How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
We work in a factory that makes famous chocolate surprise eggs with a toy inside.

This factory produces both very famous official chocolate surprise eggs and also cheap copy counterfeits.

They are the same products, only the price changes.

Today's job is to separate the cheap chocolate eggs from the real chocolate eggs.

Fun little game, I really liked the visuals

Developer

Thank you !!

I love this game! It's very simple but also very involving. Art is just beautiful and the music is great. The only issue I've encountered is that sometimes, upon retrying the game, I immediately lose. Apart from that everything is cool. Good job!

Developer

Thank you very much for all these compliments!

I must admit that I have no idea why this is happening 🤔 I have seen that it has happened to other people, but I tried to reproduce this bug and was unable to fix it in time

Thanks again for playing!

Submitted

I got 61 on my first try. I love NES games style so this is definitly 5 stars for visuals only! Well done. (please rate my game)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the visuals!

Got up to 101. 

Very fun game, with a simple but rewarding mechanic. It has a great art style that pairs well with the music. And it also has good replay value. Great work!

Developer

GGG !

I tried to keep it as simple as possible. Thank you very much, I appreciate the feedback!

The boss wants quality products, but he can't even pay his own electricity bill .The lights are going out! 

Joking aside, great game loop. Also, I really liked the “fired” visual.

Hhahahaha, There's no such thing as a small saving for the boss
Thanks you very much, glad you liked it!

The music, especially at the beginning, didn't really blow me away. The graphics are mechanical, and the integration of the theme and special object is very nice. I would have added a scoring system that allows you to stay even if you lose, so that on your next attempt you have the goal of exceeding your limit.


This is my game instead if you want to try it: EggHeadz

Developer

It's true that it's a good idea to set yourself a goal!
Thank you very much for playing! Off course, I'll try your game

This is fantastic, absolutely love the art style as well.

Developer

Thank you very much
I'm glad to hear that!

Submitted

Really enjoyed this! The art style is lovely, and the one-button gameplay works perfectly. Managed to score 100 points

Developer

Thank you very much, I appreciate it! Congratulations on getting 100 points because it gets complicated quickly hahaha

Looks like you created the art yourself. Great use of both the theme and the special object.

Developer

Thank you so much !! I didn’t mention it, but yes, I made everything myself

Submitted(+2)

the art in this is so pleasing to look at! really like the gameplay it feels like a rhythm game, i like the "blackout" mechanic but i feel like if it was telegraphed (eg the lights flicker before) then it would feel less jarring, but the concept was really well done and it feels like a polished game!

Developer

Thank you so much! 

Haha it’s true, I wish I could’ve made them flicker a bit, or maybe added a little sound right before the blackout, but I couldn’t manage to do it.

 Thanks a lot for playing, I’m really glad you enjoyed it !!

it seemed very difficult at first, but once I locked in I was able to get up to 90, which I felt proud of. I enjoyed playing this! you nailed the arcade aesthetic and the music and visuals are both immaculate.

Developer(+1)
