How did you incorporate the theme and lore?
The interpretation of the theme is that you are a chicken and if you lay to many eggs without upgrading machinery then system won't be able to process it and therefore the system is broken. The interpretation of the lore is that someone dropped an egg into a farmer's hands and the egg hatched to become the player

Great art and visuals. Only issue I noticed was that I couldn't see the upgrade prices on the UI so wasn't sure when I'd be able to upgrade.

FREE PIZZAHey! Sorry I don't have time to do a full written out review, but I did play your game on stream which can be found here(Check the description for timestamps to all the games if you want to just see yours):

Hack3r - Incomplete VersionSuper cute art style, and the audio fit the aesthetic really well! The explaination of the upgrade system could have been better presented, though.

For their entertainmentNot at all, it can be really tough to express that sort of thing. You have an idea of how it all fits together in your head, then you not only have to make it physically work in the game, you have to present it in a way that other people can understand it!
That takes a lot of practice, and you're still pretty early on your game dev journey. Keep it up!
I liked the animation. I think the ui for the upgrades were missing the price as they worked sometimes and I could see it increased the egg count. I did like being able to hold the space down instead of clicking a lot since it gave my hand a break :P

Temple SlayerFirst of all, I love the art style!!!
But Idk what is the ultimate aim of the game??
if it was a clicker game, Definitely might was interesting and upgrades are kinda waste!

System AtomCute little chicken animations ^^
I think I didnt understand the game, I would lay eggs and they fell but there was some upgrades on the right and I couldnt tell what they were for.

Blast BashClicked for the cute chick! 🐥
overall interesting idea,
-
pressing and holding kinda felt boring, i was just waiting for the eggs to show up without having much control, I would have preferred to even click multiple times to escalate the egg laying process for example and be more engaged, and be able to purchase idle egg laying times
-
the upgrades were a bit enigmatic, wasn’t sure what they did or how much i had to pay for them so it was mostly a guessing game
-
love the pixel art & music!
Hopefully this feedback helps in a way, nice work! 🙌🦊

How To Break YouTubeSimply holding space was a bit too easy for me. I think it would make a lot of difference if it would be more like a clicker, so you felt you where actually doing something. I didn't see the cost of the upgrades so I didn't feel I made any progress there. Ultimately, not having an idea of where the end was or how far I was from it made me exit the game before I completed it. :(
But even if I had some issues with the mechanics, I liked the concept. And the pixelart is very cute! :D
