A really cool entry, I like it ! First the visuals, I find them really cute and I love this duck and his egg, the UI too has a good style. I think however it could have been maybe better if the background wasn't squares, without roof too and so the sun would really be in the sky and the game would feel less "closed", but that may be only my personal preference ahah
As for the gameplay, it is interesting and is a good way to force the player to speedrun part of your levels. You could make longer levels, as most of them can be finished in ~5seconds and this idea would be even better in that ! However, last catch would be the tutorial where you should make the player spawn in shadows and without timer so we could have the time to read, as there is a lot. The platforming works well and I see the potential in a longer game like that, where you have to protect your egg for a long long journey, it could be very fun !
Also the music is good and goes well with the game.
Really nice game!! It took a while for me to understand the percentage mechanic, but overall it's a really cool concept for a platform game, good job on the submission!
Nice concept and I liked the art style. Plays well. I would say that I didn't quite get the heated egg thing at first as there's a lot of text explaining everything at the start (and some of it obscures the gameplay so maybe move it higher or over the landscape parts.
Would be nicer to spread out the tutorial so you learn one thing each stage, starting with the sun hitting the egg. A bit more feedback on the egg being heated would be good, even just flashing it. Some blue sky gradient backdrops to reinforce that it's the sun up there?
I found the platforming a bit slippy for my tastes, with a lot of sliding, it is nice and fast though so maybe just tone down the sliding a bit?
Yeah, biscuitlocker. For the tutorial section, I tried to make sure that the tutorial text doesn't cover much of the screen, and for the movement, I was actually going to fix the friction of Duckie's movement to a higher rate (like say, 5 or 6), but I forgot to in the second update, but that's still in my mind of fixing the game soon. Thanks so much for the feedback and critique!

Quite a funny concept, I love how smooth the egg heating mechanic is. That makes the level design more complex than it looks. Great job!

Cool Game, but that heating mechanic need to be better explained
