The " Easter Bunny" has fallen down the hole again, but this time he had taken all the eggs and baskets with him. Can you collect enough before it’s too late?

Collect EGGS before collecting a BASKET for a large bonus towards your SCORE and to win the level. If you run into a STICK or STUMP you will lose any eggs you’ve collected. If you hit a ROCK you will have to try the level again. Earn a high enough SCORE to proceed to the next LEVEL. The difficulty will increase the higher you gain levels.

I had a lot of fun. This is my first game jam and the first time making anything in UE4. I still hadn’t moved from UE3 but I am glad I had taken this time to learn and a bonus was being able to immediately do something useful with what I learned. I made mistakes, learned how I could have done things better, but in the end I have to say that I absolutely LOVE the new engine.

It is best to use a scripting language to handle game-play elements of a game, because it’s easier to manage and doesn’t require recompiling the entire application for updates to ever-tweaking game features; tons of people know this and agree. Epic has taken this a step forward by turning scripting into visual programming and I absolutely love it. Bravo on how the entire system was designed, the flow often feels natural for programmers, and the speed to finish the logic is fast. A few things are repetitive but that could have been my inexperience.

Thank you for the engine and opportunity, Epic Games.

Thanks to that plays the game and I hope you enjoy.
