Being able to move the lamp was unintuitive to me, I didn't figure it out on my own. It also seems that for me the music turns off as soon as I start the game. Pressing radio buttons does not turn music on for me - is that how it should be?
Hey Phindie, thanks for playing! There are two buttons on top of the radio to switch channel but first you need to turn the radio on which is done by the button the surface facing the player, does that help?
I've been thinking about how we might make it more obvious that the lamp can be moved, I've been thinking of letting it initialize in a more obviously draggable position, let's say to the left of the egg and much more closely... But deadline is deadline 🤷♂️ what do you think?
I had completely missed the on/off button on the radio. Maybe having the lamp start in a different position is enough. But my worry would be that because of the more intuitive on/off buttons, the player might stop to explore the lamp further anyway.
It was very fun. I managed to hatch all 3 eggs.
Haha, there's actually 8 eggs! Well done 😍
I didn’t manage to progress past the first egg - the egg seems to all the time roll away from his bed/nest. Is there some trick to preventing the roll off?
Oh no! You'll have to do a few different things:
It will roll off when two things don't met its standards, but there's only a 30% chance it does... Though I do admit sometimes it seems to happen a lot in a row which is annoying.
The first egg needs the lamp to be the furthest away, the nest base, no music and humidity around ~50% to hatch.... When it's almost done, it will hint that it's too hot which means you'll need to turn off the lamp. It should hatch within a minute with these tips :)
Alright! WIll have to test again.
Dang these eggs are needy! haha. Clever use of the theme.
Thanks for playing :)
Do you want the radio on or off? 'cause I'm not coming back in here again!
Haha, you sound frustrated by one egg or another. Could you hatch the eggs? What do you think could be improved about the game?
I was able to hatch the first egg. Some sort of progress indicator might be nice, then you'd feel like you were getting something done. As it it is now you just have to keep going and hope it's progressing.
15' of tending to the egg and still coudnt get it to hatch ;(
Oh no! You'll have to do a few different things:

Ah ok thanks, i didnt do the first two, I thought you needed to turn them on/off instead.
Eggcelent submission.
Thanks for playing :) we'll play your game soon!
Oh man, this game is amazing. At first I didn’t understand what I needed to do and the blue color for the needs-light-icon threw me off a bit because I associated it with the spray.
When I saw that first egg pulse I had probably the biggest ahah moment I’ve had in a long while. I found it pretty funny hatching the “lil willow”. Unfortunately my browser tab crashed when I got to the, ironically metal, unicorn egg :D.
Really inspiring work!
Thank you for the kind words! I'm very glad that you were able to figure it out, that 'aha' moment figuring out the entire controls and moving parts in the room is something we really wanted with this
I guess the frostflake isn't too obvious in the game, and other notifications could be more straightforward as well... Were you able to figure out quickly that you could move the lamp?
What to say more than: This is a very cozy and cute game
Thanks Jonas :)
Haha I love this so much, I am pretty terrible at keeping the eggs happy! It's a fun idea and I think it's been executed really well
Hey Bella, thanks so much for playing and for the kind words :) were you able to hatch some eggs?
This game brought me so much joy TT^TT It's so damn cute <3 And I loved all the comedic elements as well. That egg on the beach poster is my favorite. And thanks hun, for the inclusion of a *spoiler animal* for me ;* I can definitely see myself losing hours of my life playing this game on my phone lmao.
Was the unicorn for you? Or the moose?? 🤣
The unicorn, you should see my collection! Lol Jerico's the Canadian one, eh? 🤣
