The Egg Will Die by Patomkin

made by Patomkin for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

DESCRIPTION

Imagine the most generic, basic and well-overdone scenario: rusty but loyal robot on Mars is trying to save an Egg from the army of Spikes and Spinny-things! The usual, basically. But the question is: will you save the Egg?! Will you protect it from the danger, keep in intact and never-ever allow anything to crack it?!... well, technically, eggs need to be cracked at some point, so that the chick could come out, so... DELAY THE INEVITABLE!

HOW TO PLAY

Move cute robot around, and push defenseless Egg away from the danger! One hit, and it will crack! If you can make it survive for enough turns - you win! But don't stop there - try a bit longer and get the highest score!

CONTROLS

WASDA - To move and push the Egg

Q - Rewind back

The Game Jolt page doesn't link to the game. Would like to try the game though, looks pretty and seems interesting.

A short but unique game! At first it was a bit confusing, it would've been nice to have the controls screen visible later as well and maybe have slightly more of an explanation of how everything works. The UI in the main menu was also a bit small. Aside from that, the graphics and animations were really well made and looked good, and the mechanic is pretty original and fun! Good job :)

Made it to 57 on level 3! :smile:

I love the sprites and the games really clear visually, communicating everything it needs to quickly and cleanly. I had a blast playing the levels you guys made so my only complaint is that I wish there were more!

@MusicBlox, yeah, thanks for notifying! I was very tired by the end of the jam :sweat_smile: The game is available now, though! Have a look! :)

@juulh Sadly, the UI was more of an afterthought than a well-polished thing. Added it in the last hour of development. Glad you liked the game!
