Ah, yeah, I just had to turn my volume way up, even so the laser noise and music are still quiet relative to the other sounds, definitely could be punchier.
And I did manage to grab the egg on a rerun, it was not easy. I kept trying to use the tongue-retract momentum to loop up and over, but it rarely worked the way I wanted. Instead I managed to get up from the right side checkpoint with a well spaced swing. I felt maybe I could've used the box to do better, but it got kicked somewhere I couldn't reach, and respawning doesn't reset it's position. Actually I wanted to double-back to get it on my first run, but was held back because the final obstacle can't be traversed backwards. But the fact I was motivated to come back later and try again is a testament to your game's quality.
