Eggcelerate offers significant replayability, with players encouraged to improve their times, unlock all levels, and strive for leaderboard rankings. The game's challenging nature and numerous achievements (87 in total) provide ample motivation for players to return, making it highly engaging for those who enjoy extreme difficulty. Overall, it is described as addictive and capable of keeping players entertained for several hours beyond the initial playthrough.
“Eggcelerate is an extremely addictive and fun game that keeps you engaged for an hour, but has several hours worth of replayability.”
“The game is challenging as heck, but you get better if you keep trying and improve your times. There's lots of replayability for this reason. First, the goal is to just beat the level and unlock the next one until you've unlocked all. Then you try to beat the developer times (which are very difficult to beat), and finally, you aim to get rank 1 on the leaderboard (I haven't achieved this yet).”
“The only downside to me is replayability.”
“I unlocked just 17 out of the 87 total achievements, so there is a lot of replay value for people who are into extreme difficulty.”
