Eternity Egg

I got sucked in by the trippy visuals and stayed for the movement — bouncing, wall-running and pogoing here actually feel special. If you like borderline-PS1/PS2 surrealism and games that reward practice over hand-holding, Eternity Egg will ring your bell… once the bugs get tamed.

Core gameplay is all about kinematic movement: dash, pogo bounce, wall-run, wall-flip and a satisfying ground-pound that combine into a fast-paced parkour loop. You also pilot an upgradeable ‘garbage mech’ to traverse the overworld, wield an entropic staff to gather energy, and trade in a quirky gift economy. Levels are sprawling and encourage exploration — sometimes a little too much when the game doesn’t tell you what you can do. Combat exists but currently feels secondary: enemies spawn aggressively and rewarding encounters need polish. The audiovisual design is the star: bold colors, PS1-era nostalgia and a soundtrack that hooks you. Keep in mind it’s active early access: expect missing options, odd save behaviour, buggy menus and controller quirks. If the dev irons out tutorials, bindings and a few bugs, the core here could become a memorable momentum platformer like a trippier Mario/Odyssey or Penny’s Big Breakaway.

Eternity Egg is a striking, promising platformer with one of the most enjoyable move-sets I’ve tried — but right now it asks for patience. Wait for a few patches if you want a smoother experience; if you love discovery and don’t mind rough edges, dive in and help the devs polish it.
