Difficulty Update - Jeffrey Eggstein v0.1

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Thank you all for your support today! We've been paying close attention to your feedback and have got the message that the base game's difficulty makes the game inaccessible for some players. To remedy this we have added "Hatchling" difficulty for players new to Jeffrey Eggstein-type games.

EASY MODE

"Hatchling" difficulty significantly reduces Jeffrey Eggstein's difficulty. It can be selected upon the start of a new game, or enabled for a Chapter after failing a Chapter twice. Players playing on Hatchling difficulty will have a reduced multiplier when their score is calculated. We will refine this mode as player feedback is received. The base difficulty is now referred to as "Eggspert" and is the recommended experience for players seeking a challenge. More difficult challenges will be added soon!

BUG FIXES / MINOR CHANGES

  • Increased cursor visibility - the cursor will no longer disappear when highlighting objects in the environment.

  • The chapter's email can now be reviewed from the death screen.

  • Book 3 (The Plane) now properly displays custom egg colors in the basket UI

  • DDOL game handler objects no longer stack infinitely

  • A few other secret things

Thank you for your patience and support! We are grateful for everyone's feedback and patience thus far.
