Eggs vs Knights by M9Josh

made by M9Josh for LD32 (JAM)

A pretty simple puzzle game in which you have a following of eggs. Collide the correct coloured eggs with the matching colour enemy to kill it. If you collide the wrong coloured egg with the wrong enemy then it will kill you and you'll have to restart the level.

The eggs follow you at 3, 5, 7 and 9 steps behind you, moving your character updates their position.

Yes every level is possible - but difficult!

WSAD to move. Collide to interact - to obtain an egg collide with a chest.

The OSX and Linux versions are untested, sorry!

Thanks to Buch (http://opengameart.org/users/buch) for the amazing looking dungeon pack!

The game looks nice and the idea sounds great. Unfortunately the collision bugs frustrate me too much and kept me from playing very far. I think these kinds of bugs are allowed to be fixed post compo. You should consider doing that I think!

Please fix the bugs, creator! I love how dreamy it looks but it's just really difficult to deal with - and the guy above is right, you're allowed to fix critical bugs like these during the judging!

not bad, the concept definitely has potential. The collision needs a bit of polish, but other than that, good stuff!

Very fun game, Although one level did eventually make me rage quit, because I suck :P. Sure I could do without the weird collision stuff, but the gameplay is in the right place.

The collisions are a bit frustrating.
But overall I think the mechanic of the game its different, simple and funny!

That lighting effect is amazing, I have no idea how you managed to do that. I had a lot of fun playing this, although it was pretty difficult to get the timings right. Good stuff!

i think this is a very interesting mechanic, but it is a bit difficult. its a weird challenge trying to get the eggs lined up right. but thats part of what makes it so interesting, that and the visual style

Really inventive use of the theme, and the difficulty of the levels ramped up well. Loved the graphical style.
