You're the Egg Connor Mceggor. The Easter Bunny kidnapped you out of your eggfull life for his annual Easter Delivery.
Reach the top of the easter basket in time to eggscape, but beware the deadly parkour!

This game was made in 72h as an entry for Ludum Dare 53.

Use WASD to move and Spacebar to jump.

The game might take a moment to boot up / load once you click start. Thanks for your patience!

Ich liebs :D

Wow. Where to start.

I love the humour. I literally laughed out loud when I read your text. I love the voice acting (especially that annoying canon ball). I love the references (i.e. Wilka) and the general silly vibe that takes me back to video games from the 90s and early 2000s.

I'm not sure about the theme fit for this one, but I did have a fun time playing through this. I wonder what's next for Connor Mceggor? Maybe having to traverse the garden on his way back home?

Would be fun to see where his journey will lead him ...

The game didn't start. The screen flashed and then nothing happened.

I couldn't stop smiling while I was looking at the screenshots, but I can't get this to run on a Macbook under CrossOver. Hit me up if you'd like help testing out other Operating Systems so you can increase your reach!

Good game! It's fun, but it's not always clear why you take damage

Thank you guys so much for playing!

Nice game! The audio is great and the theming is consistent. It was a bit laggy for me. Considering the game already has a low poly feel you could probably get away with graphically cheaper models. It's a refreshing tangent on the theme. Congrats!

I love the humor many many games forget or are unable to think of good humor for the game but this had it. Also music and graphics are very good. The only downside is the short gameplay i would have liked to try many more levels with even more humor and hard challenges. Ofc time is limited but the game was so much fun. :v: :smiley:

5/5 eggs would play again. I'm pretty eggstatic about the sound design it's quite literally the yolk of the game. The chewing gum strips were a bit eggravating to get over, but after some fries I cregged it. A clear eggsample of silly premises making for a fun eggsperience.

cute bunnies!

Good job! The game was very funny and b entertaining.

The game is laggy on my pc, but the platforming is fun. One thing I'd change is to make the camera a bit more dynamic so it's easier to see where you're going.

I played on Windows 11 and it was pretty laggy. The graphics are nice. It would have been nice to see a shadow where the egg will land when it's jumping.

It was eggcellent!

KoB-Kirito4 May 2023, 18:23

That the egg rolls in the wrong direction triggered me hard xD But great game! Fun to play, cool level design. Sounds 10/10!

The perspective was kind of weird and I kept jumping off and ran out of time :stuck_out_tongue: . Cute graphics though and theme idea was nice!

Played it on a lower end laptop, it had some heavy stuttering, and the main menu took a long time to load. On my PC it went better.

The gameplay is nice, the voice over is awesome. There were several moments where I didn't understand why it would take me to the save point, like there wasn't anything obvious to why, but it was fun in general.
