I love how strange the eggs look! I also felt extremely bad when I cracked an egg on accident, having the chickens be able to leave the screen is a good way to keep the player engaged, my poor golden chicken got away right when I needed them the most. I think It would be good if you could transfer chickens you've already placed on one side to the other side to allow for last minute saves etc. Really nice job on this though

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.

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.

Sandwich Makes ChefThank 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)
Nice gameplay idea :) I had a bit of a hard time figuring how to play, but once i got going, nothing could stop me! (High score: 30 😅)
