Egg Chicken is a multi-level parody of the question "What came first? The chicken or the egg?" The concept is really fun, even if the delivery is a bit scrambled.

Detailed Review

=========================

[ + + - - - ] :: ENJOYMENT

The game was cute in a sort of disturbing way; which I enjoyed. I was confused about how to play at first, then when I figured it out I was a bit disappointed. It didn't seem like there was a lot of room for me to progress. I only have one mouse to drag a chicken with, even if I have zillions of chickens on the screen. Perhaps the game could have been scored by the amount of chickens rather than the amount of eggs.

Fun idea! A great thought experiment for the "Chicken and the egg" question. What came first? Well the eggs, obviously!

The game suffered from a lack of clear UI prompts that made it hard to understand what I needed to do to progress. I did like how you demonstrated the core mechanic on the menu screen though. I think I would have been more confused otherwise.

Thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback. I'm glad you liked the idea, yes there are quite a few improvements I would've liked to make if I had more time. The game is scored by how many seconds you buy (minus points from cracking eggs), although how to play the game isn't as clear as I would've liked. Glad you liked the menu screen :)

(I deleted your other comment as I think you accidentally duplicated this one)

Oh yeah, thanks for that. I've done that by accident a couple of times.

I came back to confirm my review for you. I've decided to leave it as-is. I'm giving you a follow though, so I look forward to what you'll do after the jam :)

Thank you :)
