Cute little platformer.
It had it's fair share of twists and turns to challenge the player.
I don't like the lives system, but for a jam game this is a fantastic entry!

Submitted

This game is great! Though I believe the lives system wasn't really needed since it just erases all your progress if you fail enough times.

This is one of my favorites game. Solid platformer with a good mechanic and good levels. I think this has been said before, but my complaints are the lives, and the controls were a tad too slippery for my taste.

Very nice execution, definitely has a Celeste vibe to it. The mechanic is simple but works well.

The chicken was a little too slippery for my taste and as the others mentioned I don't think having lives does good for the game.

Nice job!

Submitted

I love the idea and execution. Very nice graphics too. The music was kinda annoying, something less repetitive would be better. It was fun and interesting up until you lose all your lives, and have to restart everything. Overall, pretty great game though.

Amazing little game, lovely to play! I was able to reach level 7 but lost multiple times in the last 2 jumps. Had a great time with it, congratulations!

Submitted

As others mentioned, a tricky game with the lives system. Lovely art and use of theme, and a lot of it was fun to play. Good stuff.

Submitted

It was sort of fun, but the lives system was evil especially since there was a lot of momentum to your chicken which made platforming a gamble.

Love pico-8 games.

Fun game, we made a similar concept so it's cool to see how you take it.

The jump in level 7 was super tight, which is fine for me but you might want to tweek it a bit..

Well done!

Cool idea!  Went really with the theme.  Nice job!

Cool idea, truly hitting the theme of this jam.  I like it a lot.  Soundtrack is a bit too harsh and glitching for my ears.  Apart from that: excellent submission.

Technical glitch: my firefox keeps opening the search dialog when I press Z to throw the egg, even in fullscreen.

Oh yeah, I've been running into this with some games as well since Firefox updated last week. This fixed it for me, hope it helps: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1042093

Really nice small platformer. I especially love the idea of you needing to throw the egg to be able to move and jump at your normal speed well done :D.

Very good game but a distinct lack of chicken head physics

Submitted(+1)

The game is really fun, but I feel like the chicken is a bit slippery without the egg. Still one of my favourite games from the jam games tho.

Love love love the art and the platforming is challenging. An interesting take on the theme as well, chicken and egg. Very nice.

Submitted(+1)

It's really fun and cute!

the lives system was brutal, and i didn't really get to experiment with levels since i had a fear of restarting. however the game was solid and levels were pretty well designed. nice work!

Totally reminds me of CELESTE Classic. Very nice! I like the creative use of the egg!

Submitted(+1)

Really really cute art, but tough! Definitely could imagine this as an original SNES game haha.

It is verrrrry celeste like in difficulty but it’s fun! The idea of being joined together by a biological connection.
