Awesome Game! I loved the animations! I didn't get very far, the enemies spawn so quickly!

I LOVED this game. The mechanic of throwing yourself around the level is so fun, I never realized there was a jump. If anything, the escort mission hinders the game. I would love to play it with the egg removed!

Love the visuals, controls, and movement. Don't like the premise, or the enemies.

Cool! Neat game! I liked the concept. I think the game would probably be just as fun without the egg.

Awesome mechanic, really fun to fly around with punches. Really cool graphics too!
I did find that the difficulty went in a direction I wasn't expecting in level 2, when the egg moved to places I hadn't been to yet, which always ended up with me failing the first time it moved, then beating that section, then it would move again to a new part of the map and I would fail because it would get there before I discovered where it was going.

Cool platformer, although is tad bit out of balance but it plays nicely even if hard. The charge punch is very fun and the added screen shake, sound effects, animation makes it feel super powerful.

Like a camera-shake effect and your graphics! Multi dash in air also cool!

Very fun game, it looks awesome :) A little bit hard to follow the egg and try to protect it but still amazing, good job!

Well done and fun game! Animations and music are great. Game play was a bit hard for me, but I enjoyed it.

Great game! Satisfying to play with the punches but the egg dies very quickly. I felt at times the game effectively taught you through failure. In level 2 the egg moves through the walls requiring you to run all the way around to get to it, but you wouldn't know to do this early on if it didn't die the first time. So I think better pacing and level design is needed there, but otherwise the game was good!

Very cool game, very challenging, and the attacks are hard to manage, but maybe I'm just bad xD

@mateusboga Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment and link the VOD! Definitely appreciate you playing it on stream! The difficulty is definitely overtuned, so you're not alone in that opinion. Thanks again!

I loved the music and the feel of movement and combat. Great game!
The enemies respawn way to quickly for me though. I could not make it past the 2nd level, which is a shame. Maybe add an easy mode next time for people like me who are not great at platformers :D

The pixel art was awesome and the music was cool too. Movement as fast and fluid and it felt nice smashing enemies. However, having the enemies continuously re-spawn was not a good choice. I would smash them and then see that they still did not die. This would be a great game. Just have to iron out some issues. Great job man :)
