Eggcelerate!

Eggcellent

They say you lose 90% of your eggs by the time you turn 30. Well in this game that is certainly true. But at least you will have fun doing so.

Got this to cover it for 2022's Indie Racers Festival, but it'd been sitting on my wishlist for a hot minute so I probably would've ended up here anyway. Solid physics puzzler that outlines the basics right up front and escalates things just quickly enough to keep you on your toes without feeling unbeatable. Things get a little pressing in the late levels as they're fairly long compared to the quick hit early challenges, but they're easy enough to break down into practice-able sections as you get better at just cruising through one or two parts before hitting another brief wall. I still have a ways to go before truly "gitting gud," as a look at my achievements are a testament to, but I'm looking forward to picking up the follow-ups with different settings.

Game is challenging as heck, but you get good if you keep trying and improve your times, 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 Dev times (which are very difficult to beat), then you try to get rank 1 in the leaderboard ( I havent achieved this yet ^^ ) The car movement feels real good, and you can do some pro moves by bouncing the egg off the car and back into the basket, playing with controller is a must, I use the Nintendo Pro Controller myself. I liked the base game but the eggpansion is way better imo, Im a fan of sliding on the snow/ice and new mechanics like the train, if only I had a SteamDeck to play this on my commute :'(

A fun game with a simple, yet addicting mechanic. Frustrating at times but clearing the courses is rewarding once you nail them down. A bit repetitive at times, but the game will end before you get tired of it, wanting for more.

I'm a big fan of easy-to-learn but hard-to-master games. This is the most fun I have had with a game in a long time. The car controls are optimized for you to break as many eggs as possible. You have to grind your way through it and eventually, you will break an egg right before the finish line. You will want to quit. Don't! Fight the urge. You will finish. After finishing the first few tracks, you will get addicted. Now finishing isn't enough. You have to be the best. You WILL be the best. PS: No chicks were harmed in the making of this review.

A delightfully goofy and infuriating time attack obstacle course where you have to balance an egg on top of your car while driving through increasingly elaborate and treacherous tracks. Can be frustrating at times because it's so easy to drop your egg. Min/maxing takes decent skill with racing lines and precise control, and more than anything perseverance. Some levels make you choose between going fast and playing risky or playing VERY slowly. If you're the kind of person who doesn't have the patience to go slow you'll find completing the game fairly difficult, but also very rewarding once you do. I'm the kind of person who gets frustrated fairly easily, and while this game can definitely get me worked up, it's too goofy for me to stay mad. Overall I'd say it's definitely worth picking up if only because it's a fresh take on the time attack genre with plenty of hilarious ways to fail. And I hope you're ready for egg puns, because you'll be reading a lot of egg puns.
