- Fun game, enjoyable egg jumping game, although struggle to see the alchemy part of the game! A very enjoyable vibe
- You are a menace. Thank you for existing and thank you for this eggciting game. The theme could have been implemented more directly but this does well for what it is. The jokey text lines and responses in the comments are top notch. This is a great little experience. Keep it up!
- EGG. EGG CRIMINAL. I enjoyed my Egg Journey, Nice nether portal. Humor on point, horrifying finale, the theme could have been a bit more solid and i would have liked a few more animated objects, but thanks, i'm horrified.
- I couldn't stop laughing, doesn't fit the theme well but thank you. I was in tears.

Tell us about your game!
"Egg?" is a weird little 2D platformer / side scroller that takes you on an unexpected, transformative adventure. You jump around, collect your fellow eggs, avoid getting cracked, or getting eaten by Shadowsnakes as you delve deeper into the source of the darkness that is slowly enveloping the world.
Extra Notes
I am a technologically challenged old man. With 0 experience or knowledge about game development. I avoid things that I cannot instinctively grasp. This whole project was my declaration of war against my nature to run away from things I do not understand. From things that I am not good at. After countless hours of wrestling with the simplest of tasks for a real game developer, and failing to follow even the simplest tutorials, I remain NOT GOOD AT game development. But you know what? I went against my nature and finished what I set out to do. And for this opportunity, I am thankful to all of you who are participating in this, all of you who are out there making and playing these games. To anyone reading this. Thank you. Keep being awesome.

Smooth frames per second! I liked how you arranged the egg paths. it was satisfying to double jump through a few lines of eggs. really good job! keep making games!
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing ending! It's going to stick with me for a long time. Good job!
That means a lot to me, thank you for playing! <3
I didn't knew I needed to play a game about a happy egg, full of compliments and dad jokes, enjoying a funky music until I played this game.
(The end transformation is kinda creepy tho)
Sometimes all we need is a nice egg in these trying times! I sure hope the ending didn't give you shell shock! Thank you for playing :D
Fun double jump + coyote time, weird as heck, and a clever interpretation of alchemy as transformation into goldeness.
Aw thank you for giving the new update another shot! You are eggcelent!
There comes a time in everyone's life. A time where time is time. Egg? is one of those times.
Like my chums, I too have been gnomed! Thank you for playing! :D
Sometimes, all you need to fill a game with joy is a little smiling egg bouncing around gathering its own kind. A funky, banger of a song also helps, of course. Loved my time here!
Thank you for playing! And for the eggcelent comment <3
Enjoyed the game! I liked the comments that you see along the way to keep you motivated. It wasn't eggsactly what I would eggspect with regards to the theme, but I enjoyed playing through it.
I love the way you eggs-press yourself! Thank you for playing!
What a delightful game! Fun to play, uplifting and a truly unexpected ending, eggcellent!
Thank you for playing! Glad you liked the ending!
You've laid an egg-squisite master piece with this game.
ending is scary as hell., and metaphoric.
egg collecting was a crsip sound.
Thank you for the egg-celent review, glad you enjoyed crunching those eggs!
In the end, I was expecting a jump scare, haha. Anyway, I really enjoy collecting the eggs.
Congratulations, you have collected 3 eggs! Thank you for playing :D
Very nice! Had a lot soul, the game encourages you as you go, nice ending. When it started I thought I was hatching into a shadow-snake. Minor improvements might be made such as coyote time & jump buffering, but the concept and design itself made this a wonderful little game. Great ending!
Ohh the shadowsnake thing would've been a nice twist, what a clever idea! Coyote time is already in but set to 0.1 seconds, maybe I should've made it longer. But thank you for playing!
Thank you for bringing this "transformative" experience to the world! What an unexpected but clever take on alchemy at the end. Transformation plus the golden metaphor, you're a very creative dude.
The eggspert is in! Thank you so much for playing. I'm equally eggcited and relieved you enjoyed the goldlike thing, it means a lot to me <3
A cute little game! That walk animation looks a bit stupid - I love it :D
And all that praising... it felt like the game was playing with me.
Simple concept but well done for a learning project. I also took the challenge of this game jam to force me into realizing my idea and bring it to live. And it was my first publish, too. After all, it's not about creating something perfect but to learn and create something that works and is fun to spend some minutes in. And I think you did a great job with that. Keep it up, you can only get better :)
Thank you for playing and for sharing your lovely game with the world <3
Dude this ending scared me.
Also don't fret about your programming skills, your game is fine, jump is responsive, I didn't have any hitbox problem and you had several tilisets. The only thing you need to do is assemble it into a platformer when the player just don't do left direction and press space sometimes.
Also, wherz alchemy
Haha thank you for playing :D I went with the old fashioned definition of alchemy (transformation and becoming goldlike)
I spent the whole game HOPING the ending would be as amazing as the description claimed it to be.....
....and it delivered! 10/10
Relieved and eggcited that it didn't let you down :D Thank you for playing!
This game is eggcellent
sorry
Never be sorry for egg puns! You've got to eggspress yourself! And thank you for playing :D
I have no idea what I just played, but it was awesome!
Glad you had fun! Thank you for playing!
I love him. At least I did until …well, you know. Short, sweet, well made - love it.
Thank you for playing! I remade that whole...well, you know, thing. He may or may not be more disturbing now!
Hey, I just played your game a little. There is an issue that when you jump, you don’t know where you’ll fall and somethimes your character goes off screen. It makes it unfair not knowing where you’ll land. For example I made it all the way to “you are a rockstar” platform and when jumping off I had no idea where I was going. I don’t see the alchemy angle either, maybe add some storytelling to tie it in?
I'm sorry you had a bad time. The game is really designed for fullscreen. I will see if I can make the little browser player thingie scale it as if you were fullscreen. The whole alchemy thing makes more sense at the end of the game. But thank you for playing!
Edit: I've updated the base resolution, it should be less blinding now.
Game is straight forward. Unsure of the alchemy portion of the game and the sound of collecting the eggs hurts my ears on headphones. Possibly make the sound of collecting go off by the length instead of repeating every time u collect an egg.
I took on alchemy from a different angle than the traditional potions and wizards. This one is more about transformative change, and the payoff is mainly at the end. I will try to fix the sounds before I run out of time! And thank you for playing! :D
