I praised the Egg :) A nice little color reveal game. Wish there would be an objectiv to win or end the game and some challanges.

A little disappointed that the egg didn't explode into a giant yolk mess :D. But what a neet idea to allow the player to literally change their world from a boring black and white to a new environment full of colours!

Definitely should add an objective like only having so much time to get a certain percentage of the world in colour, or maybe race the "black and white being" by undoing their actions through colouring and keeping up with their black and whiting haha.

Also, think of adding a reverb zone so that the "pop" sound doesn't cut itself off.

Overall, had fun playing with this little game and I did enjoy PRAISING THE EGG

@brotherbondproduction yeah the egg was more of an inside joke to some off the jamers I was talking to prior to the competition. Thanks for the rating and I will be sure to rate your game.

Praise the EGG!

This was cute. :) I enjoyed looking for all of the little scenes spread throughout the world. Wish the shooting sound effect was a little softer, but overall I had a lot of fun with this one!

What a neat take on the theme! But the best was that satisfying *thunk* effect when firing the shots. Something about it just really resonated with me! *thunk* *thunk*

Oh wow I really loved this. Less is more is always good. A bit of music would be nice but I loved the simplicity of it. Well done.

Love the idea!
Is there a way to give the player color?

The trees did confuse me at first for arrows. The audio was also confusing since it played the sound effect upon hitting something instead of when you shoot. But I did figure it out and found it relaxing to run around and color the world. Praise the egg.

Very cool idea! My only suggestions would be perhaps some kind of music, and maybe a percentage in the UI to tell you how much of the world you have colored. Movement feels solid and the trail effect is really nice, I just had to do a bit of backtracking to make sure I'd got everything before moving on to the ending. Great work, in any case!

Interesting concept!
It really need proper music/sfx to get the mood 'right' though.

Great concept, I think that like others were saying with some good UI and a clearer goal/progress tracking then it would be really good!

Cool idea! The sound of shot wasn't in sync with the firing, but overhall it was a really nice game :)

cute little "story game". But it is not so obvious on start what shooting black to black will give it color)

Neat little game, the "praise the egg" guys were a nice touch :) I couldn't help but notice how the character from my game and the character from yours look very much alike, they're just inverted versions of each other! Basically twins :D
