LagBird by leparlon
You are lagbird, the more eggs you have on your nest, more laggy will be your controls.
In this game, the bad villain PACKETLOSS made your eggs land on a diferent location, so you have to grab them all. You have 10 seconds to grab each egg before the TIMEOUT.
Remember, eggs will add lag, so choose the eggs you grab wiselly.
I think this is my first ludumdare game that has sound and animations, I had time since I used C2, almost no time spent on programming (was a little less fun, but I enjoyed drawing the animations).

The concept of the lag greatly increases the challenge and makes the infinite lives all but necessary.
As I played I started to think it's probably a good strategy to get the distant eggs first since the last egg you get will be under the most lag. But it's so tempting to get the nearest ones first.
I love the graphics and subtle sound effects. The really fast retry cycle is great, and that you don't have to walk back out to the eggs if you die on the way back.
I like the way you mind worked, please upgrade your internet connection now!
