I have played it, I can say the egg exists. I have no screen shot to prove it ...

It's an interesting little game. I did spend a good time playing it, but there are a few things that could be addressed.

Movement is fast, but it feels floaty and uneven at times, you feel like you move slower near the portal, and the static background makes the movement jarring and you loose all the sense of movement and place. Many times I was never sure how far from the mortal I had moved.

I also feel the camera movement with the aiming should be in the opposite direction so that you can see more in the direction you are aiming. For instance if you are moving left and aim left you just stick to the edge of the screen and you can't see anything. if you are moving towards the portal, not even the arrow that points back to is visible. Up and down is even worse as you have less screen space.
The upgrade system is nice, but there is not much feedback on how far you have taken each upgrade. The only exception is movement speed, it would be nice to have a similar indication for regen and the other upgrades.Sure you can see their effect, and as there is no cap that I could find that is OK I guess, but if I'm aiming for a specific build I have no idea how close I am to it.

It also did not feel great that all enemies drop the same amount. Sure at late game they are all one shoted, but early on it feels strange that harder enemies give the same reward as easy ones. The difficulty could also be made to scale with the progression. enemies could also scale, or even just give damage over time upon contact instead of just on first contact. That would make the game interesting for longer.

There are also things you can expand upon, maybe some multishot or scatter, or different attack patterns. So I will look forward to any updates and goals you add to the game.

Still don't be discouraged by my words. The game ran smoothly even with a ton of enemies on screen, it had tones of fun moments and personality and it shows that you are on your way to do great games. So keep at it, you are on the right track.

Really liked it. full of charm and some delta rune vibes. Loved the magic system. Some of the parts to get the key where frustrating because the path detection felt inconsistent, and the second room did nothing even if the first said only half key, but I guess I had the full key at some point.
the keys used could be more in line with the UI to feel more natural, but once I had memorized the keys to the elements the combat became really snappy.

Great work overall

Thank you for your kind words! We will work hard to make the full release even better.

Thank you! We are taking feed back from the community and preparing tor a final release.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked our game.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are really glad you enjoyed it. And yes we are considering continue a bit more development based off the feed back we are getting.

Thank you very much for you feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed our game even not being your kind of genre, and leaving us your kind words. We really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and the "hidden" references. We will definitely review how mechanics are introduced.

Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate our effort!

Thank you very much! I am glad you liked it.

I liked that the muti-wire thing was a "oh snap!" kind of moment made it feel like suddenly the game opened up to new possibilities after being able to solve all other with simple wiring. give the feeling of now things get interesting, and makes me want to see them

This is really good. Good Baba is You vibes. Took me a while to figure that you wire multiple things in one go. But when I did (with the cultist) it really made me want to see more levels.
It also wasn't clear in the beginning that not all inputs can go on any activity. And yes by the end I figured out you can circumvent it, but it felt a bit random why, specially in the beginning.
Still an amazing little game. Definitely made me want to play more. And if this is your first game, I look forward to what you can do in the future.

Cool, I'm glad you are enjoying it. And you actually found ending t; it's not hard just not hinted at.
I have confidence you can get the others, even if there may be some luck involved (that can be dealt with too). Good luck.

Yes I should have explained better that part of the controls. The knife tilts opposite of the motion, and even more if it is spreading something on the bread. if you move vertically it increases or decreases the rate of tilt, so if you move diagonally back and forth, you can rotate it, one diagonal clockwise the other counter clockwise. Hope you have fun with the game.

Thank you!

I wish this was my submission. Great work

If you are saying up to the submission deadline, yes you are free to update.
If it is after the deadline, then no luck it will be locked. They will be locked for judging.
If you mean in a broader sense of working on the project after the Jam. Yes you can do it, not sure if still in the same itch project (or if it will be possible at all, or how long it will be locked), but you will probably be encouraged to further work and improve your game if you want in a broader sense.
