Eggy is a hybrid of a 2D platformer and a rage game. It is a difficult climbing platformer with checkpoints. My biggest motivation for making this game was my desire to make an interesting nature inspired environment.
This game was made when I took a break from making mobile games. Still, never having made a Steam game before, I decided to keep the gameplay very simple. Just aim your egg and launch it. The decision for the player to be an egg is because an egg has a very unpredictable rolling speed, which causes more interesting scenarios where you think your egg will roll off the side but then it barely doesn’t. If your falling speed is too high the egg cracks and you return to the latest checkpoint.
This game got picked up by a lot of big content creators, especially in Asia. Unfortunately it never appealed all that much to the viewers who were watching. Another reason could be that the price was just way too high. (around $14 in 2021)
