An Australian game. You stumble across an egg on the ground in the bush. There are lots of critters around that would love to gobble up this egg! You should probably make sure this egg gets to where it's going safely.
This is our first game jam and our first game! We decided to participate last minute and are pretty happy with what we achieved with little experience and time :)

@fabrizio-spadaro Thanks so much for your feedback! We did have an extra long jump section but thought it a bit mean for the first game, so removed it. Also had ideas of player health but imagine playing level 5 with player health! plus unfortunately time limits. Good to know though!
I like the pixel art, character and eggs. The game is based on an simple effective gameplay mechanic. Only the character controls are a bit stiff. You made many levels! Congrat. That's nice for a gamejam :)
I really like the music and the mood it brings to the game (It reminds me, baby, of you...). The assets also look pretty. There were framing issues with the visuals though, and in the menu and the win screen, the music was only in the left speaker. Some audio feedback when the snakes cause you to drop the egg (and perhaps more visual feedback, like a flash of red or shake etc) would help identify the cause of dropping the egg better, since the snakes are often hidden. I like the use of the text prompts at certain points, but they should be bigger and remain visible a little longer when leaving the trigger zone, as it would be possible to miss them. I had to walk back to read information that quickly disappeared.
Really fun platformer. I loved the graphics, and the mechanics were solid. A+ tutorial work. I see you closely followed the Super Mario tutorial method and what the Super Meat Boy developers with introducing mechanics slowly and bringing them together in the end. Over all, it was fairly easy. Good work!
@samuel-hollywood-summers Yeah we did notice unfortunately that in some cases there were framing issues with some screen sizes :( Appreciate all your feedback, really helpful :)
There were some jumps that were far and pretty difficult to make (which isn't an issue, but then I had to walk the whole way round to get back and jump again) and maybe up the movement speed all in all a fun game with a clever concept and cool music which fitted the visuals, Well done!
A bit frustrating to play probably due to lack of a coyote jump and because snakes were so darn hard to see, but seeing all the wildlife was engaging :)
The controls are a little difficult to use. I feel like the jump is quite heavy. But it's original with a fun universe and style. Though the animal that jumps from the trees has a style way different that the rest giving a weird contrast. Still, good job !
This was a nice game. :) Simple, but effective. Sometimes I would drop the egg without really understanding why it happened though. As far as being challenging, I felt that the difficulty curve was just right.
Also the art was super cute and charming! Nice work all around!
Nice game.. character is so adorable, the problem is the jump button, it really takes an effort for me to jump onto another level. anyway, good job on making this :thumbsup:
Great chill vibe! Clever idea to have the egg take damage each time you fall. The in-game tips/tutorial was a nice touch. I had a little trouble with some of the jumps-- not sure if it's just me or if the movement mechanics and/or controls could use a little work. Definitely had fun playing this one!

Simple but working well :)
Enemies were too small, it was hard to see them. But that was your goal maybe.
Awesome final of the game! :-D
Still, good job !

The art was really cute, specially the way the girl holds the egg with her braids. Great job!
need to be balanced in order to get harder or get a chilling story
good feeling
