Is it intentional that the creature is running all the way over on the right side of the window? It is almost impossible to see obstacles early enough, quite frustrating.  (NOTE: I just played again and maximized the window, now she is running roughly in the center, you might want to check your geometry or start the window maximized).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>But all in all, the gameplay is really smooth and fun, the graphics are some of the nicest I have seen in the compo so far and the music matches the theme very nicely.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>One of the best games in the compo!"},{"author_name":"zconnelly13","author_uid":"3372","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:21pm","epoch":1387228560,"text":"Wow, that was so hard!

But I got the idea, and it's nice. I think it could be nicer to have a bigger fov for the camera, so we can see more of the screen and therefore of the egg when it is flying.

The creature has an egg and you have to keep it from breaking.\r\n\r\nThe original idea was to have the game only playable once and any time you came back to play again you would just see the creature there looking sad because it lost it's egg. Although I still like that idea it wasn't very fun. So I decided to add a reset button so you can play again.\r\n\r\nThe game turned into an infinite running game even though that wasn't my original intention. There isn't really an ending to the game. It just goes on forever. Maybe I will come back later and add an ending where the egg hatches.\r\n\r\nAll of the assets in the game were made by me except for the music. I got the main song from this post on reddit:\r\nhttp:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ludumdare\/comments\/1supfy\/looking_for_background_music_for_ld28_game_jams_i\/\r\n\r\nby abstraction on sound cloud. you can see more of their work here:\r\nhttps:\/\/soundcloud.com\/abstraction\r\n\r\n\r\n*this game requires java","title":"Eggcited"}
