I don't know why I thought eating my own egg would protect it! I'm a terrible parent! Jokes aside, the addition of boosting to shorten your body really adds a new layer of strategy to this! I'm always tempted to boost myself to a reasonable size, but worried I won't be able to protect my eggs in time if I do.
I do wish the inputs were a tad more responsive though. I got used to it quickly enough, but I did feel like it took too long to register changing direction.
