Neat platformer! I included it in my GameDevNetwork: Gooseberry Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

It was quite fun when you win the other player, but there is still lots of polish required to make the rest of the game fun.
First off, I think that the explosions need some work and the eggs should be more noticeable, because it took me a while to notice what kept killing me when I was trying out the controls. I can't remember what I did wrong, but at first I actually thought that shift was for a ghost mode (and I also thought it was called LAYAN. Yeah, I felt really stupid when I learnt that the "O" in LAY AN "O" meant egg and wasn't some kind of an emoticon :D ).
Secondly, the collisions need more work, because it was REALLY frustrating to get stuck (especially inside the spinning cross). The sliding of the characters is also frustrating because it makes it difficult to do movements that require precision (and precision is needed in many places because of the unforgiving collisions).
Also, the functions of the colored buttons are not always clear, and sometimes it takes too much time to figure out what each button does and if they are important (and in this game time is of the essence).
However, it's not all that bad. The concept is fine and the art and animations are quite charming. I also liked how the respawning mechanism was done, and the (creatively implemented) eggs could become a source of lots of fun after a bit more polish.

StreetrunnerThank you very much for having taken your time to play and write comments! In fact, at first we have intended to make this game harder than it looks. However after so many comments that describe the motion in the game as frustrating and annoying, it seems really needed to polish it. The first stage had been designed to let players get more familiar with the actions, while the third stage is forcing players to know that eggs are able to throw. We are also thinking of ways to make the buttons more clear and balance the time and traps.
Very cute graphics and animations are cool, couldn't get through the water though? Platforming needs a little bit of work as you get stuck on ledges.

How To Fly Like A DragonGreat artwork, very charming. I really like how death/dying is handled too!

"A Dungeon"Cute artwork! Creative use of laying eggs as a mechanic. It took me a while to figure out that I had to blow up those blocks on the first level, rather than try to jump over them.
