- A fun speed running platformer with EGG-cellent vibes. Honestly really enjoyed the mechanic of flinging the egg and doubling up on jumps to get higher. At times i would have instanced where the left click would feel a little sluggish. Slamming into enemies while trying to perfect my run was great and the slow down mechanic is super helpful in trying to navigate the level. The animations of the different faces on the egg where also great. The GDD was laid out very well, with plenty of graphics and documentation for each mechanic and loop with plenty of room for future development.

Summarise your game!
Deliver breakfast as a Bouncy Egg in this challenging physics platformer where your bouncy yolk-fueled shell is the only weapon you need!
Collect the required breakfast items by defeating the corresponding creatures (Dinosaurs for sausages, Potato Moths for potatoes, Mushrooms for, well, mushrooms). Deliver the breakfast to the table at the end of the level to feed the women and children of Eggrimeer!
Each level is timed (reset when restarting) and at the end of the game, your total level completion time is shown. Share your times in the comments below!
Controls:
- Left Mouse Button: Charge jump, release to launch towards the mouse.
- Space (hold): Yolk-time (slow motion). Allows for faster jump charge and finer control at high speed.
- R: Restart level
- Escape: Pause
Tips:
- Yolk-time (hold space) is particularly useful. Switch in and out regularly to gain greater control over movement, line up shots on enemies and set up chain bounces. It recharges over time and by picking up double-yolk eggs.
- When moving fast enough to defeat enemies, your egg's trail will glow red and your egg will have a happy face.
- Try to hit enemies from above to bounce off them in an advantageous way.
- For speed-runners, use yolk-time as little as possible as it slows you but not the level timer!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Thematically, you must collect breakfast ingredients and serve them, along with your delicious eggy self, for breakfast. You are the weapon against hunger.
Mechanically, you defeat enemies by hitting them with your body while moving at a high enough speed. This is the only way to defeat them, making you the physical weapon as well.

This is a cute take on the mechanic. I really like the egg's expressions, especially the sunglasses-on animation for yolk time. I am a bit disappointed that the dinosaurs weren't on the breakfast menu.
Thanks for playing! Fear not though, the dinos drop you dino bacon (we should have made that clearer!).
Very fun. Maybe it's get too hard too soon (or i'm just that bad lol). It would be nice if there was egg sound effects when bouncing and stuff. And that 2 minute long intro was unnecessary.
We did realise we made quite a hard game, but we also liked that as part of its charm :) Thanks for playing and the feedback!
I took waaay to long! 😅
But it was really fun! :-) I like the art style and the catchy music fits the gameplay really well, great job!
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
THAT WAS GREAT we played through the whole thing and hyped up the little egg man as he was flying around
Thank you for playing :)
