Amazing graphics and the gameplay was straightforward and enjoyable. The game ran smoothly too, I do wish that the fence was a bit bigger so there was more room to move around when the basket gets clipped inside the chicken. The sound effects are cute and the throwing mechanic was a cherry on top of this great game!

Simple, but very polished and well executed. I love how the box animates and moves. Even the eggs cracking open and spilling out are really nice. Well done, congrats.

I loved this! Really clever and natural idea to have to avoid the chickens but grab their eggs. I think the visuals and audio were a real knockout too! Great job!

Super fun game ! Can we consider this game a bullet hell ?
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

One of those games that I really got stuck in, I collected 46 eggs in the end (I attached the proofs). The music is cool, the style of the game is just great, well done)![lG4AF7nUdDc.jpg](///raw/703/b3/z/5adff.jpg)

Wow, I love the way it looks. It's adorable. The gameplay felt tight and snappy. I didn't run into any issues. There could be a bit more variety than just chickens coming through, but I think you guys did an awesome job!

This is really, REALLY good! (I also like that even when you do badly, you still get to press "yay" to continue!)
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

Gorgeous graphics! Prettiest game I've played so far. Nice satisfying movement and gamefeel. Felt it could get harder quicker (and I was mostly walking into the delivery box, didn't find much reason to shoot). Nice foundation for a bigger game with boss chickens!

Really fun, super cute, just the right amount of difficulty. Wish there was a way to refill health!

Yay indeed. I found this game after having had a pretty long streak of moody and atmospheric games, so I was like, wow, a sweet project with chill graphics and a funky soundtrack, I'm in!
**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.

That's a cute little game but very effective ! I like the art and the audio. Well done. I achieved to deliver 39 eggs before getting crushed by all these chicken !! Great job !!

Really nice, fully realized entry. Very polished, audio and visuals are on point. Love the chicken animation and the feather particle effect.

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! :)

Like the others already said: Well done! Awesome game!
What was your idea in the first place?
I would have enjoyed playing more levels with different forms of enclosures.

This was actually so good! I am super impressed by this. The audio, sfx, graphics, and gameplay all flow together so well. The controls also felt fantastic. Whatever you did there worked sooo well. I really don't have any criticisms for it at all, only suggestions.

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!

Wow, the 3d art is very polished, and the feathers coming out with the egg is eggcellent. I was able to get 33 eggs:

Very well-polished minigame. Animations are simple but they do enough to convey the actions. Great sound effects and snappy controls. Nice work!

One of my favorite games! The art and idea are simple yet great! Maybe adding some audio feedback for the egg being put into the box would be better. Well done!

This is amazing!! Love the look and style.

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:
