In 10 seconds your LSD induced bird hallucination is going to give birth to you. Get that egg to a safe place!
Arrow keys - Fly
M - Mute
N - Back to title
The goal is to get the egg to settle at an even terrain with no enemies to bounce it away. Dont worry about the bird, the egg is the priority!
Some people have thought that the final level is impossible. It is actually pretty easy if you use a trick. You just have to sacrifice the bird just after you deploy the egg. That way you can make the tentacles eat the bird and leave a nice safe spot for the egg to land.

I used Stencyl for the main portion of the game, Photoshop for graphics and Propellerheads Reason for sounds and music.
Sweet times!

This art direction is awesome! It may be nice to be able to lay the egg pre-mature if you are in a good spot? That way I dont have to attempt to hover, although the bouncing was hilarious!
Very very cool. The controls are spot on. You always feel slightly out of control but when you fail it still feels like it is your fault. Great job on the art as well. Very cohesive experience.
Wow I think this is the best one I've played tonight. Beautiful art and the sounds were very nice and psychedelic.
Everything about that was wonderfully weird. Best I've seen so far, great job :)
Talk about polish, you game is amazing on all points.
Graphics, animation, sfx, music, mechanics, level design, atmosphere.
This game is a gem.
Only black point for me, it's too big for my screen.
I really dig the graphics and the animations. The gameplay is smooth too, but really hard! I didn't think I totally understood what were safe places and what weren't
Great art direction, great gameplay, great music, great mood, great everything. This is probably in the top 50.
Looks great, feels great, a bit hardcore, but I love it anyway. I'll try and get to later levels now :-)
Great game ! Amazing artwork. Really good job. The music is very LDS-esque ;) Who's in the egg lol ?
Really hard! But I like it that way. The final level is goddamn impossible, though.
Nice graphics, sound and feel! Really unique entry, I like!
Well gosh. Lovely artwork, the music and sounds fit perfectly, the gameplay is balanced really well - what's not to like? Great entry :)
Ok, I loved this to bits. Brilliant effort all round, looks great, sounds great, cool gameplay idea! Could watch that bird bounce around all day...
I like the idea, It's quite nice :). Congratulations for the work!
Took me a little bit of time to learn, but after that game was really good!
The style is unique and that fat bird is just too cool! :)
Brilliant, really fun.
One thing - if the bird got scooped up by the blue tentacles AFTER dropping the egg in a safe place - the level was still completed. Is this intentional?
Beautiful sound and visuals. It feels really polished and the difficulty is pitched just right in my opinion. A blast.
Great! I have only one tiny complaint.. it's too tall to my laptop screen resolution. It didn't stopped me from playing anyway! Best game I've played so far :)
Very fun and charming.
But what in gods name did you think when you chose that resolution? Not everyone has a 1080p screen, especially laptops usually have a height of 768. And as far as i can tell, the game wouldve fit on less space without having to adjust the resolution of the game assets.
Still, i am not here to rate the games resolution, but the game itself, and you did a very good job on that, really. Well done.
well, obviously he had a port in mind, probably to an android or ios device ;)
this game is hard! ;)
I think this might be the winner for me. Amazing graphics and sound. Clever gameplay and great use of the theme. Good luck!
Very fun game, good level of difficulty also. The game was a little too tall for my computer, but I was still able to play it effectively.
Wow, this game is really awesome. Very surreal and crazy art style too.
I made post-compo version with a slightly less tall. Hopefully that helps. You can play it on GameJolt http://gamejolt.com/games/other/hallucivian/17117/
So cool. Spent way more time on this game than I expected to! If I could art like you art, I'd be... artsome?
Everything was really good! To the music, to the art, to the gameplay, to feel of the game. The challenge was good too.
You made a really amazing and bizarre gem. :)
Brilliant, loved the feeling of the game. Thought it was distinctive and unique. Really enjoyed it :-)
Amazing! Having to coordinate your bird while also making sure your egg lands at just the right spot leads to engaging, if a bit frustrating, game play. The trippy artwork is also gorgeous.
Lovely art, the music is good, but the controls are a bit irritating at first, but I got used to it.
Oh, it didn't fit on my screen, 1920 x 1080.
wow, I love the art in this game! Great use of colors, it really captures surrealism. The gameplay is great as well, it's pretty hypnotic as I watch the bird bounce around.
Very cool game, seemed really hard to place the egg safely but otherwise fun and nice art!
This is absolutely fantastic. Looks and sounds gorgeous and plays really well with it. Exceptional work.
And thanks for the lower resolution version, I couldn't comfortably play it before.
Really nice job. Definitely one of my favorites. This has iphone/android app potential written all over it.
A 5-star entry here. Unique (right down to the presentation) and fun. The egg's physics felt a bit too floaty on the first try, but later it leads to some funny results. I actually like how subtle the audio is, it does its job well.
Wow, this is really a great entry. And the game description is one of the best we read so far! Congrats!
Look, I have no clue what I have played, BUT I LOVE IT. 10/10 of weirdness - factor. Love when people go wild with their ideas.
Words can't suffice to describe how much I enjoyed it. Pretty much the most amount of time I've spent testing an LD entry ever :) Really loving the graphics environment you've created.
Kudos. Keep the good stuff coming :)
I love your art style! Very fresh colour scheme, and so many wobbly bits! :P Pretty neat interpretation of the theme, and just the right amount of frustrating. I did have the collision bug out on me once. When I was very close to the ground, the egg was laid inside the ground, and fell down. Luckily it got stuck inside the bulb below, so I still cleared the level.
Loved every second playing this. However, let's be sincere here, people, the last level is just IMPOSSIBLE, isn't it?
The game is beautiful, I like all the different sprites for the bird. It's really hard though
Solid entry, man. Really oddly beautiful. Fun and kinda hard to play. Well, I totally sucked at this, so for 10 minutes I was just letting the bird bounce around and see the physics working haha. I think where you list the tools you used you should mention the drug you took. :P
Terrific art! I can't seem to even beat the first level though.. I can land the bird but it poops the egg right off the cliff every time!
Good :
Awesome Moebius bird and animation
Nice (but repetitive) music
Intersting gameplay
Less good :
Hard to understand the game play : I believe the bounce was part of the gameplay
Screen size.
Seriously insane. Lovely bright colours and good choice of music!
Wow, shitload of work done for 48h. Something fresh for sure. Needed a little time to figure out how to play. Controls could be a little more fogiving, now it's really hard to stop his acceleration.
Audio was really nice as well. Good sound design!
Everything is absolutely crazy in a good way. The gameplay is also satisfying (the "only the egg matters" is great - tho my pseudonym doesn't approve). Really great work.
Really smooth movements, even though a bit challenging. And oh, the soundtrack's remarkable! Had me feeling dizzy...in a good sort of way. Spent a lot of time on the last level before I figured out that the tentacles left a safe space after going in.
When you think you have seen everything.... Really cool, can't think of any other game like this^^
Wooooooo, far out! I like what you've done here, a really solid contribution to Ludum dare #27. This would work well on mobile I suspect as well.
The only issue I have is that the flash game window is way too big for my screen. My screen is 1600 X 900, but for some reason I can't get the game to scale to fit so I can see the whole playing field, so I keep dying ;-) That is the only problem, probably not related to the game itself. I'm using Google Chrome if that helps?
I love the psychedelic vibe the game gives, art and music are amazing. Gameplay also feels really polished, and it's challenging, but it doesn't seem impossible to beat. Brilliant work!!
Oh my goodness the art! The art and the music are wonderful. And they gameplay is fun too. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR OWN BIRTH THAT IS CRAZY
Retry? Ok! Pretty fun game but the physics felt a bit out of control which made the game feel a bit more luck based. A couple of the levels I only completed due to pure chance and just retrying again and again. Still, this was a very fun game and had nice graphics. Only realised after playing that this was actually taller than I could see! I actually ended up playing the game without the graphical timer as that was off-screen. Nice game though, very nice for the 48 hours! Good work :)
Great on-drougs feeling in the graphics and music. Was very frustrating after many retries. Level 1 should be easier :)
maybe i can't get the controls down, but i cant even get past the first stage. no mater what my bird goes bouncing off. even if i try to straighten it up before falling.
anyway great art sound, music and unique gameplay.
Very good art, music, sounds, atmosphere... and really hard! :D
The animation and graphical style are both awesome. The music is strange, but interesting, and the sound effects are really good.
Brilliant! Loved the trippy graphics and the game mechanic. Excellent work.

Entirely awesome game, entirely awesome surreal world and characters. Really good work Hypnohustla.
