Very creative and funny concept, and a good challenge to aim the jumps. The main character art is super cute. Great job!

The physics of this game was wild to try and play! I am so bad hahaha
It was super cute, and the music was very uplifting and fun. The comment text over the level was also quite funny. Nice entry!

I really dig the music and the variety of creatures. Made me want to play some green hill zone, despite the other apparent inspirations!

This is probably the best game I have played in a while, also the most I have raged in a while.

Not normally a fan of physics aiming games, but this one was a lot of fun, i could see how someone could really master speed running this.

Very nice platformer with some funny moments. Definitely set a nice mood there as well. Don't know whether you considered it or not, but checkpoints could prevent a bit of the frustration people face. Sometimes the platforming mechanics also felt inconsistent but that also could be part of the design. I find it quite impressive you made an asset pack and used it yourself to make something within 8 hours. Great entry!

Boats, I'm gonna need you to tell me your best time, ASAP.

I want the world record.

@osh-studio broooooo that's insane! u def got the record haha. Mine is 5:40 xD
The hardest part for me is the money at the very top where you have to jump on the 4 tiny platforms

@osh-studio i managed to get a 4:58 but was still struggling on that on that top part. I just uploaded a post jam version that just increases angular drag (makes you rotate a lil slower and easier to get the right angle). would love to get your input if it feels better since you got the record xD

Gotta press H to get into postjam mode and ur color will change
here my post jam run lmaoooo

Fun game! Definitely fits the vibe with the other hill climber/frustrating games, and the art style was super cute. The design and theme were really good, loved it!

You don't want this smoke mr @itsboats. You may be the creator of Da Eg Hatcha, but I'm the best hatcha eva.

The new input definitely feels easier, I feel like it helps an already challenging game, good update. Although I like the old input as well.

ew money. reject materialism. good game difficulty for a jam imo. at first it's really hard but then after a bit it just clicks.

I am glad I watched Tobugis play it on stream because I struggled with the mechanic of movement and couldn't get far at all :')

I like the silly nature of the game though and simple but colourful visuals look pleasing to the eye ^^

You don't stop to amaze me, with no time at all last weekend, you managed to whip up a crazy fun game with cute graphics!

It was really fun to play, yet challenging at times. Great job!

Harder than it seems, but delicious!

I want to put this song on my alarm clock so I can wake up happier!

Congratulations!

I think this might be a new record for the original controls? Funny enough, this was my first complete run - On my first couple attempts, I kept getting hard stuck going left from comic sans for ULTIMATE LMAOS, but when I came back to it this evening, everything just clicked

![da-win.PNG](///raw/dec/c2/z/688c6.png)

Absolutely loved this - Great vibes, great humor, great game. Great job!

The only feedback that I had was that the controls felt a little bit twitchy, which made it really hard to launch myself at an angle (this was what kept getting me stuck originally), but I saw that there was a post-jam update, and the new controls feel buttery smooth.

Another awesome entry!

I DID IT IN 23 MINUTES WOOOOO. Great entry! Especially only being an 8 hour jam WOW! Now I'm curious how many people got the moneys. For me I followed da rulez, "Don't worry about the money." I'm a good egg hatcher rofl.

Super cute. Loved the creatures, the entire game was one huge cutefest!

@osh-studio yooo I got a 1:45.694! I still made a few mistakes, but I think a <1:30 is definitely possible. attached vid of speedrun too

Another boats classic. Admittedly I did get frustrated by falling all the way down but it was fun nonetheless.

The mechanics should have made this a rage-inducing game, but the cute characters make the journey way more pleasant :)

Got all characters and later all the money (I almost thought the first one could not be reached 😅).

All hail lil wormy!!

I think the main mechanic here's got a lot of legs. :eyes: I never quite got good enough to do wall jumps, but I feel like I could learn and practice and become an eg hatching masta.

This was a ton of fun! Definitely was easier for me when I used the updated purple controls, but I feel like you could totally siphon a way a lot of time from folks!

Wow I'm awful at this. It says something great about a game that you can be terrible at it, want to smash your keyboard into pieces, and then realize that you've come back to play the game again 3 days in a row...

Seriously well done - Looking forward to your next game!
