The story is so cute! (>⩊< )
Special congratulations on the animation! That doubling smear ₍₍⚞( ' v ')⚟⁾⁾ on the bird's legs during its running animation and the way the mouth snaps up every time he moves it really adds this panicked "Squawk! (0∆0)" feeling. Also of note is the nice overshoot during the baby dragon's sudden hatching ദ്ദി ˉ꒳ˉ ).
By the way, I read late that the hard mode was bugged, so when I spawned and lost on frame one I thought, "Well, they weren't kidding about it being hard" ˙𐃷˙)
Honestly, it's short, sweet, and it's all it needed to be :3 Congrats! :D
(P.S. The "Pick up egg" action seems to be only mapped to the right Shift key and not the more common left Shift key)
