Use WASD to move, 'e' to pick up items, 'q' to drop items, press 'p' to pause the game or return to the menu, and press the spacebar to jump.
Sometimes you get stuck on moving platforms which can cause a soft lock. I'm too tired to fix it right now.
- eggs despawning if they are picked up and you get hit at the same time.
- the player sometimes gets stuck on moving platforms (had to move some functions from Update() to FixedUpdate() )
- sounds act weird when game is paused (apparently removing an audio listener does not remove all audio)
- the 'fastest' option on desktop versions doesn't work and needs to be removed (FixedUpdate fixes this as well but I removed this option anyways)
- some trampolines don't get you where you need to go when you lose too much speed (made trampoline jump speed independent from walk speed)
(note that the unity project on itch does not have these fixes)

Description and controls
Easter Shabobble is a short little game about collecting easter eggs. Download the desktop version for better graphics and overall better performance.Use WASD to move, 'e' to pick up items, 'q' to drop items, press 'p' to pause the game or return to the menu, and press the spacebar to jump.
Sometimes you get stuck on moving platforms which can cause a soft lock. I'm too tired to fix it right now.

Inspiration and theme
I chose to express the theme "space is running out" by giving the player a shrinking inventory and also limit the amount of times the player can press the spacebar. The Easter theme was an impulsive choice.:rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit:
Challenges and experience
This Ludum Dare went fairly well, especially compared to my struggle during LD41. I lost a solid four hours due to a rather slow process of making a backup of all locally saved files. I also started a bit late due to living in Europe. However, for the first time in a while, I really like my LD submission.:rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit::rabbit:
Known glitches and bugs
