Have you played them all? The Chuckie Egg Collection https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/32062422 A game of skill for 1 to 4 players. Use the direction and jump keys to guide your man and collect a dozen eggs! Keyboard: <←↑→↓> or <AZ,.>, <Space> Jump. <P> or <H> Pause. Mobile friendly. Pro-Tips Climb Ladder - Run towards the ladder and hold the Up or Down key. Jump On Ladder - Jump sideways then hold Up or Down whilst passing a ladder. Drop Down Ladder - Jump straight up whilst on the ladder. Double Height Ladder Jump - Jump towards the ladder and hold Up, Jump and the appropriate direction key simultaneously. Bounce - Bounce against platforms or the sides of the screen. As Hen-House Harry, the player must collect the twelve eggs positioned in each level, before a countdown timer reaches zero. In addition there are piles of seed which may be collected to increase points and stop the countdown timer for a while, but will otherwise be eaten by hens that patrol the level, causing them to pause. If the player touches a hen or falls through a gap in the bottom of the level, he loses a life. Each level is made of solid platforms, ladders and occasionally lift platforms that constantly move upwards but upon leaving the top of the screen will reappear at the bottom. Hitting the top of the screen while on one of these lifts, however, will also cause the player to lose a life. Eight levels are defined and are played initially under the watch of a giant caged duck. Upon completion of all eight the levels are played again without hens, but Harry is now pursued by the freed duck flying around the screen and homing in on him. A second completion of all eight levels yields a third play through with both hens and the duck. A fourth pass introduces additional hens. Finally, a fifth pass has the duck and additional hens moving at a greater speed. If the player completes all forty levels then they advance to 'level 41' which is in fact exactly the same as level 33. The player starts with five lives, and an extra life is awarded every 10,000 points.
