Orphanegg
Entrusted with your grandmother's orphanegg, will you take care of all the orphaned eggs and help them grow up and unlock their enormous potential?
You can play the entire game by mouse.
How to play the game [SPOILER]
We think figuring it out yourself is part of the game, but in case you get stuck, please look below.
Keeping the egg happy
You'll have to do a few different things:
- Move the lamp cap around to change the temperature of the egg
- Turn the lamp off if the lamp is furthest away and the egg is still too hot
- Change the base
- Add to the moisture.
- Turn the radio on or off
- Change the radio station between classical music, jazz, and metal.
Notifications:
: Three spikes, the egg base doesn't feel nice, switch to egg or pillow
: Bad music, either the station is wrong or the egg doesn't want music at all
: Too hot, the lamp is either too close to the egg or should be turned off
: Too cold, a snowflake. The lamp is too far away (and should be on)
: Too wet, ocean wave, the humidity level is too high, wait a bit for it to lower
: DRY, the humidity level is too low, you need to spray some more water in the room
: Not enough music, the egg likes music and the radio is currently turned off
: Annoyed, you'll see this when the egg tumbles out of its base, it means that at least two conditions (heat, humidity, music, base) are not right for the lil' egg.
: Happy, the egg is moderately happy but not super happy, this means that you can change up the base or the music channel to one it likes better. Some eggs like jazz, tolerate metal, and hate classical music, for example. The egg will already grow with this.
: Super happy, all conditions are perfect for the egg and it's growing at increased rate.

I filled the eggble, my life is complete
10/10 would play again
This game was so fun, thank you for sharing it with us!
I really liked it! The pixel art is lovely, this is probably oddly specific but I love the art for the spray bottle, its animated very nicely and I like the see-through detail :D The manuverability of the lamp is also a nice touch :3
For constructive criticism, the eggs often roll away too many times in a row, though you seem to already be aware of that one. Also the text that flies across the screen after hatching is quite hard to read for me at least.
But those grievances are minor, and in the end I had fun :D Who knew eggs could be such princesses hehe :P
can you link the farm thing in the description??
What's the farm thing?
I just finished all the eggs, it was super cute and fun! thanks for making such a lovely little game :)
Aww, heart-warming to hear you enjoyed it :) thanks for playing!
GREAT GAME, thanks for sharing. I played this about to know that unicorn egg needs lot of water mostly; I had need to spray water non-stop. I mostly love to care the book worm among the others.
* the unicorn is the hardest level to take care (water is the life to this one):
*I FINISHED this game,(PS: I wish I had a parrot egg with what ever species and color of feathers):
Hey, thanks you for the kind words, it made my day to hear that you enjoyed this :)
how do you turn on the music
Hey! Click the buttons of the radio :)
Thanks!
I HATCHED THE FIRST EGG LETS GOOO
Let's gooooo!
how do i play
Hey E,
Thanks for playing! I think our controls weren't as intuitive as we hoped, and the first egg is very hard to hatch because my final build was rejected by itch...
You'll have to do a few different things:
It will roll off when two things don't met its standards, but there's only a 30% chance it does... Though I do admit sometimes it seems to happen a lot in a row which is annoying.
The first egg needs the lamp to be the furthest away, the nest base, no music and humidity around ~50% to hatch.... When it's almost done, it will hint that it's too hot which means you'll need to turn off the lamp. It should hatch within a minute with these tips :)
thanks
Enjoy the game! 😁
Can someone help me with what each symbol means? I know most of them but theres still some I have no idea about.
Hey aehl,
Thanks so much for playing! That's a good idea, I'll add them to the description after adding them here.
