Eggstronaut
Eggstronaut
Description
You, eggstronaut, crash-land on a mysterious alien world. Explore the intricate cave system that you have crashed into. Collect broken off spaceship parts, solve environmental puzzles and repair your ship so you can blast off from this perilous planet.
Created for the Shovel Jam 2025, according to the theme "Just Get Started". For me, this was a very difficult theme. So I decided to keep it simple and also go a bit meta, hope you enjoy.
Controls
- Arrows - movement, inventory navigation and aiming
- C - interaction, open inventory and inventory selection
- Z - use ability in the first slot
- X - use ability in the second slot
Tips
- You can aim diagonally.
- You cannot interact/pick up abilities while mid air.
- Abilities vary on use some are toggle, hold and permanent.
- There are two different endings.
Map
- Green x's indicate the location of the ship parts.
- Also the map layout was... unintentional.

Dear creator,I really loved your game so i made a video about it

I found a softlock in this area; I accidentally used the grappling hook while sticking to a nearby wall, and now I can't escape!
This is a great idea but would benefit immensely from simply having mouse controls instead of aiming with the arrow keys. The equipment icons could also be a bit more descriptive, there's two letter Ts and they do completely different things, but look identical in the inventory.
wait, they do different things?
Havent tried both, just assumed it was the same thing :O
One of them is a grappling hook, the other makes you stick to walls and changes gravity.
okay, the way abilites are used and switched btween is combersome.Also not sure if it is the smartest thing to ymake you jump by shooting in the exact poopsite direction.one would assume to aimt to where you wanna jump.
left the rocket behind for now, not sure if I will try tog et the 10 thigns you apparently need for repair.
sutmbled upon a thing directly atop a spike pit, no idea how you are suppsoed to grab this mid air.
Besides the ui being slightly cumbersome, this game is super fun and unique! I'll probably play it again :D
had to give up on this at the first hurdle ... got the R but from then on it just became too hard to control jumps and too random in their activation ... a shame as it looks like a lot of work has gone into it
I gave it a try, you can shoot in a diagonal to make the jump :>
