Part of your job as an alchemist involves procuring rare and wonderful ingredients through various legal and illegal means. Today, your target is the majestic phoenix egg, on display at a museum. However, the guards will be on high alert, and because the egg is so hot to the touch, you'll have to be juggling it in the air.

Use WASD to move, jump, and wall jump. Press space to swing your sword, knocking enemies away and eggs into the air. If you egg hits the ground four times, it breaks, and you lose - but this also applies to the eggs held by the guards.

Battle through the museum exhibit hall, museum entrance, tunnels, dock, and finally your ship.

While I found this super hard, I also really enjoyed the game as a whole. Great job on the compo finish!

Wow! This was really hard to play, I didn't manage to keep the eggs safe more than few seconds :laughing:
But even if I'm bad with that kind of games, this was fun to try, and the art is good, so well done!

5 levels. This game has 5 levels. I have to say, this is the most enjoyable "Hard Game" I'm come across in a long time. I'll be sure to write a review about it to earn you some exposure. Nicely crafted!

Nice game for a compo, but I found it too hard. It wasn't really obvious how the egg behaves with your position relative to it.

If this part was a bit better, it'd be one great game.

The music is a bit repetitive though.

But seriously, for a compo game, well done!

I am terrible, and thus couldn't go past the second level, but I enjoyed playing. The characters are adorable, I must say. Congrats on making this, it's a hidden little gem.

What I struggled with the most is the lack of fullscreen mode, I had to squint really hard to play, and everthing was going so fast in all directions. It was hard to keep track of the egg, yet alone the alchemist.
