This is really cool. I could 100% see this on mobile. Awesome job!

Pls put this on the play store. Seems like it would work really well on mobile

Really cool idea and I love how hectic it gets after a while. Sadly some music in the background is really missing. I must say tough that the sound effect of placing blocks is really satisfying.

I wish it was a little slower to start but it's lots of fun when you get in the groove and go for a while.

I like the mechanics! Nice job! Fits the theme too

Very good! Fun gameplay, engaging and challenging but fair. Sound was alright but could've been improved. Well done!

Really really fun game! nice and hard but simple to approach loved the ding sound that plays when you pass a flag :D

Developer

Thanks! :D

I genuinely enjoyed playing and forgot myself a bit, pls pls make levels I would love to play this game in levels mode, if anything would need a change that is the way we change between building blocks I took too much time figuring out what to do. it's more natural to change the block based on arrows and move to the next and loop back so if I am in bridge and pressed d twice it will be a ramp up block.

Thank you!
I agree, the keyboard controls can be efficient but not intuitive.

A levels mode would be awesome.

I feel like if I don't stop here I'll end up playing this for the whole day... 

Very cool game! I don't many games myself but this is such a fun idea! It took me a bit to figure out the control (I thought the bridges and blocks would automatically fill in when I press a key) but once I did it was so much fun. I like the graphics and theme as well! Great job!

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate that!

Well made game, tho it could use some more sound effects or music. The concept works great. You could add some quality of life improvements like selecting the tiles with numbers on keyboard or make it that you can change the tile you already placed. But these things are not game breaking so it still is a fun little game!

Developer

Thank you!

I'm considering the suggestions :)

Really cool idea! I ended up only using the mouse, which kept me scrambling. Did you manually build the levels, or is it procedurally generated?

Thank you!
Each chunk is handmade and the level is a random sequence of chunks following a difficulty progression.

I second XaiasSerenity, extremely addicting, but getting way to hard in short period of time. Maybe make clicking anywhere place blocks?

Developer

Yeah, the game pacing is too fast.
The first idea was to give the player a limited number of blocks to place anywhere. But without limited blocks and defined tiles to place the game feels fair. What I think would be nice is the possibilty to remove a block or instantly replace it.
Im glad you like the game.

The Gameplay is extremely addicting but I almost quit early cause the controls didn't feel intuitively correct to me, maybe number keys would of felt better to match the visual layout to the controls. but once i memorized the key binds the gameplay felt extremely good, this game has a lot of potential with more patterns and stuff.  good job! 

Developer

Thank you! I'll keep you updated of any dev progress.

Here's some feedback on your game:

1. The theme

The main mechanic and also the idea of protecting a little egg is great and really unique, i enjoyed it.

2. The gameplay

The gameplay is also really fun, because of it i added this game to my game jam games collection, but i would like to see the game with full keyboard controls. Plus, i don't know if the level is randomly generated, but there are way too many checkpoints and i have no idea what there are for, also, sometimes there is a little gap between blocks of land.

3. The graphics

The graphics look really good, but the text is really blurry.

4. The sounds

The sounds are great, maybe add some music.

I hope my feedback helped you, and it would be nice if you could check out my submission too! Thanks! :)

Developer(+1)

The level is a random sequence of handmade chunks in a difficulty progression. The first one is always the tutorial. The flag is the end of a chunk. The gap between the blocks is the transition of one tilemap instance to the next. I will change it in the future, using only one tilemap.

The blurry text and the lack of music is a consequence of bad time management.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ok. This is a good game.

Got me playing this game until beating the Top1 in the HighScore assigning mnemonics to the cubes and keys. A few suggestions for improving it: U can redistribute the blocks UI to the letters position, like this:

Also, u could try to redo the cover as it’s not pixel-perfect. The egg is too static to me. While I understand the fact that the egg is fragile, I need a reason for the egg sliding, but I’m probably too nitpicking with these kinds of things.

Apart of it, I think your game is reaching the top. Congratulations!

I really like your suggestions. They are in the backlog already.
The cover is not perfect so does my game ;)
The egg is in hard time, facing the abyss, and needs help. Everybody can be fragile like the egg sometimes.
I'll probably keep the game developing and improve it.
Thanks for your time to comment on my work!

Got me playing this game for like 10 minutes lol. Love how its made.

Developer

I'm glad you like it!

Interesting idea! It gets pretty challenging in a good way! I'm glad the speed slowly ramps up.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Cool game! Though I would like to add that you mixed up the controls for the W and S keys. The game is pretty straight forward and I like the concept. Plus the difficulty scales well.

Developer

Thank you!

Yeah, I did. It's OK now.

I'm glad that you liked it.

Doesn't seem to be working unfortunately

Developer

Hi, thank you for the report!

I've managed to fix the problem.

I also uploaded a Windows version.
