Lots of fun concepts here; I'm glad the ystory formula is being expanded on (it deserves it).

Interested to see where this goes! Keep it up bro

Played a few levels randomly on controller
Pamao is cute and the tongue hopping is fun and makes the game speedy. I was constantly using the tongue, almost rarely use eggs in comparison, maybe if spitting eggs midair gave you some recoil momentum that would be neat. On one of the vertical levels I just let the flying enemies carry me to the top lol, that was neat


Going through platforms is a little jerky. And would be nice to interact with level select/dialogue prompts with controller, I think you have to click on stuff to select them.

always like seeing your posts in the thread though, great job

Thats a really interesting idea about egg momentum. I tried scaling the movement to have a really tightly held maximum speed, but I could see the egg tossing as being a consumable way to exceed it temporarily. The jerky platform clipping is a consequence of trying to keep the minimum skill required to play low, I could make the platforms reject you unless you land on top of them, as in: you have to go around, and not from beneath. I imagined the controls to be like Smash Brothers on the switch, with directional input dominating the play, and smash has platforms you can pass through from below.  Now that you point it out though, it would be an easy fix, if I pop the passable floors into the roofs array as well they will be impassable. 

Thank you so much for playing, and for the feed back!

(Please play with a controller if you can, its just better)  

The controls are:
Keyboard:
WASD to move (W to jump, S to drop through platforms).
IJKL to direct tongue and eggs.
M to fire eggs.
N to ground-pound.
Space to lick.
E to talk to NPCs.
P to pause (opens level select).

Controller:
Left stick to move and jump and drop through platforms.
Right stick to direct tongue and eggs.
Right stick will lick by default, to throw eggs hold right-trigger and use the right stick.
X (or equivalent) to ground-pound.
Right trigger to talk to NPCs.
Start to pause (opens level select).
