Here be some high pressure game play here. Lovely Models and Graphics. Few pointers:
-Its sometimes hard to distinguish the distractions, for example I lost a few times bc i thought the distraction was the cat when it was in fact the door. Perhaps use a highlighting system?

Really creative and quirky game, love the art style, graphics and concept! I found the game to be quite tricky as there were too many distractions and the bar went down quicker than I could get rid of them and unfortunately I was unable to reach his creative breakthrough :( but I had fun playing this good job guys!

Really liked the models and the concept, but it became quite hard quickly, with too much distractions at at time. Well done !

I love the cartoony shading and the different models and animations !
Sound effects where great too (an ambiant music would have been a cool touch).
I loved the idea and found it really funny, the objets falling in the background add for some fun to the gameplay.
I mixed up the cat and the door distractions at first because the arrows are in a quite similar spot but the sound effects easily makes you understand the sources of distraction.
ps: Why doesn't the snail have a shell ! :)

Fun game but I think it lacks of some variety in gameplay!

Hey! Good job ! The game is really fun, I like the idea of Keeping a Concept (like creativity) alive, it well represents the mindset of an artist that is trying to create and to focus on its work!

I'm just a bit disappointed that there's just a simple text at the end, I think showing something like a drawing or a sculpture at the end would be a bit better for the reward ?

Overall, the game is really nice !

Very good for a 3 days game. This game is not balanced, and is very hard.

Nice Graphics and ambient good job! It is a bit to hard to play and the sound to loud D:

Great ascetics, straight forward gameplay and piles of paintings. Great submission!

J'ai bien ri, le nombre de tableaux, guitare etc qui tombe en arrière plan x). Master of focus. C'est marrant, le personnage principal est un oeuf comme beaucoup d'autres jeux de la jam.

Qui symbolise facilement la fragilité pour ce thème mais le contrepied de tourner autour d'entretenir la créativité c'est une super bonne idée, en plus vous avez dû sentir une mise en abîme pendant la jam à résister et rester concentré sur la création !

Le style de rendu est super et le jeu est bien fait, seul bémol c'est effectivement un highlight plus marqué des disrupters aurait p-e été mieux ?

Pas très fan de l'utilisation du thème, mais c'est très joli et agréable. Simple mais efficace. Je ne vais pas mettre le gameplay sur un piédestral mais l'important c'est qu'on passe un bon moment (Ca fait toujours plaisir). Et en soit c'est plutôt propre.

J'ai mis un moment, cela dit, à comprendre que les tableaux venaient du personnage et que les sifflements n'étaient pas des distractions. Mais je n'aurais pas forcément d'idée pour faire mieux donc bon ^^.

On sent que vous avez dû prendre du plaisir à faire le jeu et c'est très agréable, en tout cas.

Nice job, guys! The game is really funny. It is great that it is completed and short. I didn't finish it successfully the first time because I didn't see that the door and the cat were different objects of disctraction. Still, it's awesome!

beat the game, nice 3D graphics! I think it didn't really need camera panning far objects, probably need more variation to the gameplay.

so far nice entry!

This is exactly what writing a thesis during lockdown with all your flatmates feels like.

:rofl: how much attention does that :cat: require!?

Funny game, impossible to keep creativity flowing in that setting though!

I found that all but the cat distraction went away by a single click. I didn't really notice the cat becoming better with fewer clicks either so my egg had very little chance. However it didn't feel all wrong, it kind of felt like a game were the only possible outcome should be that you fail.

It was too fast and too small! I would do several levels with increasing difficulty. But cool graphics and functions perfectly. And I would stroke kitty anyway!

Really nice game ! (a little too loud but nothing terrible)
It as a fun moment and the overall experience is good, always careful ready for the next annoyance x)

Oh my lord, I feel the stress of Mr.Egg. I found it a nice lil experience overall. I really like the polish you did with adding the outlines on things and the plopping of his creations in the back. A little bit more feedback when I cleared the distractions would have been cool, or perhaps adding the outline thing to them, but red, because the particle effects linger a bit afterword. Great work though!

Nice game! Really liked the graphics, gameplay is also neat. But I run into one problem. I don't know why, but even though I was clicking on the cat, it didn't stop decreasing my stats. It happened every time I replayed the game (I played it in one go, maybe this bug won't be a problem in the next run of a game).
