  Is this different than the OUYA collaboration, a part of it, or its replacement?

  Hmm. I think the graphical style could work if you keep it consistent, but I'm assuming you're asking about the animation. The problem is of course that it doesn't actually look like a walk sequence. I'm sure you could find an animation side-on walk sequence that you could use as a reference point. You'll probably need more frames also ;)

  Put the control objects on the UI layer, then instead of mouse.x and mouse.y, use mouse.x("UI") and mouse.y("UI").

  Event 5. You check if eggsSaved=1, only then should the first egg follow the player. This is probably not what you want.

  Also, you are not doing this very efficiently. Everything you have done could be done with one object with a few instance variables. that way you won't have to repeat code. 99% of the time if you are repeating code there is a better way.

  Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

  It all depends on the first performance tests - we'll see if we can expect performance better than mobile,

  firebelly, since OUYA runs on Android, isn't that the only way?

  I think NotionGames ordered a dev kit as well.

  Notion, Let us know as soon as you get Ubi running on it!

  You could try setting the animation speed to positive/negative values with events.

  Proper curving is difficult. The only possibility I could think of would lie in the unofficial Canvas plugin but even then it's iffy.

  Of course, there's probably a way to fake it reasonable well with segments, but that might take a bit of trial and error.

  I'd use a timer variable for these cases when you want precision - I generally reserve 'every X seconds' for simple foolproof cases.

  To use a timer variable, just add dt to it every tick and it will up one increment every second. Then you can reset this and compare it at your whimsy.

  To get a really smooth movement, you could use lerp. That way there would never be an abrupt stop.
