This is now a real certified bruh moment. This is my first all 5* rating! I was so happy to find this game. Mechanic is fun and smooth. Art was so cute and adorable. Got to stage 8 no problem, but past that was difficult. Really hits the theme spot on and is so much fun!. Great Job!

Very good game! Just hope the egg would be easier to move at directions instead of bouncing it up and down, and the nest would be larger

Fits the theme very well, I like the blend of puzzle and platforming. However I'd appreciate somehow better control of the egg bounces

Nice game, really liked the pixel art and the music. In the beginning I found a little bit hard to move with the egg but got used to it :D

@henriquecanella @salmonmeagar @hiisileiri just pushed a update that should make controlling the egg easier. Would apreciate some feedback on it if possible. (:

Amazing game. I really enjoyed the concept and I think the level design is top notch. The art is also great. I think maybe the difficulty difference between some levels (such as stages 3 and 4) was a little too steep. I also think it would make more sense if coins could only be grabbed by the egg, as in some stages you can grab the coins before touching the egg. I think it would be cool if the number of times you hit the egg influenced the total score (sort of like golf). Aside from that, this game is impressive, good job.

so satisfying when you finally can get some nice movement, most funny game so far, movements feel polished.

Awesome graphics! Nice interpretation of the theme and a great concept. It's certainly challenging to control it horizontally. Maybe something can be done to help players aim better in more difficult levels? great fun nonetheless

Very original game idea, good gameplay and graphics! I found it challenging to get the bonuses in the earliest levels. maybe a bit to much for me ;)

This game was adorable, there were some levels which looked impossible even with the double jump factored in, but the graphics and sound made this feel really wholesome.

This game was rad! Everything felt very polished and the egg physics felt really good. Nice job!

Really enjoyed this game! The art style is amazing and I loved all the fine details that you added such as the backgrounds and dust from walking.

Only thing I can think of to improve is if there was a way you could get the dinosaur to jump forward to hit the egg at a fast speed sideways. Could be an interesting mechanic for this game.

But seriously keep it up, this is probably one of the best-looking games I've seen so far.

Awesome game. I love the graphics. It is really playable and makes fun. I played until level 11. I found a little "pixel-error". Look on the picture. ![pixel-error.png](///raw/912/42/z/32035.png)

And feedback for the music. I like the first part of music. But after a time there is an additional track. Unfortunately the second part doesn't fit the first part in my opinion. But anyway. Good Job!

Absolutely loved it! Perfect little package. The mechanic was very smooth and by the end I was pulling off some pretty intense shots haha. Loved all the polish, like the particle effects, felt very juicy. When I failed it felt like it was my fault, not the game's because the mechanic was so well done. Plus the art style was cute and fit the game very well. My favourite so far!

Really well done!

Beat all the levels! Great game! Loved pretty much all of it. Great art, mood, level/puzzle design! Some critiques though:

-Mid-Air Coins/Keys were the most annoying part to me. Getting the egg to hit their small hit boxes was frustrating, so I completely ignored all coins. I would suggest finding some other bonus for players or perhaps making them less difficult to get. (i.e. instead of a bunch of small coins per level, one large coin like in SMB)

-Would be nice to have a move that specifically gives the egg a bit more forward momentum rather than straight up

Stellar game though!

This was really well done. It was pretty challenging to figure out how to move the egg just how I wanted to (I didn't manage haha) but it was just soo satisfying to finally "land" it :laughing:
Congrats!

This is a complete game made in 3 days. Absolutely perfect, in the sense of saying that it delivers its purpose. You have the high level sound, you have the high level textures, the difficulty of the game, it runs smoothly.. i could go on and on.. and i will. Everything here seems to be top level, even the theme, keep it alive, this is very good, you three are legends! hope to see more of you.

I didn't think I would enjoy this, but came at it with an open mind, and to my surprise, I actually did enjoy it very much. In fact, i plan on coming back and playing it some more after I get a chance to rate a bunch of other games. The pixel art and animations are nice, the music is interesting, because as a musician, I pickup on the improvisation at hand, and think it's kind of cool that you put this track together in this way. Way to go! Best of luck with your votes, and hope to see your next game.

amazing entry my favorite so far, i'm amaze by the quality of the game, the pixel art,the sound, the level design is on point, i love this mecanic, the fact that the egg is going by default in the direction the character is looking when it bounce onplayer make the control of the egg really clean and statisfying.I can totally saw a full game like this with maybe 2 or 4 player in coop or versus like a sort of party game. amazing job! keep it up!

That's by far the best game I've seen yet. I finished the game with a score of 34100 and whoever put the air thing on the right in the last level is just pure evil.

WOW, this game its amazing. Really polished for a jam game, the physics worked great and the levels are really good. The dificulty curve needs some work (level 8 and 16 are pretty hard). I played all the levels and I enjoy them. Great work and keep working on this.

Favorite game so far. Hands down. The dinosaur is so cute, the mechanic feels unique and engaging, the addition of coins is really nice for the completionist. I found myself stuck on level 14 because I could not make myself not collect all the coins. I think I spent more time on this game than any other. The puzzles weren't hard but I thought they were clever. I liked the part where you introduce keys and then immediately flip the point of the key to be something you need to avoid. So cool!
The only critiques I could give were that dying before the egg falls into the nest seemed to be a coin toss on if it let me continue or not. Also, I liked the music but it got a little repetitive after a while.
Very well done! I want more of this game haha OH! I got 36,100 :)

You graphics are lovely. I was always sad when the egg dropped and split open. The game reminded me a bit of Yoshis Island for SNES, were you are also a (the coolest) dinosaur, shooting eggs at targets. The eggs in your game are more fragile, but at least they can withstand the floor and the ceiling ;). Nice game, I enjoyed it.

really great game, innovative, fun to play immediately. Graphics are good. Music was a little weird for me, like there were two different tracks going on, sound fx went well with the theme of the game. And good job with the theme of the jam too. Good Game

I love this game, it's really fun. This is one of the two most well-polished games I've seen in this jam so far, and one of the most enjoyable too. The scene transitions and level graphics are really nice. The controls are smooth and the double jump is very satisfying. I really liked this game. Great job!

Amazing entry, it already feels like a finished game. Mechanics are simple but very polished, and the pacing feels quite fair with a lot of new elements being introduced progressively (currently on lv. 11).

Graphics and music are lovely, that dusky sky in particular gives quite a relaxed vibe.

Super solid entry, congrats! :D

Cute graphics & fun gameplay. It's a similar concept to my entry (I've found multiple other platformers-where-you-can't-drop-a-fragile-thing) and it's interesting to see how many different ways there are to approach the same basic concept.

This game is just too funny XD

[pt-br] Minha única crítica é sobre a música, acho que em geral combina com o jogo, só que não soa lá muito agradável. Mas ri muito com o futevôlei e o ovo se espatifando XD Parabéns! [/pt-br]

Truly Phenomenal work, beat all the levels! So many mechanics, polished, innovative, fun, juicy, beautiful and fantastic music.
Honestly Great job! The only critique I have is I wish the nest would be a bit bigger, as I had moments where it would hit the ground near it when it looked like it's going in the nest.

Análise...

1 - Mecânicas, Aprendizado e Fluxo:
Achei bastante interessante o ovo quicar na cabeça do dinossauro como forma de carregá-lo.
Infelizmente morrer é algo que me deixou muito chateado (hahahahah). Além de perder, ainda uma vida foi desperdiçada. @.@
Aprender a jogar foi relativamente fácil (mesmo eu não tendo lido explicativo antes e tendo jogado apenas com a noção de que seria um plataforma para computador).
Senti falta de ter como controlar também via ASDW, além das setas. Creio que não seria ruim se as duas formas fossem usadas.
Aprender é uma coisa, ser bom no jogo é outra. Isso fica bem claro neste jogo. Novas mecânicas vão surgindo as coisas vão se tornando mais e mais difíceis. Hahahahah.
Nesse sentido acredito que o fluxo de jogo esteja adequado.

2 - Gráficos, Áudio e Narrativa:
Os gráficos ficaram incrivelmente bonitos, parabéns. Inclusive o efeito de brilho do personagem ao fazer o pulo duplo.
O áudio ficou divertido e (para mim) pareceu bem aplicado.
A narrativa não foi o foco, então não há muito que dizer. Apenas um dinossauro tentando salvar ovos.

3 - Cultura:
Lembrei de alguns aniamais que carregam seus filhos de formas inusitadas e também lembrei de pessoas fazendo embaixadinhas no futebol.
Creio que seja um bom exemplo de jogo plataforma, com mecânicas funcionais e desafios interessantes.
Gostaria de ver um placar de pontuação geral (comparar com outros). Acho que seria uma coisa bacana.
Eu sugeriria colocar geração procedural como um modo de jogo para o placar mundial (se for feito adequadamente pode ser interessante todo dia ter uma sequência nova de estágios).

4 - Monetização:
Creio que o jogo sendo estendido e polido (está bom para tempo de game jam, mas pode ter muita coisa desenvolvida), poderia vender para smartphones e até mesmo no Steam.

Analysis...

1 - Mechanics, Learning and Flow:
I found the egg bouncing on the head of the dinosaur quite interesting as a way to carry it.
Unfortunately dying is something that made me very upset (hahahahah). In addition to losing, still a life was wasted. @. @
Learning to play was relatively easy (even though I didn't read explanatory before and only played with the notion that it would be a computer platform).
I missed being able to control also via ASDW, in addition to the arrows. I think it would not be bad if both forms were used.
Learning is one thing, being good at the game is another. This is very clear in this game. New mechanics are emerging things are becoming more and more difficult. Hahahahah.
In that sense, I believe the game flow is adequate.

2 - Graphics, Audio and Narrative:
The graphics were incredibly beautiful, congratulations. Including the glow effect of the character when doing the double jump.
The audio was fun and (to me) it seemed well applied.
The narrative was not the focus, so there is not much to say. Just a dinosaur trying to save eggs.

3 - Culture:
I remembered some animals that carry their children in unusual ways, and I also remembered people playing football.
I think it is a good example of a platform game, with functional mechanics and interesting challenges.
I would like to see an overall scoreboard (compare with others). I think it would be a nice thing.
I would suggest putting procedural generation as a game mode for the world scoreboard (if done properly it can be interesting every day to have a new sequence of stages).

4 - Monetization:
I believe that the game being extended and polished (it's good for game jam time, but it can have a lot developed), it could sell for smartphones and even on Steam.
