Aissaiyah and Joyce - what a fun game! I really enjoyed the design (it made me very nostalgic for video games that I used to play...) You called out in your description that you would create a clearer connection to animal rights in a later iteration of the game, and I would be really interested to see where that goes. Overall, this was a very engaging user experience, your lead character in the game is adorable, and you've created something both fun and challenging -- well done!

:>)) Firstly, this took me back decades when I was playing such games, though none with a social theme that you have brought in. Kudos.
I am sure you would do even better in the next version of this game to bring in more graphics to show what happens when egg touches the water and make this game more impactful for your base issue of "show people how our treatment of animals is wrong".
Overall, a very nice, refreshing and thought provoking attempt to this big issue in a very simple and fun way. Would love to see the next version of this game. All the very best.

Wow! I love the design of this game! Cool characters and I really enjoyed playing it. I loved the story you outlined too, and your ideas for the ending - I hope you keep working on it!
I did find the game to be pretty hard, to be honest - I couldn't get very far without dying. I would love to have an easier setting, at least for the first level, or maybe a way to adjust the difficulty setting, and some instructions on the first page. At first I didn't realize how to move the egg to tap the other one. But overall, this is a really great game! Congrats and keep it up!

The game was very fun! I think it presents a moral problem that's really interesting to think about.
