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! :)
This game gave me a crazy hand cramp, and I could not stop playing. Well done!
Glad to hear it haha, thanks for playing :)
Creative idea, well done!
Now i'm really not sure what came first
Dang those eggs have legs! Sound effects were a little loud at times, but I like the funny concept.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback.
The game is very weird in the best way. Its simple and fun and super creative. Really great work I loved it!
Thank you so much!
I guess now the question of what came first is finally answered. Solid submission, those walking eggs will haunt my dreams.
Thank you very much. I'm glad you'll remember it haha :)
a nice twist on the concept!
Thanks for playing!
