  • Evil Egg is a fun and addictive twin-stick shooter that successfully captures the chaotic arcade action reminiscent of classics like Robotron 2084.
  • The game is free, offering a surprising amount of depth and engaging gameplay, making it a must-try for fans of the genre.
  • Players appreciate the vibrant visuals and fast-paced gameplay, which keeps them coming back for more despite its challenging nature.
  • The game's visuals can be overwhelming and cluttered, making it difficult for players to discern important elements during intense action sequences.
  • Some players find the difficulty level to be punishing, with a lack of clear instructions or tutorials leading to confusion about gameplay mechanics.
  • There are complaints about the absence of a pause feature and the game's tendency to spawn enemies directly on top of the player, leading to frustrating deaths.
  • gameplay
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as fast-paced, chaotic, and enjoyable, with a blend of classic arcade mechanics and roguelike elements that keep players engaged. While it can be challenging and occasionally overwhelming, many find the depth and skill ceiling rewarding, despite some frustrations with the scoring system and occasional technical issues. Overall, players appreciate the fun and addictive nature of the gameplay, with a strong emphasis on mastering mechanics and navigating the frenetic action.

    • “Gameplay is fun and crazy; I find myself caring about those greenoids way more than I thought I would. When I start the game up, I always have to let it sit on that start screen for a bit because that song that plays is just so good.”
    • “Surprisingly more depth than you'd expect with the speed/rescue mechanic. It's very punishing and snowball-y in both directions too (getting hit makes the game harder, skillful play lets you hold onto your upgrades), which might not be to everyone's taste, but I dig it. A game that 'gets it' in that it makes the road to mastery rewarding in itself.”
    • “It's the perfect mixture of fast-paced arcade gameplay interlaced with light randomness in enemy placement and build opportunities.”
    • “Sometimes I got hit because of this habit, but it is nonetheless incredible how, despite how all-over-the-place the game seemed (to me) from both the trailer and the first 30 minutes of gameplay, the game still somehow feels completely fair and visually comprehensible.”
    • “There is an intended mechanic where, if you stand still upon entering a room, the game may attempt to spawn an enemy directly on top of you.”
    • “Neurotic gameplay.”
  • graphics
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by a chaotic and vibrant art style that evokes nostalgia for early arcade games, particularly reminiscent of 80s aesthetics. While many players appreciate the wild and intense visuals as engaging and fun, some find them overwhelming, making it difficult to discern gameplay elements. Overall, the unique and pulsating graphics contribute significantly to the game's appeal, despite occasional critiques regarding visibility and clarity.

    • “Graphics are wild, pulsing, and outrageous just as you'd hope for a 'Robotron inspired' twin stick.”
    • “The visuals are fantastic, it feels like crack for your eyes, only without the negative effects.”
    • “Surreal and fun, I love the vivid art style and the sounds.”
    • “This project has fascinated me ever since I first saw its unorthodox vomit graphics which can't be turned off.”
    • “With the intense visuals combined with the focus it requires, this game may as well be Polybius for all I care.”
    • “Great game but the lack of tooltips and the noisiness of the visuals can be a bit annoying.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game receives mixed feedback; while the title theme is praised for its quality and ability to set the mood, players note the absence of a main music track during gameplay, relying instead on sound effects that complement the chaotic action. Some users express a desire for additional music to enhance the experience, as the current audio primarily consists of a low drone amidst the frenetic gameplay.

    • “Gameplay is fun and crazy; I find myself caring about those greenoids way more than I thought I would. When I start the game up, I always have to let it sit on that start screen for a bit because that song that plays is just so good.”
    • “The music makes me feel like impending doom ever so slowly approaches. So many things spawn on top of me, I have no idea what's going on; so many colors, it's like a unicorn barfed on my screen.”
    • “There is no music barring the title theme, only a low, sweeping drone underlying the incessant cacophony of death and gunfire.”
    • “There is no music barring the title theme, only a low, sweeping drone underlaying the incessant cacophony of death and gunfire.”
    • “I can't see my guy, my retinas burn, why are the bombs bigger than me, the music makes me feel like impending doom ever so slowly approaches, so many things spawn on top of me, I have no idea what's going on, so many colors it's like a unicorn barfed on my screen.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has been criticized, particularly on older hardware, as players report frame rate drops below 60 in certain early rooms, even with visual filters disabled and at lower resolutions.

    • “The performance is somewhat questionable for its visual style; our computer is quite old, and some early rooms can cause the frame rate to drop below 60, even with the filters off, unless the resolution is set to 1x to 2x pixel scaling.”
    • “The game struggles with optimization, leading to frequent frame rate drops and stuttering, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “Despite its appealing graphics, the game suffers from poor optimization, making it difficult to maintain a smooth gameplay experience on mid-range systems.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the absence of mandatory grinding in the game, highlighting that there are no strings or free-to-play (f2p) mechanics that require excessive time investment.

    • “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious.”
    • “I find myself doing the same tasks over and over just to progress.”
    • “The amount of grinding required to level up is frustrating and takes away from the fun.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model is well-received, featuring no in-app purchases and a commitment to avoiding pay-to-win mechanics, ensuring a fair experience for all players.

    • “No in-app purchases, no pay-to-win.”
    • “The game offers a fair monetization model that doesn't pressure players to spend money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game is completely free to play without any hidden costs.”
    • “The monetization model is frustratingly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending money.”
    • “I feel like I'm constantly being pushed to make in-app purchases just to keep up with the gameplay.”
    • “The game is fun, but the monetization tactics really ruin the experience, as it feels like everything is locked behind a paywall.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of "evil egg" is characterized by its frantic, fast-paced gameplay combined with a brooding tone, creating an engaging and intense experience typical of twin-stick shooter roguelikes and bullet-hell games.

    • “Evil Egg is a great twin-stick shooter roguelike bullet hell with frantic, fast-paced, and brooding gameplay and atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere in this game is incredibly immersive, drawing you into its dark and mysterious world.”
    • “Every corner of the game is filled with tension, creating an atmosphere that keeps you on the edge of your seat.”
    • “The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking the depth needed to immerse players in the game world.”
    • “Despite the game's potential, the atmosphere is dull and fails to evoke any real sense of tension or excitement.”
    • “The overall ambiance is disappointing, making it hard to stay engaged with the game for long periods.”

    • “The witty dialogue and clever puns kept me laughing throughout the game.”
    • “I love how the game doesn't take itself too seriously, making every moment a fun experience.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is vague and unclear, leaving players questioning its coherence, yet the overall experience is enjoyable enough that some feel it should not be free.

    • “The story, if there is one, is not clear.”
    • “The narrative lacks depth and coherence, making it hard to engage with the characters.”
