Simplistic style and great platforming level, but the live system makes it very frustrating to play especially after learning the mechanics just to fail once and reset the whole game.

Overall a challenging but fun and original game!

Submitted

Nice graphics, the chicken was very funny.

Submitted

Art and music are good but controls sometimes cause me to die. I finished the game in second try. I died 18 times total but i had fun :)

Submitted

Grounds too slippery and you shouldn't have to start over, but I like the idea of a chicken carrying it's egg down the mountain

This is very fun, the platforming felt really good, felt very polished! The level design is also good, keep things challenging. The art style is also really cute, mixed in well with the sounds. Overall great work! :)

Easily the BEST platformer I have come across! Intuitive controls and fun gameplay! You hit a home run with this one!

Submitted

Simple and fun! The ground is a little slippery and restarting from the beginning is a little underwhelming, but nothing that a couple of tries cannot solve.

Submitted

Nice little game, which implements the theme of the jam very well.

Unfotunately, it was just a little frustrating that you have to start all over again when you run out of eggs. Especially because the chicken tends to slide on the floor. Makes sense for a snow level, but doesn't make the platformer aspect of the game easier.

Despite that, i think this is a very well made game. Good job.

Nice Pixel art. Good concept. Maybe give the egg more character.

BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.

It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

Quite game ; I like this chicken and egg design;but I running out of lives in 3rd level;that makes me sad

Just speedran the game:

Lives and ice physics do not go well together. Having to restart from the beginning was brutal. Aside from that I really enjoyed it, but when I game over and restart from the beginning I just have no motivation to keep going.

Submitted

I'm not a huge fan of the lives system, it feels unfairly punishing. I do like your concept though, and it is fun. It is also fairly realized for 48 hours. Good job!

Submitted

Cute little platformer.
It had it's fair share of twists and turns to challenge the player.
I don't like the lives system, but for a jam game this is a fantastic entry!

Submitted

This game is great! Though I believe the lives system wasn't really needed since it just erases all your progress if you fail enough times.

Submitted

This is one of my favorites game. Solid platformer with a good mechanic and good levels. I think this has been said before, but my complaints are the lives, and the controls were a tad too slippery for my taste.

Submitted (1 edit)

Very nice execution, definitely has a Celeste vibe to it. The mechanic is simple but works well.

The chicken was a little too slippery for my taste and as the others mentioned I don't think having lives does good for the game.

Nice job!

Submitted

I love the idea and execution. Very nice graphics too. The music was kinda annoying, something less repetitive would be better. It was fun and interesting up until you lose all your lives, and have to restart everything. Overall, pretty great game though.

Submitted

Amazing little game, lovely to play! I was able to reach level 7 but lost multiple times in the last 2 jumps. Had a great time with it, congratulations!

Submitted

As others mentioned, a tricky game with the lives system. Lovely art and use of theme, and a lot of it was fun to play. Good stuff.
