this was a fun lil take on the limitation, loved playing as eggward haha... no really the player character was so cute and funny. Would have loved to have some sounds, and a minor critique, the mixed resolution assets (but i kno its a jam)

The writting was funny and totally had that 3am energy vibe.

Nice simple game, you should either make the platforms bigger or zoom out the camera because I couldn't see where I was falling so I had to guess.  also very handsome thumbnail

Developer(+1)

Absolutely. I had this idea of an abstract minimap that'd make it so you could kinda plan ahead without knowing exactly where you were. But in the end, that fell to the wayside to making an actual 2D movement system work-ish! And thank you! I just googled "Eggsward" and was "eggs-re-ward-ed" with that masterpiece. Wish I could've done it justice in-game too!

Developer

A simple but well-executed game. It's a little difficult to move Eggward around, and the controls aren't great, but the levels and story are fun! Congratulations!

Developer(+1)

Appreciate the feedback! Plenty to improve on for next jam! I'll also prep some basic scripts in advance that I'll just be able to re-use moving forward :)

Cool concept and great use of limitation tho the game needs to be more polished and art needs improvement, otherwise its a great game!

Developer

Oh absolutely! First attempt ever at pixel art, and I already see so many ways I could improve. Just got me excited, tbh!

Horrifying thumbnail, but otherwise good game, maybe have the camera viewport a little bigger, I'm making a lot of blind jumps.

Developer

Good advice! I hadn't done much playtesting, that's for sure!
