Hello, Yolkfolk! 🥚

I'm Chris, aka Algebra. I am one of the developers working on Egging On, and I wanted to tell you a bit more about the core mechanic of our game: The Tip Jump!

As an egg, you're able to roll and jump. However, jumping won’t always be as easy as you might think. The irregular shape of the egg means that you'll have to pay close attention to how you jump. To jump higher, you will have to do it at the right moment, when the pointy end of the egg touches the ground.

Let's take a closer look at how it works!



The greatest height can be reached by jumping from the tip of the egg, while the lowest is reached when the egg is lying on its side. The jump from the bottom is moderately high, although still much lower than from the tip. The transition is smooth so the jump from “almost the tip” will be “almost as high” as from the tip.

To jump higher, making sure to jump from the tip is more important than having a good run-up or jumping from a point closer to the edge. However, a short run up may still be needed to cover a greater distance.



A stationary jump on the side is low enough to allow easy change of the egg's alignment. This can help with aligning jumps with edges. It may also be helpful to hear and use the rhythmic sound of the egg and reposition the camera so that the rolling cycle is more clearly visible.



The Tip Jump is a great tool, but there are places where you have to be careful and choose the strength of your jump to avoid jumping too high or too far.

You might be wondering - how did we come up with such an idea?

In the first prototype of Egging On that was created during the game jam, we discovered that the jumps were varying a bit in height. We realised that it actually occurred naturally because that's when the egg's centre of mass was at the highest position. It made sense, and was fun to play with, so we decided to make this difference more prominent and that's how the Tip Jump was hatched.

🥚

That's all for today! I hope you enjoyed reading about the Tip Jump. We have many more egg-citing things in Egging On to share so stay tuned!

[h3]Hello, Yolkfolk! 🥚[/h3]

Egging On is about to crack open the gaming world!

As we advance on this eggciting journey, we're super proud and happy to share that Egobounds has joined forces with Alibi games to publish Egging On!

(Yes, we will be trying to keep the puns to a tolerable level, we promise.)


[h2]Why this partnership?[/h2]

When we first connected with Alibi, they told us something that stuck with us: they only sign games they truly fall in love with and believe in. What felt "too good to be true" at first has proven to be real, with their support and encouragement showing up everyday and helping us bring the best possible version of Egging On.

As Egobounds, we’re laser-focused on making Egging On a polished, immersive, and one-of-a-kind experience. But we’re not just about eggs—we're all about developing a game that surprises and challenges players in innovative ways. Alibi has been the perfect partner to help us take that vision and run with it.

With their support, we’re ready to hatch something truly special for you all!






If Egging On is cracking you up, follow Alibi’s Steam page for more projects that’ll hatch soon—they're just getting started!


[h2]What's coming next?[/h2]

As development progresses, we’ll keep you updated with regular behind-the-scenes content, dev diaries, and you can also expect to see sneak peeks of new environments and many egg puns & memes.

We are trying to be as transparent as we can in our development process, so feel free to ask anything!


And since we're sharing, here’s a sneak peek from a brand-new level we haven’t revealed yet.
