Nice game! Catching the egg with your helmet is really fun. It would be nice if you didn't have to be so precise in throwing the egg. I would maybe separate the tutorial into a few levels, so you don't have to learn many things at once.

Love the music and art style. Agree with what others have mentioned about difficulty and input confusion. I spent a while thinking that if I held left-click that'd increase the power of the throw. Also tried jumping then throwing in mid-air, which worked sometimes but I don't think was intended.
This is indeed a clever idea. I think the mechanic could be explored much more, I hope you'll work on other levels after the jam :)
Awesome job!
The visuals were pretty cool with the limited colors available and it was just really fun to play too.
Really nice game ! I also couldn't get passed the second level at first, did not know the "cursor further = throw harder" mechanic either ! Perhaps an arrow going from the character to the cursor or even a progress bar at the bottom of the screen could make it clearer but it might not go well with the general tone and aesthetic of the game (which are both really creative !)
Made it! it was pretty fun to play around with the throwing mechanics, music was great too.
The tutorial took me a moment to figure out, especially figuring out how to throw the egg, but it was pretty satisfying once I pulled it off.
The last level was interesting being a little more complex, it had a bit more of a puzzle element to it.
