EggBird

Gameplay in EggBird is based on precise timing and spatial awareness. The player controls Pip using a keyboard or touchscreen. On a keyboard, the left and right arrow keys move the bird horizontally. The up arrow key or the spacebar initiates a jump. Holding the jump key allows Pip to perform a short glide, reducing the rate of descent. On a touchscreen, a virtual joystick on the left side controls horizontal movement, and a tap on the right side triggers a jump. A longer press on the jump button activates the glide. The primary objective in each level is to reach a glowing red egg located at the top of the screen. The player must navigate moving platforms, avoid spikes, and time jumps to cross gaps. Certain levels introduce wind currents that push the bird horizontally or vertically. Later levels include rotating platforms that change angle over time and fragile surfaces that collapse after a single use. The game features a checkpoint system: small white feathers placed at intervals within a level. Upon death, the player respawns at the last touched feather. There is no score, timer, or collectible items. The only interface elements are a pause button in the top-left corner and a counter showing the current level number. The game does not include a tutorial; all mechanics are learned through trial and error.
