The sounds, the music, the controls, the idea, everything is great, I'll keep on collecting eggs)
It's so simple yet so fun. The art is perfect, the audio could get some work but it still really good. Feels so polished for a jam ! Good job

It's so simple but also clever too! In that you not only have to dodge the big chickens, but also your target moves too, so you're alwaysa moving either yourself or your reticule! Really well done! <3
**Little did I know this would be the most intense game I've played so far.**
It felt like utter chaos, my first run ended on 13 eggs, my second run almost twice as much at 25, and I was sweating bullets by the end of it. Best game, best eggsperience, I'm having chicken tonight. It's personal.
Fun gameplay! Well tuned. Super responsive and nice to play. Good call to make the hitboxes for getting hit and throwing the eggs pretty lenient. Cool risk-reward with the chickens leaving eggs but also being obstacles.
Everything just feels right with this entry. Super solid. Great job!
Put me on the leaderboard! :)

What was your idea in the first place?
I would have enjoyed playing more levels with different forms of enclosures.
What if you utilized the egg throwing/smashing mechanic and made the eggs you throw and miss an obstacle? Or what if the chickens can also destroy the eggs that are on the ground, which would make it more intense and force you to try to get the eggs much faster rather than the only priority being dodging the chickens. Really there are a lot of stuff you can do to make the gameplay a little more nuanced, which I think would serve it well.
This was a great game and I loved the Link Between Worlds gameplay, but with extra steps!

Great job!
It gets so intense near the end.

Such a simple concept, but so well executed with a lot of great details! I love the expressions and the way the eggs crack. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
I want to try it again on my main pc, as the gif you posted looks so smooth. I think my laptop was running it slightly slow, which for me, was causing the player rotation and turning radius overall to be a tad wide and slow. Which made it really difficult to dodge chickens. :laughing:
