Help Eggward to realize his fried destiny. "You Can't Make An Omelette" is a physics puzzler where plinko meets pinball. You may not always know where you're headed so some sacrificial eggs must be tossed to help lead the way. As the saying goes "You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs". ;)

:) ! Oh my goodness! This was very well done and polished. The music is absolutely perfect. After I beat like only two levels I linked it to some friends. It's so simple yet satisfying.

Love this. I would like to hang out with Eggward more please. Loved your tutorial, it managed to make me feel really dumb for just dropping an egg. A+.

Great game!
The artstyle is so slick. I think this game would fit very well on a phone.
It was so fun, I made all the omelettes!
New mechanics were introduces regularly to make it interesting.

A really fun and really wonderful game. Also, I know it's a small thing, but the feedback for pressing the button at the very start was really good.

Great game, the visuals are very clean and the mechanics are intuitive. Everything feels super satisfying, the sound effects are perfect. I broke quite a few eggs, but I managed to make all of the omelettes in the end.

Nice game, simple but efficient graphics, music is nice and the concept is fun. Just maybe too much level where you just have too let the eggs fall without anything to do and still win.

A nice take on the theme, I liked the art style and that the mechanics kept changing throughout the levels

I made all the omelettes. There were a lot of levels and different obstacles introduced, the difficulty didn't seem to progress and not initially knowing where the pan was lead to some trial and error. The music got a little redundant but I loved the sizzle when the egg made it in the pan. I think the layout of the screen could have been a little better maybe an initial wide zoom to see where the pan is. Still good job.
