This is a tiny 64x64 puzzle platformer made for LowRezJam 2024. 

Summary: 

You will play as a bombastic chicken lady named Chickpea who is on a quest for cake (the kind you eat). Specifically, she's out for creamy white cake found in inexplicably heavily fortified places, so she's employing the scorched-earth method to get it. How's cake end up in bases guarded by walls of lasers, spiked floors, otherworldly one-eyed abominations, and Tim the turtle anyway? The writer never bothered to make an explanation. It's a game. Get cake and blow s!@t up!

- This game is about half action, half puzzle with the use of eggs being integral to the puzzle platforming which serve as both your weapons and makeshift platforms.

The Themes:

This game is loosely inspired by 3 of the optional themes: 

Unconventional Weapon

You're shooting eggs, which we'll say are unfertilized.

You Are The Environment

The eggs are used for platforming. I swear you aren't using your unborn children as stepping stones.

Self-Destruction For Gain

You blow up the eggs. I would like to reiterate, they're unfertilized!

Great job on another fun little game. By far the most fun egg based game I have ever played in my life.

Thanks! I had more fun making a game based on eggs than I thought I would

Cute and fun puzzle platforming!! I love the cake eating animation too 😂

Thanks! I love that animation too. It made me giggle a lot during development 😄

really cool puzzle platformer, i really liked how you can stick the eggs to spikes to use as platforms that’s a very clever mechanic.

Also like the main character’s design and her sprite rendition in very low res is quite well done as well ^^

Thanks! I'm happy you had fun with it. And I'm glad you like Chickpea too. This is my first time creating an avian character

No problem, the game is fun, and for a first time drawing this type of chara, she looks cool :)

What a great game! Really polished and inventive. Is there any chance of adding gamepad support?

Thanks for the compliments! And thanks for reminding me about gamepad support. I meant to add that originally. I just made a small update that gives partial support that only seems to work on the downloaded versions.
