  • 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.
  • 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!
  • I couldn't stop laughing, doesn't fit the theme well but thank you. I was in tears.
  • Fun game, enjoyable egg jumping game, although struggle to see the alchemy part of the game! A very enjoyable vibe

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.

Eggcelent game (or is it a social experiment testing the human behaviour around hyperrealistic egg stories?).  Had a blast. Thank you for saying that im a rockstar, I wish my dad said that to me as well. Anyways... Egg.

WELL DONE BIG BOY!! Egg-celent entry. I enjoyed all the yolks! Absolutely horrific ending, just how I like it!

Developer

YOU'RE A ROCKSTAR! I'll be poaching your best yolks.Thank you for playing and making it to the end! 🌞

Very cute game. I played until the end and I must say I wasn't expecting the nightmare fuel that was the final cutscene. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for making it to the end! Glad you liked the cutscene! 🌞

Hoooly smokes, that was a fun trip! I didn't expect the environments to continue changing, it felt like a cute journey while jammin to some bass. And the ending with the smile unsettled me, but it's all good because I became an all devouring sun.

Thank you for this entry :D

First eternal darkness, and now this? What have you done?? 🌞 Thank you for playing and this lovely comment! :D

This was so much cheaper than therapy, thank you egg!
Made me chuckle, well worth a play-through. Great work 💚

This was a fun time! I liked the words of encouragement along the way. Also, nice funky tunes.

Developer

Thank you for your words of encouragement! 🌞 And thank you for playing!

Great collection sound, it made me really hungry. This is a cool game, very impressive if it's your first! Even if the mechanics are simple, what was there felt solid, and the motivational text really helped me keep going. And I hope you continue making games! btw, what's the final count on how many eggs there are total?

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you had fun! I went back and counted them for you, 275 regular eggs, 1 redacted egg, and then there's you, the player Egg? Thank you so much for playing! 🌞

I really liked this one! Something very nostalgic about a straightforward collection game. It could always be beefed up and challenge increased with trickier jumps (smaller platforms, "stretch" jumps where you barely have enough umph to make it, etc.) or paths where you have to double-back to find all of the collectables. 

I'm glad you made this game, thank you for sharing! 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I cut down the length and difficulty a lot. I figured a quick, in and out 5 minute adventure would be more appropriate for a game jam. Mainly because I was worried people would get bored before seeing the ending. I'm very new to all this :D But lessons learned! And thank you for playing! 🥚

This game was fun and rich with personality. I love that you called this game a "declaration of war" against the desire to stay in your comfort zone. Your efforts are admirable and resulted in an authentic and creative game that charmed many who played it (myself included).

Of the games I have seen so far, I would have to say that your game had the most intriguing use of pickup items and level design. It felt like I was being ushered through a deteriorating world by a humourous narrator. Keep up the great work. 

Developer

Thank you for the lovely words. I'm very grateful the wacky humor and the unhinged lore implications were appreciated :D 

Submitted(+1)

I love the change in character's expression when they are idle vs moving. I found this game very charming and I thought the ending was beautiful. Well done!

Developer(+1)

That is just what I was going for, thank you for playing and appreciating it :D

Submitted(+1)

Congratulations on finishing your project! The gameplay feels really satisfying and I also really like the deep interpretation of the themes.  The ending was done perfectly. Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad you liked it :D

For someone who claims to have zero experience, this is really well put together! and bug free! though not egg free. there's a lot of eggs.

That ending...I expected something like it, but not that.

Developer

That means a lot to me, thank you!

Developer

Like other already Said: nice Concept and double Jump feels very satisfying.

Developer

Fun little egg game! And that ending... oh my! Nice work!

Developer

Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!

Seriously though, this was a fun little romp. This game was so encouraging! It's good to have positive reinforcement while I play games. Your sense of humor is on-point. Keep being you! 



Me to, Egg, me too.

Developer

Hahaha thanks for EGGing me on  :D And for playing!
