Eggy features a unique artillery-based platforming mechanic that is both fun and challenging, rewarding players for creativity and exploration.
The game has a visually appealing design with beautiful environments and a variety of platforming challenges that gradually increase in difficulty.
The checkpoint system allows for a more forgiving experience compared to other rage platformers, making it satisfying to progress through difficult sections.

The final level is significantly more difficult than the rest of the game, leading to frustration for many players due to poor design choices.
Some gameplay mechanics, such as the mouse controls, can be inconsistent and lead to frustrating moments, especially during tight platforming challenges.
The post-game content is criticized for being a simple map flip rather than offering new challenges or modifications to existing levels.

The gameplay is characterized by a fun and unique platforming experience that incorporates innovative mechanics, such as teleportation-like nests and diverse environmental challenges. While the initial areas are relatively easy, the difficulty ramps up significantly in the later stages, providing a substantial challenge that may frustrate some players. Overall, the game is polished and visually appealing, with each area offering distinct mechanics that enhance the gameplay 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.”
- “I say 'middle point' in apostrophes as, whilst there are technically only seven areas in the entire game, it certainly feels like the final two make up for about 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 and adding more to them overall. The fifth area only continues this trend, but it is the last two that will be giving you some serious headaches if you went into this thinking it would be nothing more than a quirky casual platformer game.”
- “Given how the difficulty of such games tends to scale gradually upwards as 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, perhaps this would have been a fitting mid-tier area for that 'secret path', where nests are few and far between. This would explain why the achievement between reaching the sixth area and completing the game is so considerably different.”
