Egg Friends by nwestninja

made by nwestninja for LD34 (JAM)

Parenthood is hard. You take your offspring with you to the beach, talk to them about Dostoevsky, and tackle complex issues about the state and capital before sending them off into the world as their own unique little person. That's why we created this hyper-realistic parenting simulator.

'Egg Friends' is a controversial examination of the human condition where you do something five times and get a companion. There are things to unlock, so that's cool, I guess.

This game was made in GameMaker Studio.

It's enjoyable at first but it quickly got tiring, especially since the only reward to seeing more companions is their flavor text.

This game was really nicely made. I especially love the artwork and text associated with each action. Music was simple (in a good way), and I didn't encounter any glitches.
The gameplay itself does get tedious after a while, and I didn't have the patience to unlock all companions, but what I did play of the game I enjoyed so good job :)

Not my particular cup of tea but the art style was unique and the music seemed fitting. Repetitive after the first play through when you realize you just have to grind through all the options.

Pretty funny, nice variety at first but, like the others said, gets repetitive. More challenge is needed :)
