Chickpea's Mini Quest for Cake
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.
