- Eggy features a unique artillery-based platforming mechanic that offers a fun and challenging experience as players navigate through colorful environments filled with obstacles.
- The game includes a reliable checkpoint system with 'nests' that allows players to respawn and explore previous areas, encouraging creativity and exploration.
- The graphics are visually appealing, with each area having its own distinct mechanics and aesthetic, contributing to an engaging gameplay experience.
- The difficulty spikes significantly in the later levels, particularly in the final area, which can be frustrating for players who found earlier sections manageable.
- Some platforming mechanics can feel inconsistent, particularly with the egg's flinging ability on certain surfaces, leading to moments of frustration during critical jumps.
- The post-game challenge lacks innovation, simply flipping the map instead of providing new or modified challenges, which may feel lazy to some players.
gameplay
12 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is characterized by a unique platforming experience that combines teleportation-like nests with a gradual increase in difficulty across seven areas. While the initial areas are relatively easy, the latter stages introduce more complex obstacles and mechanics, providing a significant challenge that may frustrate some players. Overall, the game is praised for its polished visuals and engaging mechanics, with each area offering distinct gameplay elements that enhance the experience.
“The gameplay in this game is so fun, and everything looks polished and beautiful.”
“Every area has its own mechanic, going as crazy as sticking to honey to getting squashed by hydraulic presses.”
“The game feels great to play, and every area has, besides the lovely environments, its own mechanics which make them unique.”
“One thing I should note right off the bat is that these nests are a little unique for what some would deem as a 'precise platformer' that aims to be challenging for its intended audience, seeing as these act more akin to teleportation spots that activate once the player has reached them. At any point during gameplay, they can go back and forth to any of the nests they have reached up to that point.”
“Given how the difficulty of such games tends to scale gradually upwards the higher up you progress, it should be a given that you'll be facing bigger challenges as your skill with the game's platforming mechanics is tested further and further. However, I do feel like the final area may be a gap too big for some to cross over, and would explain why the achievement between reaching the sixth area and completing the game is so considerably different.”
“I say 'middle point' in apostrophes as, whilst there is technically only seven areas in the entire game, it certainly feels like the final two make up for about roughly 50% or potentially even more of the gameplay time. Players early on will breeze through the first three areas without much fuss, however the fourth area ramps up the difficulty a couple of notches by extending the areas themselves between checkpoints considerably, as well as adding more to them overall.”
