Ok, so a while back in one of my trawling-through-MAME binges I came across a puzzle game that:
1. Is kind of like anteater, as you trail your way into a maze to collect things (and can retract your line), but you can walk around all the borders of the screen
2. I think the characters are chickens coming out of eggs
3. Is probably in Japanese and likely has a generic-sounding name
I've tried to find it again but simply cannot remember. Any suggestions?
