An interesting idea, but the eggs freeze way too quickly to manage.

I tried a few times but couldn't ever get an egg to hatch. The restart button didn't work so I had to quit and open the game again. The game looks pretty good, seems like it would have been fun if I could figure it out.

Hey! Just played your game but had no idea how to play it properly. I didn't rate it yet, can you please enlighten me because it was confusing.

Hey there! My little owl stays asleep and nothing I touch (mouse or keyboard) seems to wake them. Any advice?

Thanks for the feedback!
There are some couple of bugs right now, the best way to wake up the owl would be to restart the .exe

I was able to get some eggs, eat couple of worms, and warm the eggs up, but to be honest, I was not really sure what I was doing lol and I was defeated at the end and not really sure why. Maybe adding some extra description (even here on this page) would help my smooth brain to figure this out. Otherwise, nice art!

So we played it a few times and still didn't get what to do exactly. Instructions are not so clear, seems like this game needs a better tutorial. As was mentioned above - the restart button doesn't work, so you need to restart the game manually. A character is freezing about a few seconds after you spawn an egg/touch a worm/etc. it is a bit frustrating. Idea of the game looks good, but definitely needs to be worked on.

Sometimes the eggs wouldn't let me pick them up - it would do the holding animation but with empty arms, and the egg stayed in place. Other times, when I did pick and egg up, it would just roll away as soon as a put it down. Made it difficult to put them near the fire.

I really like the models though, and it was a fun idea!

It is a good idea but it can also be improved.

The art direction is so good here - great work on the models! I had a lot of the same issues others mentioned, including riding an egg out of the ring and being stranded outside the level. With those issues fixed, some balance adjustments, and a tutorial - I could see a pretty fun little jam game here.

I couldn't really figure out how to play the game, and it bugged out for me a lot. I really like the premise of the game though and the graphics are amazing! Keep toying with this idea and I think you'll be onto something very good!
