Message from the creator(s):
Tag-teamed this game with a single teammate. We struggled with the networking, but we are really proud of what we got done in the span of a week! Hope you have an eggs-cellent time with it!

How does your game fit the theme?
The robot player has to guide the chicken across gaps where, if he lets his temporary platforms fall, will lead the chicken's untimely doom. The chicken player has to trust in the robot's abilities to lay out a path to follow while a deep chasm ever lurks below.

Really fun game. However what we didn't like was the lobby, since I could not see who I was joining to, and I could not see who joined me. Also we found camera controls very bad. I could not look up or down very much, which made jumping hard. Another thing is we found mushrooms much more useful than barrels, so much that we did not use them almost at all.

Very fun idea, just played it with a friend. Fits the theme perfectly and we made it to the end :)

One small caveat: I was the chicken and it was hard to judge the depth to the next platform. Might be a combination of the single color water and the camera.

Awesome, thanks for playing!

Yup, definitely agree. We’d been struggling with how we wanted to do camera controls/movement for a while. Ended up going for a player controlled camera and a blob shadow to try and help with the platforming but it definitely needs some tuning. Appreciate the feedback!
