It's bizarre yet very amusing at the same time. My only complaint is that the drag and drop feature is a little unintuitive. The game would feel much more addictive if you could collect chickens by simply clicking. Despite this, I still like it a lot.

Really sweet idea! I feel like the game would have been improved by clearer UI buttons, and maybe a tutorial as well — but I get what you were going for, and I think this could be a really fun game for someone with better aim than me hahaha — great work! :)

Spring's BalletVery good. Nice to have the choice to buy time or more eggs for more chickens. Feels like it needs just one more system for when you end up with too many eggs and can keep buying time.

Shark BaitInteresting idea, but I can't see how it affects the gameplay much. It'd still be the same game with the roles as they normally are, wouldn't it?
Love the squat when an egg lays a chicken!

ReverseggleThanks for playing! I understand what you mean, as there isn't a particular game mechanic that comes from the theme, I just thought it was a funny idea :) Although this way around it makes sense that you could accidentally crack eggs, and that the items being laid on the ground (in this case the chickens), are able to run away. Glad you like the squatting eggs :)
Egg hatching chicken. I... didn't see this coming xD
The game is pretty simple to understand and it's easy to get in the game loop. Was a bit surprised when I accidentally cracked an egg.... and then proceeded to do it again by accident xDDD
Great job man! 😁

Poly Dash (GMTK 2023)Great interpretation of the theme. Also loved the audio-visual elements.

Plenty of FishI 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

BarioWare: SwapThank 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 😅)

Froggy: The RevengeIt is official, the egg came first. Jokes aside this is pretty good game.

The Reclamation (GMTK)I have no idea why this is so addictive, but it is! Great concept and art!
