Ludum Dare #50compo
Eggs?
My first Ludum Dare game jam game! I didn't have a whole lot of time, and I basically made this game in like a few hours just before the deadline, but it still works (atleast kind of :)). All of the art is made by me (big surprise) and the code is also written within the deadline! Please remember that this game is pretty crappy, because I made it with sfml and c++ in which I have very limited experience with, so I didn't have time to add a splash screen, menu or sounds. Thanks! :D

Nice job, especially for the first time! And congratulation on your first game!
First good things:
- The jumping and character movement feels fine, which is not an easy task to do in a platformer (trust me I played a lot of platformers, where jumping was quite bad)
- Art style is nice. I like it.
- Game loop is good, but maybe should be a bit longer.
Now, some simple suggestions for the future:
- adding some obstacles (even simple) will add a lot to the game, since player would have not only focused on collecting eggs but also to avoid obstacles.
- An explanation, what the player should do, would be a welcome addition. You can add it here, on your game description (you are allowed to change this description as many times as you want, as far as I know).
Since you don't have Sound effects and music in your game, you should remove Audio category from rantings. Now, I think is too late, but next time, when you create a game for Ludum Dare, you can remove almost any category you do not need (not qualifies to) when you register your game for Ludum Dare.
I got 7 points as my best score.

I only got up to five points, but I enjoyed my time. There was one egg spawn I couldn't get to. When it spawns below the left upper platform. I can't jump high enough! Were those top ones supposed to spawn on top of the platform? This is an impressive little game for only a few hours and in a language/codebase you're not solid on. Great job!

@zimny11 Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate it a lot!! The obstacle-idea sounds fun, I'll definitely add it to my next game! And yeah I definitely should have made the instruction how to play! Thanks again for your feedback and time playing, I really appreciate it! :)
It's small, but I got the idea :thumbsup:
