Eggs with legs, and this game has them! Good visuals, fun music, and tight programming make this very fun. I'm an idiot and read "crack the eggs to progress", yet I avoided every obstacle for two minutes in the first level before realizing what I supposed to do. 

Thinking about it, you could play it that way alternatively if you wanted to see how long you would last without cracking overall. Anyway, was really fun, really cute, really compact, great stuff!

This was a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the different mechanics on each of the planets and the music is fantastic! The desert planet was my favorite! Great work!

Yes I really love the music! Our composer Jamesy did such a good job on that. :) 

Thank you for taking the time to play, rate and comment :)

Cool little game! I really like how each level has a unique mechanic and music track! Also love the cute little animations!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for taking the time to play, rate and comment :) It's only my second time making animations so thank you for liking them!!

I really really loved the game, nice music and cool concept, even though i think it would be funnier if the objective was to avoid the meteors and collect ufos, because if you dont touch meteors, they will accumulate on screen, making it progressively harder, but if you dont touch ufos, they just dissapear, i think that would give more importance to jumping.

Developer

Yes we could definitely make changes to make the game harder for sure!!

I loved that you added 5 different worlds, and each had it's own unique features! Great game!

I love it guys! The art really cute, the physics changes on every planet makes every level challenging and that MUSIC is FIRE! Especially the 5th planet one, getting Abba or 80s disco vibes there!

Great work, it was a joy to play!

Developer

Haha yes our composer did an absolutely STELLAR job of this right? also.. get it? stellar? I'll see myself out.

Thank you for taking the time to play, rate and comment :)

Great entry! Everything felt super polished and played as intended. I especially liked the cute beak popping out of the egg when it starts to crack!! I failed to properly read the tutorial and tried to prevent the egg from cracking by using the aliens for the first few minutes but then I got going :)

The dark level with limited-sight was a nice change of pace, too,

Developer

Hahaha - no you just found the second  super secret way to play the game ;) 

Thank you for your lovely comments, and for noticing our little guys beak poking out!

That was a fun experience! Outstanding how well you adapted the basic mechanic to the properties of each planet type. Nice, nice! Graphics and audio contemplate the mood of the game really well. It's a complete, polished and wholistic entry - well done! Btw, did you know that one of the first stories about traveling to the moon (The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall, E. A. Poe) was also about flying there with a baloon?

As for suggestions: More planet types... let's see... There are dwarf planets like Pluto and Makemake - so a version with little space might be thinkable. Gas giants like Neptun have extreme wind speeds and are fridgid cold - they could have a combination of ice + desert planet properties. Venus has extreme athmospheric pressure, which lets you move like being deep under water. Oh yeah, and water planets/moons of cause ... wow, there are so many possibilities and combinations out there. You guys know Melodysheep? - amazing videos on YouTube.

I'll stop here :-D Thanks for your entry and for hosting this fantastic Jam. It is always a unique, pleasant and enjoyable experience, thanks to you folks!

What a lovely well researched comment! I absolutely didn't know about the story, but now I'm super glad that I made the rocket balloon - Theo wasn't too sure on the idea but I did it anyway so you make me feel sooo happy that I did!

That's some great ideas for some more levels, and if we work on it we will definitely include some of your suggestions for being so kind as to take the time to suggest things!

Thank you for taking the time to play, rate and comment :)

Welcome! Joined an E. A. Poe Jam in the past and  found that story of Hans Pfaall - you take away so much new from every Jam :-)  That balloon came out of my pen back then: https://humane-tiger.itch.io/hans

What should I talk about game now everything is perfect!

Really cool game ! The visuals are lovely & the movements are smooth and easy to pick-up. 
The variety of environment with different conditions on each planet is a very cool idea. kuddos on that !

Tiny little nitpick : The aliens seems to be a threat only if you're jumping, and it looks like you can finish most levels without really jumping a lot. you coul fix that by having aliens spawn at ground level so the player is forced to jump to avoid them. Or by making you egg crack only if you throw yourself on an asteroid fast enought while jumping.

But apart from that, it's a really fun play & it made me wish there were more levels to play. Great job :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your lovely comments!

You're definitely right, we could make this harder for sure! It's always hard to judge if the game is easy or if you're just well practised with testing it so much


Thanks for playing :)

Dark level was the best!

Developer

I like that one too!

Submitted(+2)

Simple yet fun gameplay! I also love that each planet has it's own gimmick so even though it's just the same enemies, there's different difficulty for each planet.

I am so confused right now, there s aliens and you should get hit by astroeds i don t even know how to spell that + there is a perfect great music to add to the confusion and the cute handdraw art adds to the charm + a balloon in the moon and chickens living in planets and stuff, this game is just perfect i don t know what else to say "btw can i have a banana?".

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed our random and weird take on the game!! Chickens and aliens go hand in hand right??

like butter and jam

Warning: do not recommend hitting eggs with asteroids in real life. May produce undesirable results.

Seriously though, this is an awesome take on the theme with, quite frankly, ADORABLE artwork (is that a little beak sticking out at 60%?!?!). Very creative mechanics and the egg felt really nice to control. Awesome game and thank you for this wonderful jam!!

Developer

Haha, thank you so much! It is a beak poking out yes - I didn't think people would notice with it being relatively small!

Thank you for taking the time to play, rate and comment :)

In the end I prefer to destroy the asteroids and heal myself with the aliens at level 5 I almost reached 10 minutes

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play, rate and comment :) I love the different style of play there hahaha.

The concept is unusual, but insteresting. 

I really liked the smooth animation combined with the graphics. Looks beautiful. 

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play our game and comment! 

You're right - we like to go a little weird with the concepts :) Thanks for your kind words on my graphics!!
