Eggwards Big Day!
A downloadable game
Oh No! Your son Eggward, who has partially hatched, keeps wandering away from the nest! If he bumps into any walls, he will crack his shell and die. But with his shell covering his eyes, he can't see. So you have to guide him. He will always walk forward since he is so adventurous, but you can type "left" or "right" (capitalization is fine) to guide Eggward back to safety.
I actually really like this project and am interested to work on it more. I did this solo and I have no art experience, so some stuff fell through the cracks that I could probably spend some time fixing after the jam. I also narrowed the scope a lot and cut a bunch of features that may be fun like pits to jump over and foxes Eggward has to hide from. Also I had music blasting in my headphones everytime I worked on it so I forgot to add sound.
Either way, I would totally be down to work on this and make it something much bigger, but let me know what you think in the comments. Appreciate any help or bug finds. thx - blue9710x
PS: There is a surprise if you beat the final level

This was very fun! I liked it a lot and I am a big fan of Stanley and Lucy <3
I did not realize that there is a cooldown before you can type again until after completing the game. I thought it was bugged and just dropping some inputs so it would be helpful to tell the player that they cant immediately type after entering a word.
Like you mentioned in the description, I think more features and keywords would make this much more interesting.
I cried a little bit every time Eggward died (which was a lot of times for me)
