for, and I think this could be a really fun game for someone with better aim than me hahaha — great work! :)
Thank you so much for playing! Yes it could definitely be clearer, I will possibly improve this in the future :)
Very good. Nice to have the choice to buy time or more eggs for more chickens. Feels like it needs just one more system for when you end up with too many eggs and can keep buying time.
Thank you! Yes you are able to get to a point where it is hard to lose if you play well at the start. I was planning to add a mechanic such as random events or the chickens getting faster as time goes on, but I did not have time in the end.
Interesting idea, but I can't see how it affects the gameplay much. It'd still be the same game with the roles as they normally are, wouldn't it?
Love the squat when an egg lays a chicken!
Thanks for playing! I understand what you mean, as there isn't a particular game mechanic that comes from the theme, I just thought it was a funny idea :) Although this way around it makes sense that you could accidentally crack eggs, and that the items being laid on the ground (in this case the chickens), are able to run away. Glad you like the squatting eggs :)
Egg hatching chicken. I... didn't see this coming xD
The game is pretty simple to understand and it's easy to get in the game loop. Was a bit surprised when I accidentally cracked an egg.... and then proceeded to do it again by accident xDDD
Great job man! 😁
Thank you so much! :)
Great interpretation of the theme. Also loved the audio-visual elements.
Thanks for playing!
I love how strange the eggs look! I also felt extremely bad when I cracked an egg on accident, having the chickens be able to leave the screen is a good way to keep the player engaged, my poor golden chicken got away right when I needed them the most. I think It would be good if you could transfer chickens you've already placed on one side to the other side to allow for last minute saves etc. Really nice job on this though
Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! Yeah there are definitely some improvements to make. Glad you liked it :)

Egg Chicken is a multi-level parody of the question "What came first? The chicken or the egg?" The concept is really fun, even if the delivery is a bit scrambled.

The game was cute in a sort of disturbing way; which I enjoyed. I was confused about how to play at first, then when I figured it out I was a bit disappointed. It didn't seem like there was a lot of room for me to progress. I only have one mouse to drag a chicken with, even if I have zillions of chickens on the screen. Perhaps the game could have been scored by the amount of chickens rather than the amount of eggs.

Fun idea! A great thought experiment for the "Chicken and the egg" question. What came first? Well the eggs, obviously!

The game suffered from a lack of clear UI prompts that made it hard to understand what I needed to do to progress. I did like how you demonstrated the core mechanic on the menu screen though. I think I would have been more confused otherwise.
Thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback. I'm glad you liked the idea, yes there are quite a few improvements I would've liked to make if I had more time. The game is scored by how many seconds you buy (minus points from cracking eggs), although how to play the game isn't as clear as I would've liked. Glad you liked the menu screen :)
(I deleted your other comment as I think you accidentally duplicated this one)
Oh yeah, thanks for that. I've done that by accident a couple of times.
I came back to confirm my review for you. I've decided to leave it as-is. I'm giving you a follow though, so I look forward to what you'll do after the jam :)
Thank you :)
Nice gameplay idea :) I had a bit of a hard time figuring how to play, but once i got going, nothing could stop me! (High score: 30 😅)
Thanks for playing! Yes I would've liked to add a short tutorial but didn't have time. Nice score :)
Such a simple yet addictive game! Great job on the core loop
Thanks so much :)
Great concept! I could spend all day playing this game.
Thank you so much! :)
Interesting idea, wish there was a bit more to it tho
Thanks for the feedback.
It is official, the egg came first. Jokes aside this is pretty good game.
Thank you :)
A creative and fun game :)
Hilarious idea; super simple yet so addictive! It felt so satisfying cracking the eggs, I never managed to get a good score, lol.
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you liked it :)
Better than any other aim trainer out there
Thank you :)
Silly game idea. Very simple but well done.
I have no idea why this is so addictive, but it is! Great concept and art!
Thank you so much! :)
