Unbroken Shell

Awesome! Cool atmosphere! Surprisingly very difficult game. I couldn't get passed the second set of narrow platforms I must have tried like 10 times ): Graphics are very unique. I found myself getting very attached to my little egg :) Congrats!

I enjoyed the effect of the robot waving. The artwork was very good and atmosphere was very mysterious. Nice job.

Great atmosphere. Very challenging, loved the art style. The controls require almost pinpoint precision though, I think if the game were a bit more forgiving (i.e. dont just yeet the egg away when we collide) it would go a long way. Well done!

Surprisingly fun and difficult game. I clench my jaw every time i jump.

I really liked the background, especially the moon. It took be a bit to get use to the controls and more variation in platforming would go a long way. Over all great game, Good Job!

@stolen-biscuit I actually was worried that people would find it easy! You can defintitely keep a pretty good grip on the egg but there's a bit of a trick to it. I definitely should have considered an outsider's perspective more in the design.

@petturtle Yeah, I wanted to expand the platforming more but I locked myself into the character/tilemap proportions and found that it was too difficult to maneuvre n in tight spaces for more interesting platforming and too late to change the movement mechanics. Ah well, something for my next project.

This game got me so frustrated, right to the brink of giving up. And then I made it through. Perfect job on the difficulty balance. I feel like this was a platformer-puzzle game because of the way I had to figure out techniques to keep the egg in place. The frustration in a seemingly simple task reminded me of QWOP. Really good job. I enjoyed Unbroken Shell a lot. This is the first game that I see has an idea similar to mine - protecting an egg. Though my game is very different. I think the music was a bit meh, mainly for lack of reverb and a bit too rigid rhythm, but other than that - the vibes and atmosphere were great.

A perfect blend of difficult and fun! The platforms jagged edges became frustrating but other than that it was a very satisfying experience! Well done!

Interesting idea, and well implemented.
I'm afraid I couldn't quite get the hang of this though. :sweat:
One minor point, the collision is a little bit messed up on the edges of ledges sometimes.

This game ended up being very difficult. Great job. There were a couple times when the ledge would go through my arm and break the egg. Great job!

It was challenging and fun trying to jump with the egg.

hard but kind of cool

Pretty challenging. Loved the look of the game, and the concept was nice. Felt a little too hard, but I can totally see that you could get better at it over time.

I did it! I delivered the egg! But at what cost!? :(

Loved the ending, enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the world. The game was definitely challenging. The best tip I can give to others is wait until you've reached the apex of your jump and then move forward. Trying to move in the air too early is a recipe for disaster in the later parts of the game!

Nice aesthetic vibe.

I also found the second run of platforms to be difficult.

Interesting idea, but I wished the difficulty was more gradual!

Really hard game ! It took me a lot of attempts to beat each part, thank you so much for putting checkpoints ! I loved the graphics, the music, and the idea. The ending was quite lovely too. :purple_heart:

Nice atmosphere, it's cool that you took time to polish the visuals, the feel is good.

fun game with good vibes. I felt like the physics on the egg are just a little bit too janky though, especially considering it's very dependant on how exactly the egg is situated in your arm and there's no straightforward way to manipulate it.

cool vibe, and all around atmosphere
the only thing I didnt really like is the movement physics (instant stoping after letting go of left/right), it made it more challenging but to the point of frustration, other than that very cool :)

It's frustrating in a good way. I really liked the concept, and its challenges.
You have to stop, find a good position before you next jump, don't rush.
I like it.
Cheers.

I got too frustrated and quit after the second section of identical platforms with gaps between them. Game seemed to be more about luck with physics than any kind of feel and control. I did like the mood and presentation though :)

Great concept. Love the music. I like the way there's skill in understanding which way the egg is rotated. Once I figured out to pay attention to how the egg is rotated in my arm before I jumped this got even more interesting.

The music is well suited.

The game is uber frustrating at times :) Reminds me of "Getting Over It" (in a good way)

I kobe'd that egg into the nest, pretty cool graphics, challenging gameplay but once you get the rhythm of jumping with the egg it gets easier.

I dont understand what happens in the ending cutscene though
