A fragile little egg on a big platforming adventure! Carefully manage your falls and your superpowered jumps through the weird, cold, and sometimes cute world of this puzzle platformer!

Judges' Comments

The game design is similar to Spelunker, where you die if you fall from a high place or get hit by an impact because you are an egg. This is an egg action puzzle game. It is not flashy, but it is easy to understand.

It is a development of Line Wobbler with novelty and beauty that goes beyond just adding dimensions.
