My daughter has always loved Easter -- so even after she became an adult my wife and I continued to have an egg hunt for her every year.

Four years ago we moved away to Europe. When that first Easter came around I decided to use Construct to make her an ONLINE egg hunt using pictures of our old house! She loved it, so the virtual Egg Hunt is now a yearly tradition.

The theme changes every year. This year it was: "Our Mexican Christmas!" and I used photos from our recent trip together. We stayed at an airbnb on the beach and it was glorious!

Here is this year's game: cuttergames.com/egghunt_2020

INSTRUCTIONS & NOTES:

1. There are 10 scenes. Each scene has 5 eggs. Find them all to move on.

2. You can zoom in and out using the middle mouse wheel. (When zoomed in, you can drag the screen.)

3. The game is a whopping 75mb. Give it some time to start.

4. I downloaded the music from YouTube. Please do not distribute!

Oh, and I just want to say a big thanks to everyone at Scirra! Using Construct 3 is a ton of fun and I'm still amazed that I can create 1920x1080 games that run so nicely in a BROWSER. Outstanding!

And it's such a versatile tool... This year I thought, "Hey, I wonder if I could add a full screen video?" I had to lower the resolution to get it to stream well, but it worked great, and it was very easy to implement.

After I got this year's game working I thought, "Next year, when I have more time, I should add the ability to save your progress..." I did a little research and it was so easy I had it working in like 15 minutes! How awesome is that?

Hey, Allan! I remember you from last year. :-) Thanks for playing my game again. My daughter got busy and never finished last year's version, so I tried to make it a bit easier this year.

It takes me a couple of days to make these (using my old project as a starting point), but Construct is so easy I find the work a lot of fun. And this year I didn't really have ANY unexpected problems. I got a little nervous when the intro video ran great during testing, but once deployed to my website it froze and buffered every few seconds. That had me worried, but I reduced the render size to 640x360 and then it was fine.

In every level theres that ONE.

It seems like you got somehow even better at hiding eggs this year, and some of them actually cracked me up..! I like the video at the end~

Ah! I remember this! Thanks for doing a new version - it's a great family tradition! Now to go ruin my eyes staring at the screen for way too long, I better turn on NightShift. Well done!
